"Hi Richard, Your place surpassed our expectations! The layout is really open and spacious with lots of light. Very neat and clean. We enjoyed the extra little touches. Beach equipment and kitchen appliances made it fell like home. We appreciated all your help by email prior to our arrival. We truly had a great time and found it very relaxing.
You have helped to make our first trip to Maui memorable. Hope to come back soon. Cheers, A & D, Vancouver, BC, Cananda"
"Superb! We have been coming to Hawaii for many years, staying in houses, hotels, and condos. As far as condos are concerned, this is the best, bar none! Thank you for sharing Olu Olu with us, Richard. Beautifully appointed, well-equipped, great layout and location. Hawaii and Maui are still the best. We'll be back, hopefully in your condo. Mahalo!"
- Ev and Audrey V., Victoria, BC, Canada
"Can it get any better than this? I don't think so! Our initial impression was one of awe. Emily's first words were 'Can we rent this place next year?' Your set up for the condo immediately made us feel at home. While we did many activities here in paradise, I think our favorite one was just sitting on the lanai and drinking coffee while the sun rose. Thank you for sharing your condo with us!"
-Jim and Emily W, Tahlequah, Oklahoma
"We knew the minute we pulled into our own parking space at the condo that it was going to be GREAT! Everything was just as you described it and the pictures you have don't do it justice. The condo was clean and welcoming and what a wonderful location! Quiet and relaxing, we loved the golf course view, the birds and the wonderful Maui sounds. We thought the people in Maui were so nice and we really enjoyed talking with them. We went to a different beach everyday, walked to the shops and were very appreciative to have your VERY comfy bed! We returned home relaxed and can't wait to return. We will of course, come stay at your wonderful condo again. Thanks for sharing it with us."
- William and Lisa B, Colorado
"Our 2nd visit inside 10 months - so good last time, we had to come back to Olu Olu; it's just like coing home again! You really do have a special place here and made all the more so with its relaxing decor and furnishings....All in all, another relaxing time spent in a very enjoyable, peaceful surroundings. Sure hope we can manage many more visits in time to come. All our regards."
-The Braids, Auckland, New Zealand
"Richard, your home in Maui is superb. Our first visit to Maui was more than we could have imagined. It truly is "Paradise". We felt comfortable and "at home" in the condo and it was wonderful to return to after 'hours on the beach.' Life doesn't get much better. And in the immortal words of A.S. (your Governor of California) "I'll be back." Mahalo"
-Daniel and Robin B, Vancouver Island, B.C., Canada
"Richard, we have just returned from Maui and I wanted to drop you a quick note just to say how much we enjoyed staying at your condo. It had absolutely everything we needed and more. We loved Maui so much that my husband is trying to convince me to return next March and if we do, we would love to stay at Olu Olu once again. I now underdstand what you mean by 'relax in Wailea', it was probably the most relaxing vacation we have taken in a long time (except for the trip along the west Maui mountain road which scared the #%@ out of us!). Anyway, we are considering what our travel plans will be for next year and if we do decide to return, I will be back in touch with you to check on the availability of Olu Olu. Mahalo"

DESCRPITION
Imagine yourself sitting on the living room sofa or on the private deck, overlooking the emerald green expanse of the beautiful Wailea Blue Golf Course, and beyond, the ocean, sunset, and West Maui mountains. Even though you are in the center of Wailea, you will neither hear nor see traffic.
We are most fortunate with the exact location and placement of this unit. If you come back to the unit in the heat of the day, the bedroom will be cool and shaded from the sun. Because our view is not directly west, in the living room/dining room/ kitchen, and on the lanai, you won't have the sunset glaring directly in your eyes, and yet you will be able to see some ocean, West Maui Mountains, etc. We can also leave the front door open all the time, for more air and light (there is a screen door) but maintain privacy because no one else walks by the front door.
This individually decorated and tropically appointed condo has an air-conditioner but because this is an end unit, every room (including both baths) has at least one (if not many) windows so you can enjoy the pure tropical breezes and hear the birds sing. [I believe the importance of good air circulation is often ignored, until you're stuck without it!.] If you want a comfortable, romantic, elegant, and private retreat, then this is the place for you.
We call our place Olu Olu, which means "cool and comfortable" in Hawaiian. The Aloha Spirit is alive, palpable, and unforgettable. Come to Olu Olu, be our guests, and experience Paradise for yourself!

Map & Owner's Profile
More Than a Few Lives Have Been Changed by a Visit to Wailea!
Year Purchased: 2000
Why the Owner Chose Grand Champions
I chose this condo in the Grand Champions in Wailea because the floor plan makes the unit seem more spacious, especially for a one bedroom. The condo has beautiful views - of the golf course, West Maui mountains, and the ocean! The Grand Champions is in the center of Wailea, and The Shops of Wailea, the big luxury hotels, the Town Center, some great restuarants, and most importantly, the fabulous beaches are all less then a 5 minute drive or a leisurely walk.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
The condo is called "olu olu" which in Hawaiian means cool, refreshing, satisfied, happy, cordial, and gracious. These are the feelings that come to mind when staying at the condo.
Owner's Map of Grand Champions
I lived in San Francisco for 35 years, until moving to Maui in 2008. San Francisco is still my favorite city in the world, but "Maui no ka oi" (Maui is the best!). According to the stats, we have the best weather, year around, of any place on earth. I can't argue with that!

Thank you so much for a wonderful time on Maui! The sunsets from the lanai are the best we have ever seen! It was so relaxing to sit out there and enjoy the view of the golf course and ocean in the distance. Love how the light and open kitchen/living room was. Great to have a DVRtoo and 2 bathrooms! Thank you!

Thank you SO much for sharing your beautiful home with us. Everything was just perfect and what an ideal location - close to some of the most beautiful beaches, the high end shopping, and the wonderful restaurants. There was only one problem... we couldn't stay longer! Much mahalo and we look forward to coming back. PS Mahalo for all the beach chairs,equipment. The Quiet Pool was perfect. Forgot to mention the great view of the Blue Course and ocean too. WE loved sitting on the lanai and enjoying our Kona coffee and breakfast each morning. (Sorry, the list goes on...)
