The following executive summary is based on a comprehensive and impartial AI analysis of guest reviews. Keep in mind that all units are individually owned, and review scores among units can vary considerably.
Grand Champions Villas delivers a relaxed, residential Wailea experience with a prime location and resort-like grounds. Guests consistently praise the quiet, well‑kept complex set along the Wailea Blue Golf Course, many units with sunset and partial‑ocean views from the lanai. It’s an easy walk to The Shops at Wailea, Akamai Coffee, restaurants, and the coastal beach path; most beaches are a short drive and walkable for some (expect 15–25 minutes and hills). Two pools (one designated quiet/adult) and hot tubs, lush landscaping, and generally smooth, code-based check‑ins add to the low‑stress vibe, and many travelers return year after year, citing strong value versus beachfront hotels.
Inside, most condos are spacious, comfortable, and well equipped for longer stays: full kitchens (often well stocked for simple cooking), in‑unit laundry, reliable Wi‑Fi, and handy beach gear (chairs, towels, umbrellas, coolers, boogie boards). Many units have been nicely updated with modern baths and comfortable beds; others are simpler but still clean and functional. Families, couples, and golfers especially appreciate the space, quiet setting, and easy access to Wailea’s courses, shops, and beaches.
As with any individually owned condo resort, quality varies by unit. Recurring themes to note: some condos feel dated (carpets, furniture, or older TVs), and a few guests reported housekeeping oversights or minor maintenance issues that were typically resolved quickly. Window/wall A/C is common, can be loud, and occasionally runs on a 4‑hour timer; not every room has A/C. The pools are smaller and can feel busy at times, and you may hear early landscaping, nearby pickleball/tennis, or upstairs footsteps. Views aren’t guaranteed, some units require stairs (no elevators), and a handful of reviews mentioned ants or roaches—generally isolated but worth keeping food sealed. Tip: choose a recently updated unit in the photos, confirm A/C setup, stairs, and bed configuration, expect a short drive to the beach, and bring or buy cooking condiments and extra toiletries.

Great vacation and a great condo for the whole family. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Wailea. The house had beach chairs and umbrellas as well as a bassinet for our little girl. I would highly recommend staying here!

This well appointed unit was updated, clean and organized. I especially appreciated that the towels and sheets were new and clean. The views from the lanai made outdoor dining a pleasure. Questions about parking were answered quickly and resolved easily. I would definitely stay in this unit again.

We absolutely loved our stay at this condo. It was exactly as pictured! The space was clean, spacious, and even had a beautiful ocean view from the balcony. The condo is located in a quiet, well-maintained community with friendly staff and an entrance attendant who ensured that only guests belonged on the property. I felt very safe throughout our stay.We had six people in total and never felt cramped. There were plenty of areas to relax and hang out. The A/C worked perfectly and was a lifesaver after our walks to the beach in the humid weather. The kitchen was well-equipped, allowing us to cook most of our meals at the condo. The location was fantastic, within walking distance or a short drive to the beaches, coffee shops, and restaurants.If I ever visit Wailea again, I would definitely love to stay here again. My only two small suggestions would be to include a few extra blankets in the bedrooms and some cozy throws for movie nights, as the A/C can make the rooms a bit chilly even on the higher settings. Also, the rain-style shower heads, while beautiful, made it a little tricky to wash hair efficiently since the water stream is more dispersed. Not a big deal, just a personal preference.None of these minor things would stop me from giving a full 5-star rating. The property management team was incredibly kind and communicative. We even left a few items behind and they made it easy for us to pick them up later that day.Highly recommend this condo for anyone visiting Wa

This is a very nice condo conveniently located by many shops and restaurants. There are plenty of walking choices to get your morning excercise, two walk-in showers, top corner unit with two AC units. Also very quite!

The property is in a really great location, about a 16-minute walk to the shops of Wailea and is part of a neighborhood of 2-story apartments/condos. The area also feels very safe. The room itself was a little dirtier than expected; there were stains on the carpet and the sheets.There was snorkeling and beach equipment in the closest, which I thought was cool! I didn’t get a chance to use it, but still. The balcony facing the trees was also a very nice place to have breakfast! Bathroom was large and clean. Check-in was a little rough due to an error on my part and not submitting the form needed for the access code well enough in advance, but I also didn’t realize the hosts weren’t local, so due to the time difference, communication at certain times of the day can be difficult. This is not an issue, just something to be aware of!

This unit is in a great location, and offers a lot of value for that location. It was spacious and clean. My only complaint is that it uses two box units for air conditioning (1 in bedroom, 1 in living room), and both units are quite noisy. Would highly recommend ear plugs if you do stay here! Rentals Maui was very easy to work with, and they helped me modify my reservation when I needed to stay an additional night. Overall a great place for a great price!

I've stayed at several units at Grand Champions over the years. It's a quiet and convenient property with 2 small pools and close to shopping, restaurants, and beaches.I've stayed at other properties in Wailea including a couple on the beach but this is my favorite.There were two small code glitches with this unit. I received a message that the unit was available for check-in several minutes before 4pm. We were 5 minutes away at the Shops. When I tried the code a few minutes before 4, it wouldn't work. It finally worked after 4 pm, so I must assume it's on a timer. Also, the gate code for the pools was incorrect in the information provided. Someone had opened the gate for me when I entered. I was alone when leaving but you need a code to get in AND get out. I was trapped without a code. Luckily, a couple arrived while I was determining a course of action and let me out and gave me the correct code. Codes should probably be confirmed.The unit itself was as advertised and pretty clean, which is not always the case in Maui with high turnover and little time between guests for a good cleaning. Beds were comfortable. Air-conditioning excellent. The sound on the TV had issues but a soundbar corrected that. I have not found a rental unit that has sharp knives and this one is no different. I always bring a kitchen knife to use if doing much cooking. The unit is very quiet. It is on the top floor up 2 flights of stairs which could be a problem if you have heavy suitcases.

