The condo and location were absolutely wonderful. We watched tropical birds in the garden from the lanai, walked to pretty beaches to see sunsets, walked to Happy Hour at close-by restaurants. The host was very responsive. The unit was very comfortable because of the ceiling fans and ACs. I can’t say enough good things about it.

Nice place, all the conveniences of home. I have stayed at several units at Grand Champions and this is my favorite. I will come back and stay in this unit.

We Maui often to visit family and have stayed in many different places on the island. This condo stands out for many reasons. It is as described - large, well-maintained and in one of the nicer parts of the island. It's in a very nice complex, near amenities and the beach. We were just two, but this unit could comfortably sleep another two on a futon in the large living room. The kitchen worked for breakfast and you could have prepared all meals as it is fully equipped. The owner/manager was great. In short, we'll rent again.

The condo was great for 2 of us. We didn’t cook but the kitchen appeared to be well stocked. The bathroom was spacious as was the bedroom. The balcony was great to sit outside and enjoy the greenery and birds.

Within easy walking distance of restaurants, shops, and with a swimming pool two minutes away, all at a good price compared to most condos in the area. And the owner/manager responds quickly to all inquiries.

This year was our fourth stay at this condo and it never fails. We tried other condos -good and not so good but we always come back to this one. There beds are very comfortable and for our family of three that doesn’t stay inside the house very often, this was the perfect place to stay. It is also great in the way that you are within walking distance of beaches, and shopping centres, with a variety of restaurants in the area. This condo is right in the middle of a beautiful golf course with tennis courts and pools nearby. The perfect ingredient for a perfect vacation!

Mark’s place was beautiful. Set back far from the parking lot, it was quiet with only the Myba birds making noise (very fun to hear!). The view of palm tree, plumeria, bouganveilla and other flowering shrubs from the lanai was gorgeous. The bed was very comfortable, the bathroom spacious and all very clean and well appointed. The coconut lamp in the bedroom was my favorite. There was hand soap, shampoo, hairdryers (3), dishwashing soap, plenty of towels and comfortable couch and futon couch in living room. We ate meals on the lanai, which was the only time we heard our neighbors at all. Did not use tvs, but there are 2 nice flat screen tvs. Kitchen has everything you need and also very clean! We walked to Ulua and Wailea Beaches, rode our rental bikes (Boss Frog’s in south Kihei-3.5 miles away) to Kameole Park Beaches I, II and III and had yummy fish tacos at Coconuts (2nd floor branch across from Kameole Park Beach I). Highly recommend Pita Paradise in Waile Gateway Center-lamb kabobs, hummus & grilled pita appetizer and baklava ice cream cake were terrific, as was the service and live music (acoustic guitar w/singer) on Sunday evening. Fun riding bike but wear helmet. Lots of tourists driving looking at the pretty flowers, not for bicyclists. Would give this place a 10/10 and planning on coming back in a year or two!!

I had a great experience staying here! I had no issues during my 6 night stay. The place was clean and the photos were accurate. I found this place to be quite spacious which was nice. It is a bit outdated but everything worked and we were usually outside anyway. The location was also convenient because it was within walking distance of things.

Although property is not on the beach, it is close to great Wailei beach. Many restaurants In the area. The unit itself is a bit outdated but everything is in good order and accommodating. The owner was helpful with our needs.

Clean and close to Wailea and ulua beach! I would drive so you can bring gear more easily, like chairs, coolers, and umbrellas. 4min drive vs 15 min walk, 45min-1hr walk at toddler pace. The place was exactly as described and shown in pictures. Would stay again! Thanks!

The locations and amenities are fine --- the major issue is the fact that the master bedroom is rented out as a separate unit and the walls are super thin within the same unit. The tenant staying there that weekend woke up our family on BOTH nights we were there. The first time was around 10pm, which wasn't too bad though our daughter had just fallen asleep, but the second night it was at 4AM in the morning. I had to knock on the adjoining master bedroom door to ask them to be quiet, which was terrible and awkward and kept us all awake for some time. DO NOT stay here until you are a night owl yourself. Furthermore, the pillows have seen better days and our bedroom door has slats (like for a closet door) and therefore did not block out light or sound from the living room (where our child was up at all hours due to the fact that the futon she was sleeping on was right against the master bedroom wall where the other tenant was staying).

