My first stay in this condo has brought both myself and friends to return for multiple vacations in Maui. I have stayed for various lengths of time over the past four years during different seasons and have always felt relaxed able to really enjoy my vacation from the first opening of the front door. The decor, furniture, flat screen televisions, stereo and golf course and ocean view from the lanai allow for an amazingly comfortable stay in this condo. The master bedroom and bathroom are richly decorated and a great way to end sunny beach filled days with some pampering for yourself. This condo provided a convenient access to West Maui's awesome array of beaches, golf, shopping at Wailea and is very close to the ocean activities and shopping that Kiehi has to offer it's visitors. It's worth every penny for the choices in amenities that both the condo and complex offer it's visitors. The location is great and worth every sunset picture and memory you will make here. The owners and their bookings coordinator really want each visitor to have a comfortable stay and have arranged their Maui home to be accommodating to singles, couples or families. It is really easy to see their calendar of available dates online and to book with them. The owner and booking coordinator are very friendly and can offer great advice for activities, weddings, special events, restaurants and beaches to meet any vacationers needs. They have an excellent and friendly house keeper who resides on the island and helps maintain a high level of cleanliness and organization. I have, and will continue to recommend this condo as a place to stay for any of my friends or family headed for an escape to the beautiful island of Maui. I hope you enjoy your stay as much as I have each time! Aloha!

Owner response:We really look forward to ensuring that every renter enjoys staying at our condo. We are glad to hear that our advice on various activites and things to do in the area helped out! We appreciate the recommendation and look forward to hosting you again in the future! Mahalo! Monique & James

First time Maui visitor

We enjoyed staying at this condo very much. The complex is well run and owners and guests seem very respectful of others in terms of quiet times, BBQ use and facilities. The walk to the beach is very manageable if you are not carrying a lot of stuff - and the beaches near by are very beautiful (Ulua/Mokapu). We were 2 couples staying in this condo and we really appreciated the numeric key pad system for the front door - it made arrangements for the four of us very easy. I would recommend this unit. It is well represented in the description and photos. Thank you!

Aug 2011 Stay

Our family stayed here during our 25th Anniversary. We absolutely loved this condo, the ocean view, and the view of the western Maui mountains. Grand Champion is located in a perfect spot in Wailea and is extremely well landscaped. The kids used the pool several times and I used the gas grill at the pool three times during the week. We went scuba diving with Prodiver Maui at Molokini Crater and near Red Hill. We also did shore dives at Five Caves/Five Graves and at the southern point of Wailea Beach, renting equipment from Maui Dive Shop. We rented surf boards from Boss Frogs in Kihei and surfed on the western side of Maui and at Hookipa on the North shore. We went boogie boarding at Big Beach and returned sore and a little sun burnt, but had a great time. We drove the Hana highway and visited the Haleakala National Park at the Falls and at the summit. It was great to return to this condo each afternoon. The décor is gorgeous and having a flat screen TV in each room was an awesome benefit. WIFI worked great and the kitchen is very well equipped including many spices. The TempurPedic mattress in the master suite was a draw for us since we are have one at home. Everyone in our family LOVED this condo and would LOVE to return and experience more MAUI ALOHA.

Well Appointed Condo in a Great Location

This condo is the perfect vacation rental for a couple, family or as we were 2 couples travelling together. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms were a must for us and provided the needed privacy. It has all the extras talked about in previous reviews ,very comfortable and clean. A welcome basket greeted us when we arrived .What a pleasure and a definite cost saver not to go out and purchase condiments etc.These are not found with condos that are run by management companies. We do cook and the kitchen was well stocked, in fact we left some food etc for the next people arriving.. My brother and sister in law used the hot tub and pool in the complex daily. We sat out on the lani with a glass of wine ,watched the sun set and enjoyed the fresh breeze from the ocean. Jackie was wonderful in helping us secure the rental and all went according to plan. As it is in Wailea we could walk to the beach and local shops and dine out without driving. It met all our needs and more. We will be back! Thanks again for everything.

Very family friendly with sand toys for the kids, beach chairs, boogie boards....you name it they have it! Super clean! We found many extras in the cupboards....vinegar, olive oil, cooking spray, spices, mustard, mayo....LOTS! Check the fridge and cupboards before you go to the store. The pool area is nice, I believe there are 2 of them. Great place to stay and this unit is above and beyond what I had expected.

