As I sit here in Puamelia Place, listening to the sound of birds chirping and waves breaking, pondering how to describe this place, the phrase that keeps popping up is… What a Sweet Spot…

“Sweet Spot”

• the point or area on a bat, club, or racket at which it makes most effective contact with the ball.
• an optimum point or combination of factors or qualities

A prestigious address: 24 Puamelia Place #3, Lahaina, Maui 96761 USA

Yes, 24-3 has an optimum combination of qualities:

• Located on quiet Puamelia Place which is like a driveway running parallel to the ocean with no through traffic.
• Near the beach access, mauka (mountain) side of Puamelia drive, otherwise you’d add a million dollars plus onto the price.
• The peaceful gardens behind the expansive back patio is a no-man’s land in Puamana so it feels like your own private backyard.

• Located in the highly desirable Puamana complex, a private, gated community on 30 oceanfront acres.
• Puamana is vacation rentable; you don’t even need to apply for a permit.
• This home is fully furnished with linens and fully-equipped kitchen, washer dryer, and a serious gas BBQ… even a roll-out couch for friends and family.
• Easy stroll to the surf spot carrying your board (75 steps, I just counted).

You can go left, or you can go right… so many choices

• Puamana is near Lahaina, the top choice for Hawaiian Royalty, Whalers and Rock Stars.
