About this apartment rental

Experience the ultimate ocean immersion at Punahoa Beach 201 and live your Maui adventure right on the beach with immediate access to the protective, warm-water swimming and vibrant snorkeling reef for which Kamaole I Beach is world renowned. Spectacular forever ocean views await from your lanai and caressing tropical breezes blow right off the ocean.

Kamaole I Beach is one of Maui's best stretches of sand and will be your gateway to the meandering beach path that meanders for miles to the South, past the Wailea resorts and Kamaole II and III Beaches. Located in the heart of South Maui's beach culture, you are a block from Kihei's best surf break, across the street from kayak/SUP rentals, and a short walk to more than a dozen great restaurants and a grocery store.

Nature has seen to the spectacular view and soothing ocean, and the loving owners of this well-appointed condo have done the rest. Split system air conditioning tempers Kihei's year-round summer temperatures, ultra-fast internet keeps you connected, and a comfortable king mattress will lull you to sleep and help you prepare for the next day's adventure.

Enjoy Maui's astonishing sunsets, cook full-scale island feasts on the gas grill and fully equipped kitchen, or hang with the gentle, grazing sea turtles you are likely to see right out front. During whale season (November to April), you will have a private front row seat to the antics or launch a kayak from right out front and enjoy a special close-range adventure.

The kitchen features elegant custom bamboo cabinetry, granite surfaces, full sized stainless appliances, microwave, and coffee maker. Upgraded cable streams through a wall-mounted Smart TV.

There is nothing like being beach front on Maui to make your vacation one you will never forget. Your designated parking space and a shared laundry room are just downstairs.

This is our 3rd stay at Punahoa. Our first visits were in 1997 and 2000, and we again found this facility and location to be ideal. Located in Kihei, it is an easy walk to restaurants, food carts, the “Snorkel Store”, & of course the ABC store. The condo unit has a beautiful location on the shoreline with well-groomed grounds and wonderful sunset views. It is an easy drive to some of the best beaches for snorkeling, body surfing, & relaxing. The location is a short distance off Kihei Road, so it is quiet and peaceful. Our condo was clean, with a well-equipped kitchen & 2 AC units (bedroom & living room) that could be run separately from one another. Parking is a bit tight, but doable. The management company was communicative and responded quickly to our concerns about a non-working garbage disposal. The Punahoa manager was friendly, and even shared his lumpia with us on the patio one evening. Yes, we would definitely stay here again if we return to Maui.
