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.

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!

We had an amazing stay! The location couldn’t be better—just a short walk to the beach with easy access to the Eldorado cabana, which was fully stocked with towels, beach chairs, and everything we needed for the perfect beach day. The studio itself was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Communication with the host was excellent, and the check-in process was smooth and stress-free. Overall, we absolutely loved the place and can’t wait to stay here again on our next trip to Maui!

The condo at Grand Champions was a great home away from home for us for the past week. It was extremely comfortable and clean. The condo was in a very quiet location and the beds were so comfortable! There are no condos immediately behind you so it feels very private too! We loved listening to the birds in the ravine in the back. The condo had beach chairs, umbrellas and coolers that you could take to the beach too. It is also walking distance to lots of restaurants, shops, beaches and other amenities. We would stay here again. We were also very impressed with VIP Property Management. They were so helpful and responded to us quickly with any questions. Thank you!

Perfect condo and very nice location on Maui. Check-In was super easy. We got a lot of instructions and useful hints from the landlord in advance. We used the kitchen, which was perfectly equipped. Sitting on the lanai and enjoying the sunset was beautiful and relaxing and also the pool was super nice. Really nothing to complain, we can recommend the condo by 100%.

Great visit with my family to Maui. Condo was clean and close to great beaches, shops. Family of 5 was very comfortable. Told upon day of arrival that the AC system was out. Portable units were installed but main area struggled to stay cool. Rooms did ok with portable units. Didn't feel comfortable with crew being in the condo while we were out and didn't want to be inconvenienced with repairs while we were trying to relax.

Faye is very easy to communicate with and replies to questions nearly instantly. This is the third summer my partner and I have stayed in Faye’s condo and we can’t imagine a more perfect vacation. Thank you Faye!!!

The condo is super clean, really big, and was stocked with everything you need — way better than a hotel. The beds are crazy comfy, the kitchen has everything you could ever need, and there’s even a washer and dryer which was super helpful after beach days.The best part? The lanai has this awesome view of the golf course and trees. We ate breakfast out there every morning and watched the sunset at night. It was honestly so peaceful.The location is amazing too. You’re like 5 minutes from the beach, and right near places to eat and shop. Plus the pools and hot tubs at the complex were super nice — we used them almost every day.If you’re going to Maui and want a place that’s chill, comfy, and in a perfect spot, get this one. PMI Maui made everything easy too. I’d 100% stay here again — it made the trip feel so much more relaxing and fun.

Absolutely amazing stay! We picked this condo based on prior reviews and are so glad we did. Perfect communication from start to finish. So much to rave about here- some of our favorites were the quiet location- we enjoyed walking to shops and restaurants- and appreciated the book of suggestions- the shower had great pressure, the AC was great, everything we needed was there from washer and dryer, to kitchen essentials, to the comfy living areas!

We visit the Wailea area every year and decided to try the Grand Wailea condos. Very convenient location. Only downside is the air-conditioning unit is pretty loud. Couldn't hear the TV unless we turned it up pretty loud, but we don't go to the islands to watch TV : )We would rent again. Really enjoyed our stay.

Grand Champions is the perfect place to stay in Wailea…so close to everything walking or driving…shops, coffee, restaurants, ice cream, beaches! We loved the two pool/hot tub options and used one or both every day! The condo had a beautiful view of the ocean and overlooked one of the two pools. It wasn’t noisy at all to stay that close to the pool and we loved the quick walk. It’s a great space for a big family..two big bedrooms, two big bathrooms and a nice kitchen with everything you need. I would say the only thing that could maybe improve is that it needs a fresh coat of paint and maybe a little refresh on some of the furniture but honestly, you are in Maui, you are there for everything that’s outside the condo and the area was amazing! Also everything on the grounds..landscaping, pools, etc is very clean and kept up so nicely! We will definitely be back!!

Several kitchen appliances did not work well including dishwasher, microwave doesn’t rotate, sink is awkward(disposal on wrong side), and trash can lid falls off all the time. Air conditioner in bedroom ( twin beds) comes on when not turned on and air in master doesn’t put out much cool air. The place needs better working appliances and new air conditioners and blinds in twin bedroom.

This condo in Wailea was nothing short of exceptional—truly the perfect Maui getaway. From the moment we booked, the hosts Ron and Dana went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, setting the tone for the entire stay.The condo is immaculately clean, thoughtfully designed, and comfortable. We felt immediately at home. So many extras were included- even small toiletries and house slippers! The towels and bedding were luxurious. Also luggage racks and plenty of storage for clothing along with an iron and ironing board. The washer and dryer is very handy too. The two beach chairs, beach towels, and small coolers got a lot of use.The kitchen is fully stocked with everything needed for enjoying a meal, including some coffee pods we appreciated the first morning, and a few treats for snacking. The lanai was a favorite spot—perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or a drink at sunset, with views of golfers and a peek of the gorgeous ocean.Ron and Dana truly made this stay special. They were incredibly responsive, friendly, and full of thoughtful touches—like providing recommendations for local dining and activities and checking in to make sure everything was perfect. You can tell they genuinely care about creating an unforgettable experience.The location couldn’t be better—quiet, beautifully landscaped grounds just a short walk to Wailea’s stunning beaches. We will be back!

Wailea Grand Champions Condo was perfect location to stay near family gatherings and events while in Maui for Mom’s ashes to sea ceremony. The condo was clean, quiet, spacious and well worth the price. I enjoyed the privacy of the two rooms and the lanai. We would definitely choose this location again. Thank you!

The house had everything you can think of, the decor was fabulous, bed and accessories were of top quality. This house will be another reason to get back to Maui for another vacation. Must stay place if you are planning to visit Maui.

Good location. Room was not very clean. I found garbage behind the nightstand, carpet was clean but stained and in need of replacing. Bathroom was adequately cleaned. Extra amenities were nice, beach towels, snorkeling equipment, cooler, beach chairs. Pool areas were nice. Booklet with instructions is in need of replacement, I don’t think it has been updated since 2017.
