Great studio! We stayed 8 nights and enjoyed every minute! Great location. We were able to walk to some beaches and to the shopping center. Great coffee shop nearby as well! Also a 10 min drive to other beautiful beaches. Will stay again when we come back!

I have stayed at different condos in this complex. Always wonderful. I was coming for a sort stay and this studio fit my needs perfectly. Lovely bathroom with washer and dryer. Small kitchen area with just enough dishes and utensils. Lovely lanai. The king sized bed was very comfortable. Property manager was easy to contact. Would stay there again.

the aerator in the bathroom needs replacing it sprays water all over. Also and I realize the owner had no control over my 4 different neighbors two in apt 10 and two in apt 9. For some reason every evening between 7and9pm the renters of these apts felt the need to MOVE FURNUTURE AND WALK RAPIDLY BACK AND FORTH FROM ONE SIDE OF THEIR APPARTMENT TO THE OTHER SIDE. NOUMEROUS TIMES THROUOUGHT THE EVENING. Other than noise the studio was ok. If I ever go back to MAUI I will probably stay in a less costly abode on South Kihei Rd. All in all it was an ok stay and now I can say I stayed in the Wailea area of the island.

This is a very large and nice studio and includes all amenities required for a dream vacation.
It is designed in a Hawaiian style, with much taste and lots of space.
We felt great during our ten days stay.

Loved out stay! Great location, beautiful patio, lovely swimming pool and access to grills. All you really need for a happy trip to Maui. Very nice host. The kitchen was a bit on a miniature side hence this is a studio, but the grills by the pool compensated for it! Will be happy to rent agagin in the future!

Great location and accommodations included everything needed for a great vacation. Much more convenient than a hotel with fully equipped kitchen and guest parking available close to the studio apartment. Washer and dryer made it easy to travel light. Communication from host before and during stay was excellent.

Equipment and snorkel gear are available for use, although we didn't use them. BED - was ok but wasn't a mattress, a thick piece of foam. Top Mattress kept sliding off, had to fix it daily, "mattress" frayed & sheet kept coming off. A mattress cover would be helpful. Blankets barely covered the bed, barely hung over side. TV - smallest I have seen in any Hotel/VRBO. Had an issue with the signal when we first got there, took over an hour to fix. AC - great! LANAI - spacious, & enjoyable except for the 10 bug bites, the fan was on but didn't seem to help. Been to Maui a dozen times & never received bug bites. GAMES - no games, 1 cds, and books. TP/PT - 2 rolls of TP and 1 roll of PT are not enough for a 10-day stay. ELECTRICAL - The power strip next to the bed was old, and the light/phone plugged into it kept flickering. Unplugged it due to safety hazard. I brought a plug to use for my CPAP machine. KITCHENETT - smallest I have seen, no bowls larger than a cereal bowl. No baggies or Tupperware for use. Counterspace is small, difficult to prepare food and wash dishes. BATHRROM - Good, Shower hooks missing. noise level heard with the joining door was noisy at night. No parking at times, and space 9 was only used 1 day for the other unit, would have been nice to have been able to use that since my husband is on disability, although Mark wasn't aware of that. Communication with Mark was ok but he made us feel like we were being a nuisance when we reached out to him. Rating 2/5

Condo was well-equipped other than no stove/oven and the bed was so soft i sunk over a foot (yes, we measured) when sitting on it at 185 pounds. The suggestion was to put the full size futon on top of the king size bed. If the mattress gets replaced, this is a great location. Mark even let us check out late because we had a 5pm flight.

We stayed in this condo for 2 weeks. Communication with owner was good. It was great that the owner provided beach chairs and beach umbrellas for guests. The couch was extremely uncomfortable, as in rock hard, the wicker chairs on the patio and inside were very uncomfortable. The glass table outside wasn’t level and rocked back and forth while using it, made it inconvenient when placing beverages or food on the table. Bed was too soft, to the point of creating back aches.

