We have stayed in a dozen different condos in Wailea over 20 years. This was the best overall equipped amd although we were just 2 the furniture arrangement is much better than most for groups of 4. Also only one I remember with 4 beach chairs. Ice packs for cooler. Everything worked. As described no ocean view and Grand Champions no place on property with view. That is not criticism of condo which is described properly.

"On June 7, 2024, we booked a condo at Grand Champions Resort, Maui for June 10-16. On arrival, we found extensive construction, including a crane and roofing materials blocking access to our unit. Caution tape blocked the path, and notices prohibited use of the lanais. We were not informed beforehand. Our host emailed us on our arrival day, saying she forgot the project. Yet the notices stated it began May 30 and would continue thru July 8. Her email seemed deceptive.
Our host said if we chose to find other lodging, she’d only charge us for the days we stayed. That meant wasting vacation time finding another place or putting up with conditions in hers. We felt her offer was inadequate, but didn’t want to risk more of our short vacation.
Workers began at 7:30 am, making noise, dropping trash, and using the lanai as a work area. We had to close the lanai doors and curtains for privacy. The interior was dark and lacked air circulation since the bedroom A/C was weak and the living room fan was broken.
Our host dismissed these conditions, claiming that “most people visiting Maui aren’t inside their condos between 8 am – 4 pm!”
After check-out, we emailed our host expressing our disappointment. Since she admitted we didn’t have full use of our rental, we felt we deserved a discount.
She eventually agreed (in writing) to a small refund but framed it as a “payoff” for not writing a bad review. We had never mentioned a review. To date she has not sent the refund nor answered email.

We went to maui for a family reunion. With family all over the island we chose Wailea to stay because its so beautiful and wonderfully cared for. I truly enjoyed our stay at wailea living! It was a comfortable reprieve from all of our activities during the week. I especially loved that unit had some cooking spices and a washer and dryer in the unit. I will recommend!

The condo is beautiful, the beds and couch bed were all very comfortable. The furniture is all great quality. Extremely well equipped for all activities at the beach. The showers were incredible. The sunrise and sunset views from lani are breathtaking! The sounds and smells from the lanai are wonderful.
I have a few notes for those with families renting this for their stay. There is no plastic plates to take to pool, so make sure you have paper.
The doors to the bedrooms are slotted and so for parents, like my husband and I privacy from the children is nill.
Other than that it’s a 10/10!

Our stay was perfect - property was just as described! Quiet, easy drive everywhere, & super clean - we were very comfortable. Bonus things that we were super happy with: beach chairs and umbrella available for use as well as laundry and reserved parking. Surrounding area is beautiful. Do not hesitate to book your stay with Jessica! It was well worth the money.

The unit is in a great location in the complex, right on the golf course, with a peek view of the ocean and west Maui…. The sunsets are gorgeous. The place was also clean and bright, just as it looks in the pictures. And we made good use of the cooler and beach chairs that are available. We had a wonderful time and would love to come back!

We absolutely loved this place. It was clean, updated and in a great location with a beautiful view of the golf course and the ocean. We also had great communication with management. Highly recommend this property!

Definitely would stay again. We have stayed in a three different Grand Champions condos over the years and enjoyed all of them.
This is a second floor unit with a nice lanai facing away from the golf course. It was well-appointed, with A/C in every room.
My quibbles are that the sofa and chair cushions are getting a little tired and could use a replacement or deep clean and the fitted sheets on the master bed were coming loose every morning: they just were not quite the right size. No big deal.
Property management seemed professional. Access was easy. Grand Champions is a nice environment.

We had an enjoyable stay at this property. Overall the condo was great! The location was easy to walk to the Shops at Wailea and the pool was just across the street. The roof replacement unexpectedly happened our last day and a half so we lost time outside which was a bummer but not the fault of the property owner. Ralph was extremely responsive when I couldn’t find linens after 24 hours of travel and was kind. We would love to stay at this property in the future. Great location!

I didn’t rate communication with property management because I never had a reason to do so. Place was quiet, adult pool was nice and view on golf course terrific. Only negative, and this is minor, a/c was window units.

We stayed here in July 2024 as a family of 4 and had a great time. The picture and listing photos are 100% accurate. The unit stays very cool with a great cross breeze from the front screen door to the lanai (or you can use the 3 AC units). The kitchen had many of the essentials (and many extras) stocked - made things so much more convenient! Of note, the unit contained a high quality beach umbrella and 4 beach chairs - great when you are a family of 4. Owner was super helpful and accommodating when the airline changed flight dates on us unexpectedly.
We'll certainly look to book this great property again!

