The condo was well located and provided every thing needed for our stay - truly a home away from home. Thank you to Hope is an amazing liaison for the owners. Thank you for making our vacation amazing!
Always love staying at Grand Champions.
We stayed here for 6 days, check in was a breeze and Hope was very kind. Very close to restaurants, shops, beach and golf. I will definitely be coming back in the future!
We had a great 7 nights. The condo is well stocked, very clean, and very comfortable. Hope is a great property manager! We loved the welcome gift and the mid-trip treat left at our door. Would definitely stay here again.
Great rental unit on the Wailea Golf Club. Very quiet location yet close to shopping and restaurants. Unit is impeccably furnished, very well maintained and has everything you need for a perfect vacation.
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.
This would have been a more enjoyable stay if the roofers hadn't been working on the 2nd story roof the whole time. Their truck was parked in front of the unit during our whole stay and they started work at 8:00 a.m. each morning. The owner offered to let us cancel with no penalty but the staff thought the noise wouldn't be bad since we were in the bottom floor. This turned out to be wrong. At the time the offer was made, no offer was given to help us find another place so we decided to keep the reservation. I will never do that again! The host could have offered to give us a reduced price for the inconvenience but didn't.
We have stayed multiple times at Grand Champions, and this was one of our favorite condos. We enjoyed the central location close to so many places that we planned to visit. Even though the roofing project was going on during our stay, it was still the calm, peaceful haven which combines comfort and aloha spirit encouraging us to slow the pace and relax
Everything we needed to enjoy our stay was on property and very convenient. The property management was very friendly and helpful. We would definitely come back!
We booked 4 guests and then thought we would leave the kids at home or have them stay with my parents on the other side of the island. I was told we will settle on refunding the extra person fees after the stay.
During the stay, I’d communicated that for 5 of the 9 nights, we had our kiddos. They would not refund and completely accused us of lying! I am a short term and long term rental owner and was very insulted. The property owners and manager do not “assume positive intent” in any manner.
Here are the pros:
-Beautiful, spacious place
-Walking distance to Wailea shops
-Fully stocked with everything from beach toys, bags, even some sun screen
Cons:
-Ants and cockroaches inside the unit. While Raid and sprays were available, this is a bottom floor unit and we fought off bugs during our stay.
-Pool is anti fun! There are postings for no toys, no jumping, no playing, no, no, no! This place is definitely not meant for kids.
-Property manager stops by unannounced with a “gift.” Seemed very spy to me! I’ve never had this before in the 100’s of places I’ve stayed!
-Bugs in the unit
-no view of water and seemed like I was in Palm Springs, not Hawaii. Our fault for overlooking this
We much prefer staying on the Kaanapali side of the island where it is a lot more family friendly with amazing views for the same cost.
We won’t be staying at this unit or Grand Champions again and wouldn’t recommend it. We will however go back to Papakea again…for a 7th time!
Wonderful time and they didn't want to leave! Everything is supplied that you would need for a relaxing, enjoyable vacation.
We have been to Maui several times. Have to say that overall, this was best location. Close to the highway, good walking area. Unit itself was exactly as shown. Nice view of fairway. Very well stocked. Great customer service.
All very well maintained.
Everything was perfect. Location, supplies, communication (Hope was great), kitchen, bedrooms, TV, you could not ask for more. We will be returning for sure.
The vacation stay at this condo was mixed, we arrived late and had communication that the lights would be on for us, very nice, but when we arrived there was no lock box on the outside of the door. It took 3 phone calls and over an hour waiting outside before the property manager answered her phone. She was very prompt on driving over to open the condo. Who ever turned on the lights for us left the lock box and keys inside the condo. Hope was very good, she delivered wine, then a mixed drink and a new coffee grinder as the one in the condo did not work. She went out of her way to please.
The pools on this property are a bit too small for the number of people and during our week stay the hot tub at the adult pool stopped working.
We found the bed in the unit very uncomfortable. We prefer a bed that has support and not quite so soft.
Clean and well equipped. Convenient to walk or drive to the beach! Beautifully landscaped property with a nice back deck to the condo that overlooks the golf course.
Had a blast staying at Paul and Debbie’s wonderful home away from home. From the moment we crossed the threshold it was everything we could have hoped for and more. We have been longtime Maui visitors and are a big fan of the VRBO experience primarily for those personal touches like fully equipped kitchens, washer and dryer, and the small things you wouldn’t necessarily think of that bring the feeling of home with you on your trips. This unit did not disappoint whatsoever! It has everything you need to be comfortable and confident throughout the duration of your stay. There is access to movies, board games, beach gear, a fully equipped kitchen, and most importantly highly efficient air conditioning. Already looking forward to coming back again in the future. We found our perfect Maui hideaway! Thank you for the amazing hospitality and being top tier hosts!

Location was wonderful and the condo was immaculate. Hope, the property manager was excellent and checked in with us through our stay. We will be back when returning to Maui.

The owner details and updates the decor as needed. Lanai was clean and painted and nice furniture.

Condo was stocked with everything we needed for our stay, it was comfortable for 3 adults, and we’d love to come back next time we’re in Maui!
My daughter and I have had an amazing holiday. The unit overlooks the golf course which is actually very peaceful and offers lush palm trees and bushes of Hawaiian Hibiscus right by the Lanai. Minutes to shops on Wailea and Wailea beach. We snorkelled off the beach and saw turtles and lots of fish. The condo was absolutely beautiful, clean and peaceful. Mahalo!!

Our second stay at this terrific property! All the amenities you need and more! Located on the 3rd fairway of the blue course and close to the Wailea shopping, great restaurants and 5 minutes from the best beaches in Maui! The property host is terrific…Attention to detail that is perfect! Don’t stay too long, you won’t want to leave!
