87-1 Escape to Paradise at Puamana's Hale Nalu

Welcome to Hale Nalu, a beautifully updated townhome in the tranquil Puamana community just south of Lahaina. This 30-acre private paradise offers a peaceful retreat away from high-rise hotels and crowded tourist areas, yet remains close to world-class beaches and golf, unique shopping, and fabulous dining in Kaanapali and Kapalua. While the devastating 2023 fires destroyed historic Lahaina Town and impacted 40% of Puamana’s oceanfront community, including our historic Clubhouse and some homes directly next to and behind this property, Hale Nalu and the southern side of Puamana were spared, offering a safe and serene haven amidst a community in recovery.

Despite these challenges, Puamana retains its charm and unique amenities. Guests can swim at the Dolphin Pool, play tennis or pickleball, or take a three minute stroll to the shoreline, where the presence of sand varies with the tides and ocean conditions. Surf breaks fronting the Puamana community often provide great waves for surfers and body boarders alike. Hale Nalu is ideally located less than ten minutes from Lahaina’s Safeway and Foodland Farms grocery stores, the renowned Old Lahaina Luau, and a range of dining options. Enjoy exceptional restaurants such as Mala Ocean Tavern, Honu Oceanside, and Star Noodle for a more refined experience, or choose casual favorites like Aloha Mixed Plate and Coco Deck for a relaxed meal with island flair.

Hale Nalu itself has been thoughtfully updated to provide both comfort and style. The fully remodeled kitchen boasts new appliances and cabinets, while split-system air conditioning ensures the family room and bedrooms stay cool and comfortable. The home’s interior has been completely reimagined with contemporary furnishings, including a custom monkey pod dining table, and features fine art photography celebrating Maui’s waves, a perfect homage to the home’s name, which means "House of Waves."

The master bedroom on the ground floor features a king bed, TV, and ensuite bathroom, along with a walk-in closet with a washer/dryer. Upstairs, the sunlit dormer loft comfortably sleeps five with a queen bed, two twin XL beds, and a daybed. Blackout blinds allow for restful sleep or a relaxing nap. Please note that loft ceilings are low, so please be mindful. The loft is also open to the lower level, a consideration for a family with very small children. Both ground-level bathrooms have been recently remodeled.

Outdoor living spaces invite you to embrace Maui’s beauty. Begin your day with coffee on the front lanai’s cozy hanging porch swing, or unwind in the evening on the spacious rear lanai, perfect for BBQs and private gatherings. A grassy area beyond offers a safe play space for kids. The home is well-equipped for beach adventures, with chairs, a cooler, and boogie boards available. Should you choose to rent surf or paddle boards while visiting the island, you will find a board storage rack on the rear lanai.

Staying at Hale Nalu offers a unique opportunity to support a recovering community, while enjoying Maui’s natural beauty and tranquil atmosphere. Whether you’re planning a relaxing vacation, celebrating a special occasion, or seeking a working retreat, this home is the perfect place to experience all that Maui has to offer. Book your stay today and create unforgettable memories in this island paradise.

Had a great stay with our daughters! House was in a great location for surfing and boogie boarding at the beach by the house and just a few minutes from Lahaina. The house was clean and updated and had everything we needed.

What a gem!
The condo is nestled in a quiet and clean community - with two access points to the beach. In addition, it's only a mile from front street which provides the option to be close to the action of the little town, but far away enough to feel the peace of paradise. We loved the location! In traveling with our three young daughters (12, 9 and 6), it was great to have plenty of lawn for them to play catch and run around on at the end of the day! There were also several pools that our girls loved too. The condo itself was clean, updated and had incredibly comfortable beds. The washer/dryer in the unit was an added bonus. Upon our next return to Maui, we'll definitely stay here again.

Best stay EVER!
We really really loved this place. Thank you so much! The location is good and the house was lovely! It was comfy for the all 5 of us, my children loved the board games and wanted to stay at home the whole time. Everything was clean and well equipped and NEW! I loved the samsung washing machine and dryer. Everything we needed were already there including beach chairs and tubes and body boards. Beddings were great and they had extra blankets in closets. We want to come back to MAUI just to stay here!