The place looked clean and well maintained. The location is decent, but all the food places nearby are a bit expensive. But a 3-4 mile drive takes you to the best beaches and food places. It’s important to read the directions for finding the unit, and parking very carefully. Otherwise you can be lost in the property. The owner isn’t very prompt to replying to messages.

We really enjoyed our stay at the condo. It was really well located next to the shops and quick drive to many beaches. It is right next to the tennis club, where we played multiple days. The condo was well stocked with chairs, umbrella, and cooler for the beach. Has everything you need!

This property is exactly as advertised. Full kitchen, laundry machines on the lanai, parking right out front. It's about a 15 minute walk to the Wailea beach walk, although they no longer charge for parking at the shops there, which is a 2 minute drive. Highly recommend, would stay again!

What a sweet condo! We stayed for four nights and enjoyed them thoroughly. The unit was quiet and clean with a deck off that back opening to a bird infested ;-) tropical garden. We spent every morning, after a swim at Ulua Beach, drinking coffee and listening to the avian chatter. Totally pleased.

Loved the ability to walk to coffee shop, places to eat, places to shop and even a couple beaches. Great location. Condo has everything you need!!!

The spacious condo is clean and in an excellent neighbourhood. Backing onto a small ravine means it is cooler than many condos in the area.

Mark,
We enjoyed the stay overall. However, there was a problem with ants and the bed was super hard. You may want to consider getting a mattress topper and spraying for ants. In addition we were not pleased with the difficulty locking and unlocking the door. The water took extra long to get hot and there was no hand soap. It was very difficult to pull out the futon it was getting stuck and we felt uncomfortable like it was going to break. The trip was a success for my birthday and you have a convenient place near a lot of places. Thank you for your hospitality.

Our stay in your condo was great! Everything was so clean and tidy and so much space for just the two of us. The grounds of the condo property were beautiful and we loved that it was actually within walking distance of a lot of great spots (we walked to a lovely coffee shop just across the main thoroughfare everyday, actually). We had everything we needed and we only wished that we were staying the area longer.
Communication with the owner, Mark, was easy and very fast. It was nice staying in a place with such reliable assistance when needed. Would stay again!

This was our first experience with renting a private property and the entire experience was positive. The owner communications were very good on storm conditions and notification that some maintenance may be in progress. The location was excellent and met all of expectations. Would rent this property again.

Very convenient place with best beaches, shops in a walking distance. Condo well maintained with all necessities provided for a perfect stay. Plus bonus-amazing bird performance in the evening just from lanai. Sit back and relax.
Best vacation!

Booking was super-easy; the condo was great - just as described. Plenty of space for a family of 4 - 2 parents, a teen, and a tween. The location is awesome - several times we remarked how glad we were to be staying in Waliea as opposed to nearby Kihei. The beach walk/path from beach to beach and alongside the high-end resorts was great. Very easy access to all the beaches. Lorraine, the on-site contact/concierge was terrific - when we arrived in the first evening, the condo was open and waiting, with a nice note on the door and a box of Cara-macs!
March 2016
Staying at this condo was perfect! Location in Wailea made it easy to get around the area and the island in general. Within walking distance of the Shops at Wailea and the beach, unless you are carrying a bunch of things! We loved the fact they had beach chairs, towels, umbrellas, snorkel gear and boogie boards. That saved us a lot of money right there. Having a washer and dryer also was a bonus. The condo is easy to find, in a quiet location and parking right in front was helpful. When other people talked about the birds they can hear while sitting on the balcony, they weren't kidding! It was so relaxing and pleasant to have coffee in the morning and listen to nature's symphony! Condo stayed very cool with the fans that we hardly ran the AC. Condo is roomy and well appointed with full size appliances and fully stocked with dishes, cookware and storage containers. We've been to Maui four times now and this is probably our favorite location now. Ulua beach (closest beach) is one of the best on south side of Maui in our opinion. We saw whales from the shore and saw a sea turtle while snorkeling right off the shoreline. Would come back to this condo in a heartbeat!

