About this property

Listen to the birds chirp!

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.

Expensive for a dated place

The room was just ok, but dated. There were stains on the carpet, rust on the fan. A drawer of the chest was loose. Some kitchen ustencils were dirty or broken. In the bathroom, the bathtub was rusted at the bottom with additional rust on the curtain rod. Some towels had stains. The sink was cracked. Also, the outside lamp was not functionning.

Great Wailea location

The location of this place was perfect for a light stroll to the beach, restaurants and shops in Wailea. The place had a very comfortable king size bed. Because it was on the second floor, we were able to leave the deck door open at night for a restful sleep. The shared patio wasn’t as private due to the dead plants in the patio divider. We would definitely consider coming to this place on our next trip to Maui.

Perfect location

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!

Beautiful place!

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, clean, quiet community in great location - easy to get anywhere on Maui from here!

We were very pleased with almost every aspect of this vrbo. The only thing keeping it from getting a five-star was the very small kitchen (not really a kitchen). I'd recommend it though to anyone traveling to Maui that doesn't need a full kitchen. Instructions were extremely clear, great recommendations on dining and other information was there for us along with beach chairs, beach towels & a little cooler for beach excursions. Beaches nearby are spectacular with great snorkeling & beautiful sunsets. Close to lots of activities but far enough away from town to feel peaceful.

The Perfect Beautiful and Cozy Studio Condo in Maui

If you are looking for the perfect place to stay in Maui for two people, LOOK NO FURTHER!! This is the most beautiful and cozy studio condo in Wailea. It was clean and in order upon arrival. It's very quiet and relaxing. You can listen to the birds, and open the doors to the lanai to give off the most heavenly feel. It's close to the beach and many shops and restaurants as well as luaus. It's also short drives to many other towns and locations. The owners are a pleasure to deal with as well making all arrangemints easy and simple. We will return to Maui and bring our family. Next time, we will select the two-bedroom option. I would recommend this studio to you and to family and friends.

Great studio apartment

This place was super cute and we enjoyed staying in the unit. You have everything you need and it had ample space. We did make two requests to the owner and they were both declined. I would have hoped the owner to be a bit more flexible since we were considerate with her in her requests to turn off the window unit while we stepped away from the unit and also removed our shoes to avoid any dirt on her light carpet. Other than that, we did enjoy the unit and would recommend it.

Amazing!

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!

You get what you pay for!

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.

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.

A few updates would serve this large studio well.

A few updates would serve this large studio well. The studio is attached with a door separating the studio & main condo. There is a gap under the door that made the room not very private feeling (especially when we could hear the neighbors). I ended up putting pillows down along the door to buffer the sound. The studio is in need of a deep clean (behind bed) & parts of the bathroom. The outside of the property is well maintained with beautiful landscaping, friendly neighbors & staff. Nice little pool with hot tub. Walking distance to many restaurants (a bit of a walk, but totally doable if you’re up for some exercise). The owner is a sweetheart & handled a couple issues we had early on very professionally. A deep clean, new bedding, pillows, bed & new decor, would bump this large studio in Wailea up to five stars.

Nice alternative to a hotel room

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!

Not a condo

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.

About the host

Hosted by Rachel Sherman

This Grand Champions condo has been in the family for 25 years. Sylvia, Bruce's mother, relocated back to San Diego to spend time with family. Helene and Bruce then remodeled and began renting the unit. Rachel, Helene and Bruce's daughter and Sylvia's granddaughter, has taken over the handling of reservations as of March 2019. We all love this condo and would like to retain this family legacy on Maui for our children, grandchildren, and others to enjoy.

Sylvia, Bruce, Helene, and Rachel Sherman

Why they chose this property

After Helene and Bruce enjoyed a marvelous vacation in Maui in 1989, Bruce encouraged his parents to travel to this beautiful island. To help the reluctant travelers, he planned the itinerary, down to the best beaches for swimming and snorkeling. At an early morning breakfast, looking out over the calm Pacific waters, his parents decided to move from the 'cold ocean and bitter San Diego winters' to swim and snorkel year round in the 'warm waters of paradise'. That was 25 years ago!

What makes this property unique

Having visited and lived in Maui over 25 years, and loving to plan itineraries as described above in 'Why this Property' section, we are more than happy to provide you with recommendations on restaurants (we love to eat!!!), beaches, snorkeling spots, and much more. I hope that you will ask us any questions that you might have about the Island.
