This is an amazing location. Just feet from the water, and great access to the public beach, which is perfect for folks who want to swim, surf, SUP etc. in the ocean. The location is also an easy walk to Lahaina.
The space is very comfortable, well appointed and very well maintained. The Puamana complex is beautiful with large lawn areas, three pools, and plenty of area to walk without being on a major road.
Karen is a GREAT host. She responds VERY quickly to inquiries and provides in-depth instructions regarding access to her unit as well as to the Puamana complex. Check-in and out are a breeze, and any question not answered in her thorough instructions are answered via a very quick email reply.
Some friends who live in Kehei came for a visit and were very impressed with the unit and Puamana, this coming from locals who live a stones throw from the beach.
We enjoyed just hanging out on the Lanai and surfing literally in front of the unit multiple times each day. It made motivating for other activities a challenge :-)
Do be aware that you are requested to launder the beach and bath towels before leaving, so be sure to plan for time to handle that task before checking out.
We would rent from Karen again in a heartbeat, no hesitation whatsoever.
