Wailea-Makena, Hawaii
This remodel was completed in November 2013.
This spacious, quiet, bright second floor studio unit has all you need for a Maui getaway, with a CA King bed, comfy armchair, a dry kitchenette to help you prepare breakfasts or a light meal, BBQ tools to take to the pool grills for preparing dinners, and a full bathroom. This second story corner/end unit condo has high vaulted ceilings and lots of light that creates a large, bright, and airy feel.
Enjoy your morning coffee on the beautiful lanai overlooking the tropical canyon consisting of palm trees (one of which my grandfather planted!) and flowers; all while listening to the song birds. Then head off to the nearby beach with provided beach chairs, umbrella, and cooler!
The award winning Grand Champions has 2 pools, poolside barbeques, Jacuzzis, as well as tennis and golf adjacent to the complex. Within a 10 minute walk or 2 minute drive you can be strolling 3 1/2 miles of beaches, swimming, snorkeling, or visiting shops and dining in fine restaurants. Nearby four and five star hotels offer boat rentals and other services as well.
We hope you will come and enjoy the tranquility of both Wailea and the Grand Champions.
Do note that this unit shares a wall and a locked door with the adjoining unit, much like hotel room suites. We do own the other unit as well and we do our best to ensure our guests are respectful of the fact there is a shared wall.
*Please note that our condo complex will be re-roofing our building in August 2024. This will only take place during business hours (M-F, 8-5), but there will be noise, and likely dust on the lanai, and a possibility workers may access the lanai. August is discounted, and I will ask anyone booking in August to acknowledge awareness of construction.*
Very nice place to stay.
This was a nice little studio with a mini fridge and a microwave in the middle of paradise! That's all we needed since we were out all day at the beaches and activities. We had a wonderful time and there were a lot of little extras like a case of small water bottles in the closet with chairs and an umbrella. There were utensils, plates and glasses that we just washed in the bathroom sink with the little bottle of soap that was there. There were beach towels and extra pillows that we didn't use because we brought our own. But it was nice that they had those things. It was a great deal and we were happy we stayed there instead of spending twice as much at a hotel down the street. The door was a little tricky to open the first time. We realize you just have to turn the key and push hard instead of trying to turn the knob to open it. There was great atmosphere on the balcony where we heard the birds chirping in the morning as we sat out there. We had a wonderful stay.
What I like about this property is surrounded by trees and give more privacy to the guests. However, guests parking was limited. I had hard time finding parking. The wall is very thin, I can hear the neighbors conversations or children screaming from another units. As soon as I checked into the unit and want to see the lanai but the sliding door was not working so I had to call the property management over to fix it. My most disappointment was no clean towels. Since my husband and I were there for five days stay and we were only given two very old and stinky towels. I emailed the owner and she explained to me that my stay was short therefore we only need two towels and one for us of us. People say you get what you paid for. I don't agreed, this place is not cheap but the amenities qualities are the worst so far for me. Will I recommend this place to others? I will not!
The condo I stayed in was very clean, as soon as I arrived (I was by myself) and the security guard helped me to find my way and he was very helpful as I arrived during the night. I cannot complain about anything as everything that was promised was given. Location is great!! And the best thing if the staff personnel.?Thank you so much to the manager staff who helped me when i needed help due to a personal issue I had. These things are the facts that makes me want to come back. I am happy I stayed there and I If I ever get back I will definitely choose them again!!
Location was great. Kitchen limitations as already noted by others. Rug needs updating .very reasonable price
Nice studio in great location that has a little more room than a standard hotel room offered at a good price. I would definitely stay here again!
it is a gorgeous little apartment in a chic condo park in upscale Wailea, the view from the balcony goes right into the jungle, the public swimming pools and hot tubs are amazing, to the beaches is about 5min drive and supermarkets 10-15min, we enjoyed ourselves very much hopefully coming back one day, thank you for providing such a opportunity
Location was fantastic, short drivevto many things we wanted to see and do. Beautiful property, well kept. Unit was clean and comfortable.
