New! The Aloha Cottage in Puamana, Maui Hawaii

This place was absolutely perfect for our family of five. The home was comfortable, beautifully decorated, spotless, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed. We especially appreciated the little extras, such as laundry detergent, plenty of towels, extra blankets and pillows, a fully equipped kitchen with every small appliance imaginable, and staples like cooking oil and spices.The primary bed was incredibly comfortable, and we loved waking up each morning to watch the butterflies and other wildlife right outside the bedroom. The beach, pools, views, and grounds were all stunning and exceeded our expectations.Communication with the host was prompt, friendly, and helpful throughout our stay. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to others.

The house itself is beautiful, comfortable, all accommodations you need for a great stay. My kids loved the provided toys and books. The property and location on the island is amazing. The 2 pools were great within the puamana complex and the ocean just a short walk for sunrise and sunset or to watch the surfers. The biggest con, and I feel like it’s was understated by previous reviewers, is the constant highway noise. The house is within 50 ft of a major highway, and it sadly just ruined our enjoyment of the lanai and outdoor space. The downstairs bedroom is quiet and insulated but you could hear the traffic noise all night upstairs in the loft. If you’re planning on being out exploring the island all day or use to city noise maybe this is the house for you but it was just so loud and distracting, we had a hard time even maintaining a conversation outdoors. It really put a damper on our whole trip, with little kids we had planned on spending a lot of time enjoying and relaxing in a beautiful place and we just didn’t get to experience that. We’d come back to the Puamana complex in a heartbeat though just much further from the road.

We had a wonderful stay at Aloha Cottage! Ryan was extremely communicative throughout the whole process. The house was equipped with everything we needed including toys and books for our toddler. The house was very clean, the ocean front pool was beautiful, and the location was very convenient. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a beautiful property in Lahaina!

Excellent quiet location in a HOA neighborhood, two pools one on the lake. Just beyond where the fires hit years ago as they’re just starting to rebuild, but this unit and that half of the neighborhood was spared. Nicely remodeled on the inside.

We had a great stay at Ryan’s place in Maui. The condo was very clean, the loft was awesome, and the pool being right on the beach next to the water was a huge bonus. The sunsets were beautiful every night — at least until the rain during our last couple of days.Ryan was very responsive. I had a question about the WiFi password and he replied quickly (even though I later realized it was already in a previous message). The location was perfect for what we wanted. You can hear some highway traffic, but it really wasn’t that bad and didn’t bother us much.Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back.

Welcoming host. Great location. Beautiful home.

Great communication with owner, Ryan! Very sweet neighbors in the area as well. Well maintained and had all the needed amenities. Wished we could have stayed longer!

Hosts responded promptly to all questions. Cottage is super convenient to Lahaina shops, restaurants. All was very clean and nicely appointed. Beds were super comfy. Wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy it more.

Very nice condo/villa! This is a perfect place to stay that is centrally located to just about everything on the island. All the amenities you need to feel like a home away from home. Nestled in a quiet gated community with local residents as well as travelers.The community is right on the coast with amazing views. If you’re looking for a place away from the tourist mecca hotel type accommodations, this is the ideal place the stay. Rent a car, stay in a quiet, affordable, and centrally located home, and enjoy this laid back island. We stayed in Honolulu for the 2nd half of our trip and the hotel atmosphere and hustle and bustle made us realize how nice this place was. I’d definitely stay here again.

Cottage was clean and well kept. Location is convenient to shopping, dining, and many beaches including a small beach just a short walk from the property. Stay was very enjoyable.

Loved our stay at the Aloha Cottage. Property was clean and neat. Kitchen was well stocked which made cooking for the kids easy. Loved the outdoor lanai. Great spot for families and kids. Easy close beach access, but also easy drive to stores and restaurants in Lahaina. Nearby beaches were also great. Would definitely stay again.

1st impression upon entering Aloha Cottage: this place is super cute! After sound sleep in the 4-poster bed, which had the most comfortable sleeping pillows we'd ever encountered away from home, we experienced the 1st sunrise on Maui, enhanced by presence of fragrant frangipani blossoms overhead and at our feet. Next thing to catch the eye were palms, banana plants, two porch swings, and an outside daybed. We spent a few early mornings exploring the property and the gated community within which it is situated, walking right up to the beach, swimming in the private pool, enjoying the lovely landscaping. Bed-bathroom suite is separate from 2nd bath downstairs, and upstairs,2nd bedroom with great views. Within the recently redecorated Aloha Cottage, there is no evidence of the tragic August 2023 Lahaina Wildfires, but a few hundred yards away from the property, it's apparent how hard this lovely beachfront gated neighborhood was hit. Cleanup had already taken place, so this evidence in no way detracted from our visit. In fact, the (quiet) rebuilding that is in progress around the neighborhood and surrounding town has us cheering Lahaina Strong, and imagining a return visit to this very same Aloha Cottage sometime in the future. The host provided a list of fun things and places to eat around Maui, and within Lahaina itself there is a conveniently located Safeway supermarket and ABC Stores for souvenirs and fun and useful things for yourself.