We recently stayed at this small condo and found it to be a pleasant experience. The location was excellent, offering easy access to nearby attractions and amenities. The condo itself was clean and well-maintained, providing a comfortable space for our stay. Although compact, it had all the essentials we needed. We especially appreciated the cleanliness and the overall upkeep of the property. It was a good choice for our trip, and we would consider staying here again in the future.

Our family has travelled to Maui several time and have had the opportunity to stay in various parts of the island including; Wailuku, Kaanapali, Kihei and Wailea. We have all agreed that Wailea has been our favorite location on the island given its beautiful beaches and amenities. The condo location is excellent as it is within walking distance to the Shops of Wailea, restaurants etc and a short drive to the beaches. We found the condo to be extremely quiet and felt very safe in this location. The lanai has an incredible view of the golf course and ocean. Aside from minor cosmetic issues in the condo i.e. carpet loose and buckling with intermittent stains and blinds have areas that are ripped, the condo itself was very clean without any concern. We did greatly appreciate the beach chairs and towels, however would suggest a few more amenities that would be targeted towards families, such as beach toys etc., noting as well that there is a rental facility within walking distance. The management team was exceptional from the beginning to the end of our stay and was always easily reachable for any questions or concerns we may have had before, during and after our stay. We did not have any concerns during our time at this condo and would all agree this was our best stay in Maui and would not hesitate to re-book in the future!

Property was as advertised and the hosts were great. Stayed with family and friend of daughters. Condo had everything we needed including all the beach stuff we would need - umbrella, boogie boards, snorkeling gear, towels etc. It's not really a walk to the beach, but there were plenty of beaches nearby and all had plenty of parking (plus we wanted to hit beaches all over the island). Shops and restaurants very close. Hosts were very quick to respond whenever we reached out (we didn't have any issues, just questions). Would definitely stay again!

Thus is a fantastic property, right on the golf course and with a lovely ocean view from the patio. It is tastefully decorated, immaculately clean, and has everything you need. There is even a guest bathroom in addition to the one in the master suite. See if you can find that in a hotel!

Nicely updated Condo with great view of the 1st hole green. One of the few updated condos in the complex. A well stocked kitchen with all the amenities. West facing Condo. Easy walk to the Shops, market and the Golf course (Blue) at the Wailea. We had a great time and definitely will be back.

The view from the balcony is spectacular! We were pleasantly surprised with an amazing fireworks show from the balcony on July 4th and enjoyed our coffee there every morning. The condo is nicely decorated and comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked with all that is needed to prepare meals. The location overlooking the pool was a plus for use with our grandchildren and outdoor grilling. During our stay we had a drain issue in the front shower. The management company was able to correct the issue within an hour of our call. Great location for our amazing vacation!

This is a very decent condo with good views of the golf course. Clean and well equipped kitchen and baths. No beach, two small pools. Could add a dish rack and napkins to supplies. A/C works very well. Quiet. Carpet needs replacing. All in all, quite satisfactory unless you want a beach.

This top floor unit had a great view of the golf course and very nice interior layout with the master bedroom, kitchen, 2 bath, and living area. We enjoyed being inside of the Grand Champions top floor unit and we also went out on the balcony at Sunrise to drink coffee and see the golfers playing through. This location is very relaxing and convenient as you can easily walk down the hill to reach the Shops of Wailea and Island Gourmet market.
We had some preliminary questions on our check-in day and the Vacasa support center was very responsive and helpful via the text messaging function.
Wailea-Makena is a special place and staying at the Grand Champions gives you a very central location to explore all of Wailea’s
five star properties and beaches (Andaz,
Four Seasons, Fairmont, Grand Wailea, etc).

The condo is very comfortable and well fit out for our needs. Somehow on the listing it says Beach access beachfront which is not accurate however it is very easy to drive down to the beach once you get your bearings. Property is beautiful very well-maintained. The condo right across from Pool and hot tub, trash, recycle, etc. very convenient. Definitely enjoyed our stay was just a bit misled on the beach access beachfront part. Spent a day playing pickle ball which was a ton of fun everybody was very friendly:))

Overall, the 3 bedrooms, 2 baths worked well for us. We were happy with the location as it was very close to Ulua and Keawakapu Beaches for snorkeling, shopping, and for pleasant walks in the area. The condo was tidy, but not as clean as we would have liked. It could have used more attention to detail. Fortunately, for the issues we had, the resident condo manager was responsive and helpful. We appreciated the communication with the owners prior to our trip and all the contact information they provided to address our needs once we arrived.
