This apartment is a great option in these uncertain times. Health and safety are more than ever the primary concerns for guests along with experiencing a living environment that promotes a feeling of well being and relaxation. I believe if you read my guest reviews you will be confident of the quality of stay you will experience. While I have always provided a clean and well appointed apartment, it is now being cleaned and disinfected by the standards set forth by the CDC. I call my condo “Olu Olu”, which means 'cool and comfortable, and refreshing’ in Hawaiian. The Aloha Spirit is alive, palpable, and unforgettable.

Why I love my apartment and recommend you staying in Olu Olu, Grand Champions 161:
Location of Apartment in Wailea: Grand Champions is located in the heart of Wailea. This allows you to enjoy so many things without needing to use your car. You can walk to The Shops at Wailea, Maui's premier shopping and dining destination, home to more than 70 distinct boutiques, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, galleries, and a grocery store. The beach path that is oceanfront throughout Wailea and the world-class beaches and hotels is very popular and a great place to get some exercise. Over the years numerous smaller hotels have been built close to the Grand Champions and now there are three places with new restaurants, bars, unique clothing stores, etc, all within close walking distance from the condo. Grand Champions is located on one of the Wailea Golf courses and adjacent to the Wailea Tennis Club, which abuts one side of our complex (but NOT on the same side that your condo is on so you will not have to endure the whap, whap, of tennis balls!)

Location of Apartment in Grand Champions: This is an end unit in a low density complex, with plantings on 3 sides of the apartment. I really like how this provides a sense of being “out of the way/private”—you will not feel that there are crowds of people around you.

Accessibility to Apartment: Ground floor with the front door very close to the parking stall. This makes coming and going so easy, whether bringing in groceries/luggage or just coming and going daily (carrying beach chairs, ice chests, golf clubs etc).

Ventilation in Apartment: There are windows in every room of the condo, including both bathrooms, allowing for wonderful air circulation and minimizing the need for air conditioning, although it is available if desired.

Now, picture yourself sitting on the living room sofa or private lanai, overlooking the emerald green expanse of the beautiful Wailea Blue Golf Course, and looking beyond to the sunset, West Maui mountains and a bit of the ocean. Even though you are in the center of Wailea, you will neither hear nor see traffic. Because your view is not directly west, you won't have the sunset glaring directly in your eyes—in the living room/dining room, kitchen, or lanai. You are close to the Quiet (Adult) Pool but not close enough to hear while on your lanai; it is peaceful and quiet.

Late Check-Out Option: If you are leaving in the afternoon or evening, you may want to purchase this option. This is only available if there is not another reservation on the same day you are leaving. Please contact me for more information.

Come to Olu Olu and experience Paradise for yourself! I truly love this unit and have been very fortunate to share it with my family, friends, and many wonderful guests. Let me know if you have questions. Wherever you stay in Maui, I hope you have the most memorable trip.

Please note effective November 1, 2021, Maui County has implemented a new 3% Transient Accommodations Tax (MCTAT) on all vacation rentals.  Vrbo has yet to implement it on their system, so we have to manually add it to each reservation as an additional charge.
