About this property
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. A complete renovation of the spectacular Ocean Pool was completed in October 2025, offering guests a one-of-a-kind setting right at the water’s edge with breathtaking views of the Pacific. The Dolphin Pool is also open and available for use.
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.

Host was awesome. The location was incredible with a private beach. After a day of exploring the island, it was great to come back to a peaceful and private space with pools, beach and pickleball.
This place had everything we needed to be comfortable this week. The air conditioners worked great and kept us cool. We loved hanging out at the pavilion near the pool to relax, listen to the waves and just enjoy Hawaii! It was heartwarming to see the Lahaina is coming back strong. These are good people and we loved being in the neighborhood.
This place was perfect for our 11-night stay in Maui! Our family of 5 fit well; the upstairs bedroom was great! Plenty of room for the kids. The master had plenty of room, too. Air conditioning throughout with a splits, so it was very comfortable even though it was screaming hot outside. The kitchen could use some new and bigger pans/pots, but that's a minor point. We cooked a bit in the kitchen and the stove and oven were very nice. The dining table was beautiful, but the benches were unstable if the weight on them wasn't centered. The check-in process was seamless, and the house was extremely well-appointed. There were beach towels, boogie boards, sand toys, snorkeling gear, and even a grill with appropriate utensils and grilling baskets. We wanted to stay longer. None of us were ready to leave. A wonderful place for a Maui base. Lahaina is a great town, too, and they are trying to rebuild after the 2023 fires. Lots to do in the area!
Loved our stay in Lahaina. The property managers were so gracious and happy to have guests back after fire and wanted us to let them know what might be needed. They were great about taking care of the few things we found. Reading some of the previous previews from before - wanted to say, there is a flashlight in closet, 4 beach chairs, 2 recliners (anti-gravity) 3 boogie boards, cooler...all of which we enjoyed. the pool was just a few houses down and very comfortable and relaxing. Really enjoyed in the morning and evening going down a short walk to shoreline and watching the waves and whales. Take you binoculars! So fun!!Enjoyed eating at the Aloha Plate in Lahiana-great food and prices decent. We actually stopped at Costco and picked up food so ate at the property most days. Great Weber grill and the kitchen was very well stocked. As far a condements there was salt and pepper. Also enjoyed the panini grill-worked great!Would recommend a fan in the guest bathroom as it does get pretty humid in there after a shower. Overall tho the bathrooms were very nice. Adequate counter space, very roomy shower with great water pressure. The hardest thing for us was not having a bathroom upstairs. The upstairs was very nice and roomy, watch out for corners tho! :) However we are all in our 70's and so I think that is more of an issure for us at night then for a family or younger couples. Great place to enjoy Hawaii and have quiet and have some R & R
Gorgeous property and subdivision. Home had everything we needed and the sunsets were to die for from our private beach!!

The description and photos displayed are very accurate. We had everything we needed (boogie boards, beach chairs, umbrella, snorkeling gear). However one of the beach chairs strap was torn but was still useable. If going to restaurants, you have to drive as the only open places are only by the local Safeway. Otherwise we had a fantastic and relaxing time.
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.

This home was great for my family of six. It was close to the beach, and had many bonus items to make the stay even better. I feel like we used all the things that were there to make the experience great like the beach towels and boogie boards. The sunsets were beautiful and there was plenty of shopping, eating, and groceries close. We enjoyed mornings on the back patio before heading out for the day. I would recommend this place to anyone.
The property was in a perfect location for us and what we planned to do. Everything was provided for us and more; owners provided beach gear and all amenities that were needed for our stay was there. I would definitely stay at this vacation home again! Thank you for the hospitality!
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.

wonderful recently update modern unit.
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!

The condo and property were beautiful. The condo has everything you need for your vacation. Close to Front Street. Everyone was very nice. We had a great time.
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
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.
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!

This was a great property for a family. Plenty of room, clean and updated. We enjoyed the community as well. Very quiet and gated. The landscaping was beautiful. Property had two outdoor spaces and was a short walk to pools and beach. Private beach was clean and great for the family to enjoy. We would stay here again.
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.