The stay was amazing it is a nice compact place, but it has everything you need! Mark is a super great guy who helps with anything you need. Also you have a lot of amenities that are free to use which makes things very easy. Mark is also very understanding of your circumstances and helps out.

We had a great time at this condo. Located in the heart of Wailea, it has nearby access to lovely beaches (loved Ulua Beach), shopping, Kihei Town, and is centrally located on the island. Also, loved they supplied beach chairs, umbrellas, and a small cooler. Sleeping with the patio door open was lovely - woke up each day to the morning call of Hawaiian birds in the trees surrounding the patio.

The property is located next to the Wailea Tennis Center and thus conveniently located for me and my friend. Great value. Kitchenette is a bit small but workable. Will stay again.

We enjoyed our stay at the studio suite. It was very similar to being in a hotel room. Location was great and in walking distance to lots of amenities. Cozy space with some nice add-ons like snorkeling gear and beach chairs and a cooler. Would recommend this space for a solo or couple traveller. Thanks again!

Mark’s suite was perfect for us. One couple, with 10 other couples in other units in the complex.
The place was clean and tidy, with birds chirping off the lanai. Really nice to have snorkeling gear, boogie boards, and Tommy Bahama beach chairs provided.
Highly recommended. We’ll be back!

Overall this condo is a gem.
Can't beat the location. Lanai had a beautiful garden view. If you love golf and tennis this is for you. Kitchenette has everything you need. Just needs a declutter and deep cleaning.

Checking in was easy and the place was nice and spacious. Lots of bird noises when the sliding door was open leading to the deck, but there was a lot of trees so it was to be expected. Stay was very nice and comfortable. Only problem we had was finding the security guard so we could check in with him due to parking, he was never around. But we had no issues with parking either.

Communication from the owner, Mark, was excellent. The location was perfect. We had no issues with the condo and was convenient for an afternoon wedding in Wailea! Would definitely recommend this studio.

Check in and out process was smooth. The bedding and towels were lovely and the unit was spacious enough for two. The futon was hard, lumpy and basically unusable. The whole suite could have used a very thorough cleaning. The A/C worked well and the washer and dryer were great.

This property is a great location! Walking distance to Wailea Village! The unit was perfect for the two of us. Quiet and clean. The host is very responsive. Would definitely stay here again! Note: please be sure to review the check-in process as we overlooked details that caused confusion.

Great location, and property was as described. Good communication as well. The only thing that kept it from being perfect was the sliding patio door was hard to open. That isn’t enough to take away a star though. Thanks for a great stay!

Great condo for a couple or small party, with a beautiful outside deck. Great price for the location also. We where able to walk to anything we needed. Didn’t have to rent a car and the beach was only a short walk away.

The condo was very clean and well kept. The owner was extremely communicative and prompt. The location was beautiful and the rate was great considering the area that the unit is in (Wailea).
Would definitely stay here again and/or recommend this place.
Thanks Mark!

Location of the complex was good, but the unit was disappointing. Appliances were limited, no real cooking capability. Unit was dim and finding parking was a challenge. Hardly lived up to being "top ranked".
One of the large towels had blood stains on it. Gross... I took pictures as proof.

We enjoyed our stay in Mark's studio. The place was exactly as described. Nothing fancy, but clean and comfortable. Oversized balcony is amazing for morning coffee or "stay-in" dinner.
Very close to beaches (Wailea beach is 1.2 miles away, Makena is ~10 min drive). We would stay here again. Thanks!

Our stay at the condo was very nice. Unfortunately, we didn't spend a great deal of time in the condo as we were out exploring the island. The bed was very comfortable, the place was very clean and nicely furnished. Would definitely recommend.