Everything was amazing! Rachel was amazing and very responsive. I had just gotten in from a 10 hour flight and asked her if the place was ready and if I could check in early (about 1230 HST). She got back to me quickly and said everything was ready! The lanai was great and had a feeling of seclusion. Beautiful sounds of the birds!
Very nice room, great price, beautiful.
It was such a pleasant experience, clean property, adequate amenities for our needs. We loved going out onto the porch and enjoying the sights and sounds. We couldn't see a long distance, but that was fine because it was very pretty flowers and trees, and the sounds of birds made it a very enjoyable experience! I would go out on the porch often when we were on the property. One minor item that isn't the host's fault at all - don't just rely on Google Maps when finding the location, and make sure to follow the host's instructions to get to the proper location! This was not a major issue, just wanted to give that caution to future guests to make the experience even better. We would absolutely go back to this location again!
This place was exactly what we were looking for! The location was perfect, quite and safe area. The walls were thin, but the neighbors were quite. Had everything we needed for the beach. Very clean studio apartment for the two of us. Also the balcony was lovely and mostly private to drink coffee and listen to the birds. Owner was also quick to respond to any questions. Would definitely stay here again!
Ok stay. Pool was always crowded. Surprised with the condo. Lots of dishes but no dishwasher. Had to wash dishes in the bathroom sink. Dorm sized fridge. Place was clean though.
The location of his condo was excellent, however the description was not accurate. The description in VRBO is that this is a studio condo when in reality it is a bedroom in a condo that has just been given an exterior door. Unit number 10 was originally a two bedroom condo. They bolted to the door of one of the bedrooms that has an attached bathroom and gave an exterior door so you were actually in the second bedroom of condo number 10 The kitchenette is a tiny fridge and microwave, but no sink so you have to do the dishes in the bathroom. You Have a shared lanai separated by a piece of latis and some plants. The description says you were renting unit number 10, but unit number 10 is next door. This unit doesn’t have a number. The people renting the actual number 10 get the number 10 parking spot, while you have to try to find a guest spot which is very difficult at night. Also, the wall between two unit has actually no soundproofing. It is so thin that you can hear everything the neighbors are saying with just normal conversation. This should not be rented as a condo, but has a bedroom in a condo.
Our room and the balcony were great! The whole complex is gorgeous, and the other guests, residents, and employees we met were wonderful! If you have the chance to stay here, you should do it!!
This property is located in the very pretty, manicured area of Wailea. It's about a 10-15 minute walk to get to a beach, but accessing the beaches can be challenging due to the water-front resorts often gating their properties and discouraging foot traffic. The shops at Wailea are nearby and offer groceries, restaurants and some souvenir or clothe shopping. The unit itself is comfortable and quiet. The king-sized bed was really nice, and the balcony is decent (although you share it with the neighbors) but 2 issues stand out: 1) there is a small kitchenette in the unit but no kitchen sink, so any dishes you use need to be washed in the bathroom sink; and 2) Maui is very humid, and not having access to a clothes dryer means that your swimsuit and towels will be damp or wet for your entire stay. The host mentions that if someone is not occupying the next-door suite the washer and dryer could possibly be available to use, but I doubt that occurs often (and it certainly wasn't the case while we were there). Besides those 2 small negatives, this Vrbo was very nice and I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. Thanks hosts!
When I first arrived I had to call the owner to figure out how to open the door, after talking with them they explained I had to put my shoulder into it and bash the door open. The first night I took a shower it was clogged and water continued to swallow my feet, the bathroom fan doesn't work so you can remove the hot steamy air to assist the AC with keeping the place cool. Thankfully I had a full day of no neighbors, but the other reviews of the walls being PAPER thin are VERY true. I could hear ever step, whispered word, and child tantrum happening next to me. If I had a do over I'd fork out the extra money to stay at a slightly nicer establishment.
A wonderful, serene and peaceful stay. We enjoyed sitting on the private lanai and hearing the birds. Thank you for sharing your comfortable hideaway.