We stayed at Mark's condo for 11 nights in February 2016. The comments and feedback provided other renters are accurate - not much to add. The condo is in great location, was clean when we arrived, has lots of reference material and tips for the first time travellers. Mark was very helpful in answering all my questions during the reservation process and after. We will not hesitate to come back again and or recommend this place to our friends. Thank you Mark.

My wife and I stayed at this Grand Champions Villas condo for three weeks, enjoying its excellent amenities. While we were here, we also met the owners, Mark and Kathy, who assisted us directly when a few ‘technical’ television/internet/phone glitches occurred early on in our stay. These issues were dealt with quickly and to our full satisfaction. This condo is nestled in a very quiet area of the villas, backing onto tropical vegetation, which gives this unit shade, and the abundant foliage is home to many wonderful song birds. Each day, at dawn & dusk, the birds give quite a performance! This is an excellent location, and condo! This condo is a very practical unit for a longer stay. It is roomy, homey, & has a collection of DVDs, paperbacks, beach towels, and beach equipment for the renter’s use. The king size bed is extremely comfortable. The full size washer dryer is handy, in a closet on the lanai. Access into the condo is very convenient as the assigned parking spot is directly in front of this building, and there are and no stairs at all, to enter this unit. This particular condo has a local contact person (Lorraine) who can be telephoned regarding any concerns, and she is prompt and helpful.
We are impressed with the Grand Champions Villas complex and its location, which is tucked in a quiet area of Wailea, away from any road noise, yet, with easy access to a highway bypass, for easy driving to other parts of Maui. The Grand Champions Villas have a security guard on the premises at night, and well lit pathways. We so enjoyed the Grand Champions complex, and this particular condo unit, that we have already booked to return next winter!

We decided to book a condo instead of our usual hotel for vacation. I was excited about being able to cook for my family and being in a more home like environment. I was also a little nervous not knowing what to expect. Let me just say, I can't imagine a vacation being any better! From the moment we pulled into the complex until the day we pulled out. The condo was very open and spacious. My family of four was very comfortable. Mark has thought of everything. All the necessities but in no way cluttered. We can't wait to go back!!
December 2015
We spent a week at Mark's condo at Grand Champions. Maui was our third stop for our Hawaiian vacation, having spent a week in a condo on Kauai and a week on the Big Island with friends. We were glad we saved Maui for last as it was our favorite island. Mark's condo was such a wonderful place to call "home". It was well furnished; very clean; the bathroom was quite large with both a separate shower and tub; the kitchen was well appointed with everything needed for cooking/eating and the bed was so comfy. The pictures posted don't really depict how large the unit is. We were so pleasantly surprised how much space we had! We also had access to beach and lounge chairs and water sports equipment.
The grounds are very well kept and the complex is quiet. We enjoyed sitting out on the lanai having a drink or breakfast and listening to the birds. In terms of value and "bang for the buck", this condo is A1. We can't imagine anyone preferring a hotel stay over this type of living. We highly, highly recommend Mark's condo and hope to visit again sometime.

Our family enjoyed the 6-night stay at Mark's condo very much. The bedroom and living room are spacious and neat. The kitchen is also nice and clean with almost everything we need. It just feels like home esp. for our 2 boys. The convenient location (close to shopping mall and the Wailea beach) and beautiful surroundings are great pluses. Comparing to staying at hotel it provides us tremendous flexibility for our everyday schedule. The overall experience is better than what we had expected.

My wife and I stayed at Mark's condo for 4 nights at the end of October. The place was tidy and well stocked with essentials like pots and pans, beach chairs, towels, snorkeling equipment and DEFOG solution! We especially appreciated the large refrigerator, which allowed us to stock up on food from Costco. One tip: the new Island Gourmet in the neighboring Shops at Wailea had quite reasonable groceries despite being next to Prada and LV.