Owner response:Thank you for being our guests. We appreciate your comments and are very happy that our condo amenities were plentiful and we hope to be able to have you as guests again soon! Aloha, Monique & James

Home away from Home

We truly enjoyed our November 2010 stay in this wonderful condo. After many vacations to Maui and many condo rentals we found this to be the best equipped of any we have stayed in. We enjoyed cooking in the condo as well as barbecuing on the poolside grills....my husband said they were excellent barbecues and I will say that the food that came off them was excellent too. The only thing I found missing in the kitchen was a pair of kitchen shears....I understand they have now been ordered!! The view across the golf course and down to the sea was delightful....the photos are very accurate...both inside and out. While beginning to show it's age, especially in the kitchen, we found everything to be clean and in good working order....I really loved that blender that makes snow out of ice!! We appreciated that everything was very clean. It was a joy to work with Jackie during the planning and rental phase of our vacation. Her professionalism and friendliness is unsurpassed...the Peace family has a real gem in Jackie Walker! She was even able to tell me how many steps my 89 year Mom would have to climb to get to this second story unit. I would not hesitate to recommend this property to a friend or relative that was looking for condo accommodation on Maui and I would return here myself. Some of the things we particularly appreciated were: Not having to purchase usual household supplies (Toilet Tissue, dishwashing detergent, shampoo etc.) Air conditioning in all the rooms The excellent quality of all the bath and beach towels The comfortable beach chairs The huge shower in the Master ensuite The quietness of the condo both during the day and in the evenings A special pleasure for us was to see the Humpback whales. I knew we were very early in the season (Nov14-23) but we were very fortunate on two occassions. On Nov 15th we were having lunch at Buzz's Wharf and saw a whale breaching very close....then on Nov 22 we headed off to watch the surfers at Ho'okipa and were again treated to the wonderful sight of whales breaching and playing their way along the coast....I think we watched them for a good half hour..perhaps longer! Pure delight!! We loved our special Maui vacation and thank the Peace family for sharing their Maui home with us. I hope it will not be too long before we are able to return.

Wonderful Maui Vacation

My husband, mother, father and I ventured to Maui for 12 days. This was my dad's first time back in 65 years. (He was with the 4th Marine Division in the South Pacific for WWII.) We spent our last five nights at the condo and it was wonderful. All photos, reviews, "claims to fame" were right on target. It was spotless, contemporary, and centrally located to the Wailea area. I can readily recommend the condo to anyone!! It could not have been any nicer.

Our family stayed at the Grand Champions complex in May 2010 and had a great stay. The condo was exactly as advertised and well stocked with supplies for our stay. It was perfect for our family of 4. ( Beach towels, chairs, snorkelling equip. & toys all came in handy) The location is close to great shopping & beaches and we would definitely stay here again. Jackie was a great contact for booking ( very prompt & helpful ) We did not have time to check out the entire complex ( pool, etc. so can not comment on that) The beaches are too great to spend time at the pool anyways!

Owner response:Mahalo Kelly for choosing our condo for your trip. We are glad to hear that our condo supplies filled your needs and that you and your family had a great time! Please visit us again soon! Aloha from James, Monique and Jackie.

HERE IS A PASTED COMMENT FROM ANOTHER HAPPY GUEST--- Hi Jackie, I just want you to know what an awesome time we had in Maui !!!!! The Peace Family condo was absolutely perfect for the three of us. It gave my brother and his wife space and myself also. We had such a great time. It was so nice to meet you and your husband. It was quite a shock to get back to Alberta as it has had record low temperatures!!! We missed most of the snow storms and now it is warming up a bit. At least there will be snow for Christmas. Thanks Jackie once again and we will spread the word on both of your condo websites. Everthing was so so wonderful. Have a Merry Christmas! and a Prosperous New Year.

Our family really enjoyed our stay in your beautiful condo. It was close to all of the great beaches we enjoy, and we especially loved how quiet the complex was. We spent may nights at the pool, BBQ-ing and meeting people from all over. Your condo was clean and had many items that really came in handy. We appreciated the kitchen and the ability to eat in when we were too tired to go out after a long day of fun. The Tempurpedic Bed was awesome. We can't wait to return soon! Barb S. & Family

Owner response:Aloha Barb, We always enjoy hearing that our guests have enjoyed the condo to the fullest. Remember, repeat guests enjoy a discount. We are ready for you to return whenever you are ready! Mahalo!
