Map & Owner's Profile
Why the Owner Chose Grand Champions
Also, very spacious units located on 12 lushly landscaped acres. It is hard to explain the difference between Kihei and Wailea, but you will feel it as soon as you enter. Low rise, architecturally pleasing buildings in a beautiful, tropical setting.
Walk to the beautiful and exclusive Shops of Wailea, a number of restaurants and cocktail lounges, the 3 mile round trip Wailea Oceanfront Path (STUNNING).
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
This is a unique studio offering with large, legal kitchenette and private, covered lanai. You will feel like you have your own little guesthouse rather than just a condo.
Owner's Map of Grand Champions
Retired from a medical profession 5 years ago, spouse retired teacher. We enjoy our active Maui lifestyle...Leon with tennis and golf and myself with the outrigger canoe culture of the islands.
Wailea was our choice to be near beautiful beaches and ocean activites, but in a more quiet and less dense area than Kihei or the West side highrise resorts. We also like the ease of accessing all parts of the island from here.
All of our condos were chosen for their location in the resort of Wailea, away from all roads and their location within the complex of GCV. They offer maximum privacy with their lanais facing a private garden area of beautiful flowering trees and plants filled with birdsong. No golfers passing and no mowers and sprayers in the early morning, also not looking over the parking lot or noisy pool area.
That is a personal preference and many of our guests really appreciate and enjoy the same featureS.
Come have a unique experience and paddle with our canoe club on a Tu or Thur morning for a $25 donation. For many, it is a highlight of their trip. A unique experience for all ages and abilities. Must be 10 yrs or older. Ask me...you'll find a welcoming and encouraging 'ohana' (family) on our beach.

December vacation

Review Submitted: 12/30/11
It was amazing stay! Studio is very nice. It is used mostly for overnight stay (we spent most of daytime on beach/in town), but it's so nice, that you will enjoy it even in daytime. Only one disappointing thing - there is no oven in the kitchenette, so be ready to cook your meals in microwave or electric frying pan (buy food accordingly). Lanai has a very beautiful view to garden. It's really a great pleasure to sit there while having breakfast. Also this condo allows you to stay fit - you have a chance to have a 10-minute walk to beach. We like to walk, so it was a great benefit for us. However you can choose to ride a car. There are a lot of places nearby where you can have a breakfast or lunch. Dinners a pretty expensive in this area. Special thanks for detailed message from owner - we had a lot of ideas about where to go, where to eat, what to visit. Very helpful. What else? Just rent this condo and enjoy! It worth every penny I paid. Best value for less money!

This is my second time staying at one of Gail's properties. She lists the property as a studio, but it feels like a HUGE one bedroom. I love the way she decorates her places, always island and always SUPER CLEAN. There are so many things right at your finger tips, you don't even have to think about needing anything. The bed is very comfortable with hi thread count sheets. The kitchen comes with everything you need to cook. I didn't miss having a stove at all, the electric skillet worked perfect for our meals. The laundry is located in a little room on the lanai and really comes in handy since I pack light for long trips to Maui. Gail is extremely thorough with describing her properties and also gives tips on where to eat and how to have a great a safe vacation. The communication was perfect throughout my experience booking, it makes me want to be better at it in my own business! I would definitely recommend this to anyone new or returning to Maui. It is located in a beautiful neighborhood in Wailea, a short walk or drive to anything you could want or need. We loved eating at Gail's recommendations, including :Capiche? at Hotel Wailea and Matteo's pizza (you can walk). Can't wait to go back in Oct, I wouldn't stay anywhere else, she's got the best value for your buck!
Owner response:Mahalo, Erica, for such a glowing review. We're so pleased you have enjoyed your stay in 2 different units and look forward to welcoming you back, hopefully in October. It is hard to let prospective guests know what a lovely experience Wailea and our properties are without bragging....so thank you for bragging for us! A hui hou (see you again), Gail

We stayed in Secret Studio for just one week in April 2011; one week too short at least! The studio is very clean, comfortable, decorated with a great taste and care. We had wonderful time there. The big advantage is lanai - overlooking lush garden; birds awoken us every morninig. The place itself (Grand Champions) is very beautiful and picturesque; during our stay we've been to may places on Maui and we think that Wailea is the most beautiful. If I am to be back on Maui (hopefully I will), I will definitely choose Secret Studio. One can say that we should try somenthing new (I am usually of such opinion as well); but not in case of Maui, Wailea and Grand Chamopins. I dont want to take any risk and I can reccommend you Secret Studio. I would like to thank Gail and Leon once again for their care and that our stay on Maui was so easy-going and unforgetable. They were very helpful trying to find some options for our Big Island one-day-trip, with their advice where to eat, do shopping and so on. Thanks!!! And hope - see you again
Owner response:Mahalo, Anita, for taking the time to share your experience in the Secret Studio. We love that you came so far (Leon was born in Poland) and found that Maui does not disappoint a world traveler. We wish you continued exciting travels and hope we may see you again here in Maui. Gail & Leon

Great studio apartment. Clean, great location, and much more affordable than the area hotels. Central to Wailea, and only about 5 minute drive to south Kihei as well. There are also a lot of amenities you wouldn't find at a hotel, such as beach chairs, coolers, full size refrigerator, and washer/dryer. Came with very detailed instructions, which were super helpful. Gail is very organized and attentive, and it was very easy to work with her. Would highly recommend!

I have stayed in the studio units on 3 trips and will definitely return. The units are wonderfully located in Wailea and are well-appointed and a great value. Having kitchen and laundry facilities is a plus for me.

We stayed in the apartment during late August/early September 2009 and had a WONDERFUL time. The apartment is spacious and VERY well equipped, super comfortable and simply had everything we needed. The location is great, just 2 minutes from Waliea shops, with many restaurant choices, 5 minutes drive from Keihi with even more options!, and 5 minutes from several gorgeous beaches! This region has the best weather in all of the island and is well situated by main roads that make exploring very very easy. Gail is a superb host - providing great communication, good detailed information on the apartment facilities and recommendations for restaurants and activities in the area. Very friendly and could not have been more helpful. The booking process was simple, exceptionally friendly and without any fuss or error. We would return and/or recommend without any hesitation! The activities in Waliea and Maui were brilliant a few of our favourites included: * Kayaking and snorkelling with Green Turtles (Maui Kayak's) * Seeing the sunrise from the top of the 10,000ft volcano - and then cycling down it from 6,500ft at 20-30 mph! (Hakela * Being part of a Luau - I can still hear the music! * Hiring Harley Davidson's and cruising the road to Hana (Hula Hogs) * Sushi and Sunsets at Five Palms in Waliea * Seafood and views at Mama's Fish House (Paia) Thank you Gail for helping us to have the holiday of a lifetime!

Gail, a big Mahalo for all the comforts of your tree top studio which I had the pleasure of recently enjoying while I returned for another visit to Maui. It was perfect for me and I can't wait to return.

Gail & Leon, Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. We had a lovely time at your condo while exploring the beauty of Maui. We would highly recommend the Kihei Canoe Club (Tues & Thurs AM), Matteo's pizza (yum), Wokstar (for delicious, reasonable fare), Pita Paradise, and all the hiking spots you can find (such beautiful hikes). The accommodations here were above and beyond what we expected. Thanks again!
