5 Puakukui Pl, 5-2 Lahaina, Maui 96761

Nestled just a 30-second walk from the beach, surf breaks and oceanfront pool, this rare opportunity in Puamana offers the chance to create a brand-new coastal retreat in one of West Maui’s most beloved oceanfront communities. The property previously hosted a legal 3-bedroom, 3-bath vacation-rental townhome, and approved plans have been submitted to rebuild the residence with the same 3BD/3BA configuration, preserving its legal short-term rental status with no additional rooms. The Association expects County permits shortly and plans to move forward with the construction of the new exterior shell, which is included in the purchase price. Once the shell is completed by the Association, the buyer will finish the interior from the studs in, allowing for full customization of finishes, layout details, and design–an increasingly rare opportunity in Puamana. A local Puamana contractor estimates interior build-out costs at approximately $250—$300 per square foot, plus furnishings. The approved floor plan is identical to Unit 111-2 (approx. 1,536 sq ft), a highly regarded layout featuring an open-concept living and dining area, a ground-floor bedroom and bath, and two upstairs en-suite bedrooms–designed for comfort, privacy, and effortless island living. The residence enjoys close proximity to the community pools, beach access, and the ocean lifestyle that defines Puamana. As the community thoughtfully rebuilds following the August 2023 fires, this offering represents a unique moment in time: the ability to secure a prime Puamana location, benefit from a brand-new exterior structure, and create a personalized interior vision–all within an established oceanfront resort community. An exceptional opportunity to invest in the next chapter of Puamana and build a future home that reflects the best of Maui living.
