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.

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. Thanks for a terrific experience!

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.

The condo is definitely a 10! I have stayed at many rental properties and I even owned one, nothing compared to this property. The location is excellent, the amenities were outstanding, they thought of everything even portable magnifying mirrors. The host was very accommodating and responded almost immediately. We would definitely stay here again.

Unit was very clean and organized. Hosts Brian and Melissa were very communicative about the check-in process. The price is a fair deal compared to the insanely overpriced resorts in the surrounding areas. My wife and I will definitely be returning!

Our stay was amazing. Top-notch communications letting us know that there was issues with an air-conditioning unit leaking. The unit was very clean and well-maintained. It was only missing a few things like a coffee grinder that we bought and added to the unit and limited amount of towels for the bathroom use Other than that it was amazing and my family loved it.

The condo was perfect for my large family of six. It was very clean upon our arrival and it had everything we needed functionally. The view from the large deck was very nice. The host was very responsive via text the few times I reached out. The only hiccup was that the condo was mislabeled in the parking space so when we showed up late at night in the dark we couldn’t find it. The property needs to remedy the parking labelling.

The property exceeded my expectations, and experiences. Not only has the Hideaway been very thoughtfully designed, to make it a place of calm and comfort, but every extra detail has been considered, making it a real home that you want to retreat to at the end of the day, and maybe are to relaxed to leave in the mornings! Even a terrific charging station was provided. morning bird watching on the lanai and a view to the sea, across the greens are perfect. Exceptionally well thought out kitchen supplies, and bonus point for even having a microplane to grate ginger for the perfect end of day drink. The nearby pool is quiet and well maintained, the evenings are quiet and serene. This was an inspired environment to renew our Aloha spirit. Thanks to Ron & Dana for making it so easy, and communicating clearly and always promptly. We look forward to returning to this oasis.

The property was amazing! Where do I start…Wailea is the perfect neighborhood in Maui. Loved the nearby shops and restaurants. The views from the deck did not disappoint. The AC worked well, yay! Very spacey. Clean and well decorated as photographed. Easy check in and great communication with host. We spent a few days at the pool and many days trying out the more than 10 local beaches. 9 days was the perfect stay. Everything we needed in the kitchen to cook our own food. Bed was comfy. Would love to return Try the affordable Hula Show at the Kihei Food Oasis, snorkeling at Honolua Bay and the Sunrise Tour at Haleakalā National Park‼

We had a very comfortable stay at this condo in Wailea. The property is very beautiful and felt like home. Conveniently located close to the beach (about 5 minutes drive). Parking space is in front of the property (very convenient). There are plenty of restaurants and shops located within a walking distance from the property. We walked to Monkeypod one night, with our children (ages 7 and 10). It was a nice, easy walk. We loved that the property had laundry machines on site (located on the lanai). We used their beach chairs (4 available) and beach towels daily. Beds were very comfortable. The kids said they loved their room and beds. Kitchen was super convenient since we were traveling with kids. Fully loaded kitchen with all basic household items. We were able to make omelets, pancakes and tea daily. The pool was our favorite place. Never crowded, we had it to ourselves 90% of the time we went. Our children loved the kids pool and hot tub. Bathrooms and bbq grills conveniently located next to the pools. Chris was very easy to get in touch with and answered any questions we had. He was always quick to respond (via text). Very nice guy. Overall, great stay. No regrets. We came back very happy. Couldn't have picked a better place to stay.

The condo is very dated, the original baths and kitchen ( which was very worn down) and worst of all the very stained carpetWe love Grand Champions where we have stayed in seven different condos more than 10 times but this one was very disappointing

We have stayed here twice in the last 2 years. It’s very quiet, pool is quiet, love the golf course view. We walked down the to the beach walk every morning, beautiful 1 hour walk! Lots of room for our family of 5. Negative is there was no beach umbrella which kept a couple people from spending time at the beach.

I made the most of a bad situation but the kitchen is smelled of rotting wood. This was exacerbated by the poor air conditioning in the main living area. The owner and property manager were responsive and helpful but net-net I spent those nights isolated in the main bedroom away from the horrid smell. I wish the owner and property manager the best but they need to invest to make the necessary fixes.

We were in Maui for our nieces wedding. We got to stay the week and had a wonderful time. The accommodations and its location to the events were a big contributor to our experience! The place had all that you needed: pool, a short walk to the resorts and beaches! We overlooked a fairway on the golf course with a view of the marvelous sunsets! Thank you!

Overall, we were pleased with our Vrbo rental in Wailea which contributed to a very nice vacation in Maui. Here are a few details:The Good:Beach chairs and umbrella were in good condition and were used for our frequent visits to the beaches in Maui. Large beach towels were available for use on the beach. Great location in a very nice upscale area in Wailea with a parking stall close to the condo entry door. Quiet at night. 30 min drive to the airport (OGG).A few restaurants are within walking distance. Best ones include Monkeypod Kitchen in Wailea but be sure to make a reservation ahead of time.Refrigerator worked well keeping items cold and freezer helped us freeze our water bottles.Small Cooler on rollers with a handle was available for use at the beach. Ceiling fans worked well. Washer dryer funtioned well. Lanai outside the back door was very nice and quiet overlooking a very nice garden area and tennis courts in the distance.The Bad:Dishwasher broke and we were left without a dishwasher for the last couple days.Air conditioner failed in main room but was quickly fixed and was working later that day. Air conditioners are a bit noisy. Very poor lighting for mirror in bathroom. Stove light burned out. Very noisy bathroom fan.Occasional noise from floor above ceiling due to running feet.

Devin’s place had everything we could possibly need for our family getaway - right down to the diffuser attachment for the hair dryer I had forgotten at home! Truly, every detail was thought out, and everything was labeled very clearly as well. We’d love to stay here again sometime, or at any property managed by Devin :)

Overhead cabinets are too low and hit your head, oven never seems to come to true temperature nor brown food, poorly fitted mattress cover does not stay securely on bed and cause it to bunch up when you lay down, bed frame sticks out appox. 6 inches from mattress causing you to hit shin every time you get into bed,

Our stay in Maui was amazing! The apartment was spectacular—much better than in the photos. Everything was very clean, beautifully decorated, and felt even more spacious and comfortable than expected. The kitchen was fully equipped with all the essentials, the beds were super comfortable, and the bathroom amenities were a very nice touch. We also really appreciated the beach chairs and gear, which made our beach days so easy. Great location and a great stay

Property was just as described and communication was top notch. Faye made sure we had everything we needed and went way above and beyond in making our last day special. The master bed was super comfortable and everything was as clean as could be upon our arrival. This property will definitely be on our short list for our next trip to Maui. Book it, you won’t regret it!

Great location and amenities, hoping for early check-in and was communicated it may be a possibility but unsure, which was fine. Instead, cleaning crew was still in unit when we arrived and entered at check in, so we were asked to come back 30 minutes later. Otherwise everything was good. Nice proximity to Wailea Beach-saw turtles while swimming there.

I can’t say enough positive things about the rental, location and owner. Everything is represented accurately and is in perfect condition. The view from the deck is amazing and peaceful, we loved having coffee and wine while watching the palm trees sway by the ocean. We will be coming back. Clean, quiet, great location to restaurants and beach. Every thing you need for a perfect trip.

Great location in a quiet complex. Lots of space for a family to stretch out, and the kitchen was well stocked with enough pots and pans and such to cook up meals on demand. Several lanai's made for nice places to escape for morning coffee, an afternoon drink, or an evening dessert. Beds were comfy - with mattress toppers for us side sleepers!
