Wonderful stay

This property is outstanding. It is beautiful inside and out and has all the comforts of home. So well stocked right down to bandaids! The property overlooks the awesome Blue Golf Course and the ocean is in sight. We watched the boats going out to Molokini every morning and the momma whales and their babies putting on a show almost every day. A definite place to stay. We will going back.

We stayed here for 10 days along with my wife’s parents and our two young daughters (4y & 6mo)…apartment was really nice and really well equipped overall, including crib and chairs for the baby. Location was great, and view from the balcony is amazing. Would definitely recommend this unit.

Great location - Well equipped for family of 6

Great place. Would recommend! Thank you!! One tiny improvement is the bedroom and bathroom doors are louvered so every sound travels through and can see through. For light sleepers or those wanting privacy slightly inconvenient. We had an amazing time! Still 5 stars!

Great Spring Break at Grand Champions

We stayed at the property managed by the Van Gorders. The condo was very well supplied with lots of kitchen equipment and everything we needed for the beach. The three bedrooms were spacious for our family of 4 adults and two children. It was a short walk to the shops at Wailea as well as many restaurants. Also a short drive to the multiple great beaches at Wailea, Makena and Kihei. We did snorkeling and whale watching tours out of nearby Makena Landing. We visited Maui Ocean Center only 20 minutes away. Safeway is 10 minutes away and airport 30 minutes. Our longest drive was 40 minutes up to Lahaina . Highly recommend renting this unit!!!

Loved It

It was a lovely place to stay and well located! The condo was beautifully decorated and made us feel we were in a tropical paradise. We appreciated items left for our use such as coolers, washer/dryer (laundry soap), etc. The owners thought of everything! Our only suggestion would be if you decide in the future to make some changes to the unit, replace the inside doors with solid doors. The current slatted doors don’t keep out sounds from other parts of the condo.

Momsters take Maui

We were in Maui for a week to celebrate a milestone birthday (5 gal pals). The location was great, the unit was as advertised, spacious, well appointed, and clean. We had ample dishes, towels and beach chairs. The appliances were of good quality and in good shape. The pools and the grounds were lovely and it was an easy walk to the Shops at Wailea as well as Wailea Kitchen, MonkeyPod and a new coffee shop. We would stay here again.

Amazing Accommodations!!

I stayed here with my wife, kids and my in-laws and it was clean, convenient and comfortable. They had everything that you would need to have an easy vacation. The host provided beach towels, chairs and umbrellas, all toiletries, a fridge full of condiments and lastly I couldn’t believe they even had phone chargers on each of the bedside tables. This location is second to none. I played tennis with my family at the Wailea Tennis Club, had dinner at Monkeypod which is a short walk away and It’s walking distance to Wailea Beach. Overall we were super satisfied with this unit. Thanks Heather and Courtnie for making our stay in Maui extremely enjoyable!

Amazing Maui Condo

We were so happy when we finally found a 3 bedroom that would perfectly accommodate all 6 of us. We had a spectacular time staying in the condo. The pool was in view of the deck, which was super handy. The Views and the sunsets where unforgettable. The Condo was clean and well stocked. Everyone loved the rainfall showers. Condo felt close to everything that we wanted to do. The Wailea beach path was super close and we enjoyed walking that and watching the sunrise every morning. The only disappointment, was we wished we had another week there.

Great Condo/Excellent Location

We have been to Maui many times and had many condo rentals. This is the first time where we have not had to contact the property manager for supplies, utensils or any products. It is fully stocked and well appointed. Location is great. We have also stayed at GC before and the location of this condo in the GC is the best. It is quiet and has an amazing lanai and view. It is extremely spacious and comfortable. Excellent rental in Wailea.

About the host

Hosted by Heather Sacre VanGorder

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property because of the location, in Wailea , surrounded by the Blue Course with an ocean view.
Having 3 bedrooms and 2 baths was the perfect fit for our family, it's very quiet here.

What makes this property unique

We love how big our unit is, the size of the lanai, the beauty of the golf course and the mountain and ocean views from our lanai.
It has a lot of natural light, and a separate door from the kitchen leading to the lanai.
Over the years we have added a lot of up dates and will continue to do so.
