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 tothe 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.

    We had a great time at this spot for our week long honeymoon. The views for our nightly sunset were always included and always amazing. We saw whales, turtles, and seals all from the small beach in front of us. The unit is stocked with everything that you’d need and is close to shopping. We would absolutely love to return and stay here again!

    Beautiful place on the water, easy parking off the main drag of Kihei Road. Whale watching on your ocean view lanai and every evening it’s the perfect place to catch the sunset.

    We booked this condo for its location and view and they did not disappoint! We loved it. The condo is comfortable with all amenities you might need. We knew from the other reviews that the furniture is dated, so it was not a surprise. The couch in the living room need to be replaced and the cabinets in the kitchen fixed. It also would be nice to have more shampoo and conditioner (sample size only was provided), some oil and at least start up coffee pods for the first morning after your arrival. Other than that our stay was wonderful. It's a lovely small condo building right on the snorkeling beach and few steps from sandy beach. We enjoyed watching turtles, whales and surfers from the balcony. The location is very central for Kihei. Loved our stay and would recommend it.

    We enjoyed this condo and its beautiful view of the ocean and stunning sunsets! Coffee in the morning on the lanai and a glass of wine in the evening was amazing! Very private and quiet location. The condo was spacious for the 2 of us and the king bed was so comfortable! We were able to walk to beaches, restaurants and Three’s for appetizers! Overall everything we were looking for!

    I’ve stayed at other rentals on the same street on previous trips to Maui and this one is by far my favorite. The property has amazing views and right on the water. Everything was clean and they provided beach chairs and umbrellas. You can snorkel right on the beach in front of the property and the Charlie young beach is only a 2 min walk from here and area is great for beginner surfers. Every amenities you can think of is also a 5 min walk away. Would definitely book this place again. The property management has great communication and we had no problems during our stay at all. If these condos offered other units with more bedrooms, I definitely recommend for a family. We stayed in one of their one bedroom condos.