This place is just perfect for a nice get away. Our first impression was that the bathroom is huge. Then you walk through the room and see the view of the gardens out the back patio and we knew we picked the right spot. A side note on that, if you sleep with the patio door open at night, expect to hear birds all night. That being said, we loved hanging out on the patio in the morning drinking our coffee and taking it all in. The bed is pretty comfy and definitely roomy. Plenty of places to loung around in the room. The owner has left beach towels, chairs, umbrella, cooler and semi functional snorkeling gear. This stuff really came in handy. The facility, resort, is well manicured and very quite. I didn’t use the pools but they looked nice from an outside perspective. There are several nice beaches, stores and restaurants within a short drive or walk. Overall the place is exceptional. If and when we go back to Maui, we would definitely consider staying here again. The only thing that may prevent us from doing so, is if we decided to stay on another side of the island. That being said, the quality and relaxation of this room may very well influence tat decision and bring us back

The property was beautiful! Two pools, and awesome tennis courts! Short walks to shops, dining and some of the best snorkeling beaches in Wailea! The condo was a pleasant surprise! CLEAN, bright and cheerful, with a nice peaceful lanai that gave you a peek into Hawaiian jungles.
A perfect fit for a couple who loves to live simply but functionally! Excellent price for what you get!!! Will stay again!!!
Thank you Mark!

Love the morning and evening birds. Sitting on the lanai with the feeling in tropical jungle. Feels very private. Room is well stocked for life on the beach. We will return.

A great studio in Wailea. Very clean and functional . Also very quiet and peaceful. The bed is super comfortable. We enjoyed sitting on the lanai. Next to the condo is a stream and natural area which the lanai overlooks, and there was a lot of birds to watch and listen to. A few mosquitoes on the lanai at sunset time. On the lanai the owner has snorkel gear, boogie boards, and folding chairs for beach use, which we appreciated. There is a small washer and dryer in the bath which worked great. Nice to have dry towels and bathing suits! Large bathroom and the shower works well. The kitchen has a full size fridge, coffee maker, microwave and a hot plate. We didn’t really cook at all, but made use of the fridge and coffee maker. The air conditioning works well. The complex has two nice pools with hot tubs. It is located on the golf course, and is about a 10-15 minute walk down hill to the Wailea beach walk and beaches. We mostly drove to the beach and parked because it would have been no fun walking back up the hill carrying chairs and boogie boards. There is a good public parking area next to Ulua beach which is a two minute drive from the condo, and has public bathrooms and shower right off the beach. If you like to snorkel, there are fabulous snorkeling spots within a 10-12 minute drive from the condo. There is a very good wine store within walking distance from the condo. You are very near all the great Wailea restaurants, I think the nearest large grocery stores are a short drive away in Kihei. The owner was very responsive. There is management on site who are helpful. If you are a golfer this place is heaven. It’s not beachfront but in Wailea to stay on the beach is very expensive. I’d stay there again.

Perfect for our needs as a base camp between Kihei restaurants and Makena beaches.
Clean, bright, and airy. Perfect location just off the end of the Piilani Highway, in a nice condo complex with two pool areas. The beach chairs and binoculars were a nice plus. Looking forward to the next time I get to book this condo!

This was our 3rd stay at the Grand Champions and I have to say this was our least favorite condo. In the pictures it looks very bright and clean, but in person it is very dark and somewhat dingy. The property at Grand Champions is amazing though, and the location is supreme in my opinion. We will definitely stay at these condos again, just not this one.

Beautiful and economical garden lanai with palm trees, blooming yellow and white plumeria, fushia pink bougainvillea, cute little geckos, singing birds, and much more. Lovely landscaping. Comfy king bed. Great location. Would definitely Recommend!

Our family of three stayed at the studio March 14-20, 2017. We were very happy with our rental. The condo was clean, had comfortable beds, plenty of towels, and all necessary kitchen appliances. The lanai was stunning with beautiful view of trees and flowers. We loved the nature and enjoyed the birds chirping every morning. The location was perfect- close to the beaches, shops and restaurants, however quite and private. We are hoping coming back for a longer stay. Thank you Mark!

To arrive there after an 11-1/2 hour flight and 2 hours waiting for a rental car, we were very happy to settle into this lovely studio. Because the owner did not thing that the place was 100% ready he refunded our cleaning fee. It was a great location with easy access to the highways, yet very quite with a tropical view.
Thanks Mark