Perfect larger family vacay property
87-1 couldn’t be more of a perfect vacation rental. The condo was well stocked with all the comforts of home and accommodated my family of 5. The front lanai is very peaceful as well as the back lanais which includes a bbq outdoor shower and all the beach toys surf boards, chairs ice chests, everything a family would need for a day at the beach. The gated community is well kept with three pools and access to the ocean. Mahalo for allowing us to stay at your beautiful home we all could feel the love your family has put into your little peace of paradise.

Great location in beautiful spot!
This is a great newly renovated property! The loft comfortably sleeps 4 with plenty of extra space. Master is nice and big and private from rest of the space. We loved walking down to the pool area in the evening and look at the whales breaching right in front of us. An incredible beautiful spot, we look forward to visiting again someday!

Great place, easy to find, yet still quiet. A little bit away from the Front Street area which was good as it gets congested, would certainly use again if I return to Maui.

Lovely Vacation
87-1 Pualei Drive is a perfect vacation rental. The front and back lanai have plenty of seating and shoe racks. The back lanai has an outdoor shower to clean snorkeling equipment and rinse beach sand. The kitchen is fully equipped with pots, pans, baking, and dining needs. Appliances are top-of-the-line with an oven that is both convection and conventional. We took advantage of this well-appointed kitchen to cook locally caught fish. Love the bedrooms!! Lots of pillows, crisp sheets. The windows have blackout blinds for those who are late risers or for an afternoon nap. The bathrooms are very clean, supplied with thick fluffy towels. The water pressure in the showers is guaranteed to remove the most stubborn beach sand. As for those sandy bathing suits, the full-size washer/dryer is convenient. The Puamana grounds and common areas are beautifully maintained with a plethora of exotic flowers in a riot of colors. The clubhouse is the perfect location to watch the sunset over the island of Lanai. So, grab your favorite snacks and liquid libation and head over to the club house. Besides the beach, there are 3 pools for swimming or sun worshiping. Snorkeling is great in the water next to the property. It is like swimming inside an aquarium of colorful fish. The reefs around Maui are a must, so buy that special reef sunscreen that does not harm fragile reefs. The Internet is super-fast so you can stream all your favorite shows or watch them on the big screen TVs. Also, there are a large rolling cooler and boogie boards for taking to the beach. The property is in a gated community with guards watching the property and ready to help with any problems. The main clubhouse is stunning next to the water with a large patio area and table, where you can take your meals, or just sit and enjoy the fantastic view and the sunsets. We cannot wait to return…

Comfortable Home in Beautiful Property
Our family stayed here for a week vacation - we had our 2 teens and their 2 friends with us. The house was great for our group. It appears to have been recently updated and was very clean. The primary bedroom on the main level was spacious, the bed was very comfortable. The kids all slept in the upstairs area, which also has its own couch - very comfy for them. The AC works well. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware for making complete meals, including baking dishes (which not all rentals have). This home is within a gated community that is really beautiful and very safe. We loved the pool located right at the ocean. At night, you can float listening to the ocean waves and look up at the Milky Way. The property is located fairly close to the main tourist area of Lahaina, perhaps a 15 min walk to the park with the old Banyan Tree. We had a rental car which was nice for grocery runs and exploring other areas of Maui. The friendly management company was very communicative and responsive. We received messages prior to our stay to give us all needed info for arrival, they made sure all was well during our stay and were even helpful when we needed an urgent care doctor for an injury. We highly recommend this home and property and would definitely stay here again!

Great vacation
We stayed a week in Maui and we really enjoyed our rental. Everything is as shown on the pictures. We loved the backyard for our early breakfasts or late diners. This place has everything you need including boards, umbrellas and chairs for the beach. The community is very nice with tennis courts, direct access to the beach and several swimming pools. It was very quiet and relaxing. Would rent again if I come back to Maui