The Condo was perfect for our needs, the kitchen was very useful as we had family staying in a nearby resort, and we were able to host them for dinners. The only area that could use some improvement would be the cleanliness. Most kitchen cabinet handles felt dirty, items behind the toilet in the bathroom were covered in dust, and the Lanai seemed dirty, but I understand that being outside, it is more difficult to keep clean. Mahalo, Ralph and Janice, for a convenient, and relaxing place to stay.

The condo is beautiful and looks exactly like the pictures. Everything was clean and spotless during our stay. The location and convenience to the beach’s and shopping centers is excellent. We stayed August 31st to September 7th. The condo is well equipped with everything you need if you’re interested in cooking. During our stay we managed to enjoy multiple beaches along the coast. We found multiple beach chairs and umbrellas to use which made us feel better because of the strong Hawaiian sun. The location is excellent. Across from the community is a shopping center with coffee shops and stores to explore. Further down the road is Wailea’s boujee shopping center with luxurious shops. We often stopped at the wailea shops because of it convenient market with access to sandwiches and snacks during our stay. We enjoyed the lanai overlooking the golf course and our ability to view the ocean in the morning. The community is organized and well manicured. I would recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in Maui. You will enjoy it cleanliness and convenience on the island.

We had a great stay! The condo was clean and has an amazing ocean view. stocked with everything you need for the beach (towels, chairs, umbrellas, beach cooler, snorkel equipment), boogie boards) and kitchen had everything you would need. We had one minor maintenance issue (blind wouldn't close) and a maintenance person came by within an hour to fix. Would stay here again!!!

Overall we enjoyed our stay. The condo was plenty big for 2 couples and the place was clean. We had a small problem with one of the toilets. Management was very responsive and fixed it the same day. It was nice to have the washer and dryer available. Some beach equipment was provided. The unit is also next to the quiet pool, which was convenient for us. On the other hand we could hear the pool being cleaned early in the morning (grounds and amenities are well kept). The AC units worked well but are louder than what I would consider white noise. We decided not to use them at night but instead had windows open (they all have screens) and fans on. The kitchen was stocked with utensils and cookware but only had a shaker of salt and pepper as far as spices/pantry stuff. A little sugar (for morning coffee) would have been greatly appreciated. My husband said the TVs were outdated. The apps were slow to load and streaming was slow and choppy. I found the water pressure in the showers too strong but had no way to lower. As far as proximity to beaches, it’s not a close walk if you are carrying beach equipement, but if you have a car, there are several beaches nearby. We stayed a week and went to a different beach everyday, driving no more than 5 to 15 minutes. A posh mall is within walking distance but you’ll want to drive to get to a grocery store (nearest is 10-15 min away by car).

We had such a great stay at this condo! It was spacious, comfortable, and stocked with everything we could possibly need—from snacks and toiletries to beach gear. The pool area was lovely, with ocean and golf course views but still felt private thanks to the lush foliage. We also loved the view of the golf course and mountains right from the condo. The AC kept everything nice and cool, and shops were just a short drive away. We’d definitely stay again!

Wonderful property and close to a host of fabulous amenities in both Wailea and Kehei. Condo was perfect for our family of 4, and we never had one issue with the property for the 10 days we stayed. Property Mgmt was prompt to answer any questions I had and were super flexible on our last day, prior to departure. Would highly recommend and would love to visit this property again in the near future! Family was very happy with the stay and can’t wait to return to our favorite island.

My husband and I had an amazing time staying at this condo. We walked every morning from the condo down to the water to walk the path in front of the resorts and enjoyed watching the turtles. We watched many beautiful sunsets from the lanai and enjoyed spending time at the pool (quiet and relaxing). The location was convenient to great beaches, restaurants and shopping. Jackie was also very helpful w/ check-in, suggestions and recommendations during our stay and was very prompt w/ communication. We bbq’d at the pool and cooked in the kitchen and found it to be well equipped. We hope to stay at this property again. Mahalo!The only suggestion that my husband and I can think of…the AC unit in the bedroom was noisy periodically during the night (when turned off and not in use) it may have had something to do w/ the wind w/ the portion of the unit that is outside, on the exterior of the condo. It would be worth checking into.

Everything was as pictured! Very spacious and located in a very quiet area. It was also still close to a grocery store and lots of food options. Beach was definitely a bit of a walk at 25 minutes but very close driving distance. My only complaint is the second bathroom shower head did not have good pressure. But thats a super minor complaint! Otherwise loved the place and loved the gift basket they left us!

Lovely and spacious 3-bedroom unit. Owner is super reponsive and helpful. I arrived in Maui with an unfortunate combo of migraine and UTI, she helped gain me access to the place sooner so I could rest and overall made sure we had everything we needed. Place is well appointed, has a secret garden feel to it. Lovely landscaping and views. Would prefer higher quality outdoor furniture that fit the space better, but overall place is perfect for a busy family and I would stay here again!

We missed that the unit was on the 3rd floor with only stairs. The Hawaiian coffee was a treat, but the coffee maker had the wrong filters. A box of tissue in each bathroom would have been a welcome amenity. The size of the unit was terrific! Lots of space and private sleeping areas. The neighborhood was very peaceful and relaxing. Aloha.
