About this property

Cozy, Well-Furnished Studio

Relax, enjoy the gentle breeze, take a deep breath and enjoy the birds, flowers and scents of Maui that surround you. Our quiet location is surrounded by the Wailea Old Blue Golf Course & adjacent to the Wailea Tennis Club & Wailea Town Center; minutes away from the most beautiful beaches, luxurious shopping and fine restaurants of South Maui.

We recently returned to VRBO after a two year break during which time we were on another website where we were considered a superhost. We had about 300 guests during that time, half in this unit and half in our one bedroom unit, and had a 4.8 average review rating. Almost all guests left reviews.

Our spacious studio room is furnished with a king-size bed with new (January, 2016) Tempurpedic mattress and comfortable sitting area for relaxing after snorkeling or visiting Haleakala. A 40' flat panel TV is provided for those rare rainy days in Wailea. The kitchenette is equipped with sink, refrigerator, microwave, two burner portable cooktop, coffee maker, toaster and blender for a quick breakfast or lunch. Beautiful white carpeting sets off the Hawaiian themed furnishings, and we have lots of beach equipment available for fun in the sun.

A remodel completed in July, 2014 included all new tile, cabinets, granite countertops, etc.

Lush flowering tropical foliage surrounds us. One of Grand Champions' two pools is across the parking area where there is a hot tub and gas grills & tables for your cooking pleasure. Dine on our spacious lanai and enjoy the wind whistling through the bamboo woods. Or enjoy the beauty of Maui's sunsets and our partial ocean view from the front lanai.

Rentals of one or two days will only be accepted to fill a gap of the same length in our calendar or when arrival or departure dates are on the same day as a departure or arrival date of another guest.

Cockroaches!

This place was filthy. The carpets were really dirty. Stained bed linens. We had to wash the bedspread when we arrived. No place to hang clothes. one dresser with drawers that stick. You have to share the washer with other unit that would not remove clothes for a day. I was willing to over look all of this until we started seeing the cockroaches. Really sickening. I have stayed at several units in this complex- all very nice This was a disaster.

Great time and loved this cozy place!

We had a wonderful time and Ralph and Janice were very responsive. It is a cute place and we ate out mostly so the lack of a stove is not a big deal to us. We were able to walk to most places and felt very comfortable there. The bed was comfy and in general this home was a great experience for us. The bath is full-size and we really liked that. Really great landlords Ralph and Janice-THANK-YOU!

Wailea Review

The location was amazing! The studio was a good size for the two of us, and it was a great place overall. Our only issue was the wifi still wasn’t working. Ralph was really helpful communicating with us and seemed to do everything he could to try to get it fixed, but sadly it wasn’t by the time we left. Overall, a great stay.

Nice location. A little confusing to get to the right unit. Comfortable bed. Very little room in entryway to get 2 people & luggage in and remove shoes. White carpet was a pain. Loved the beach chairs, snorkels etc.

Best Value in Paradise

This studio is a wonderful value. It is a secluded-feeling gem just a short and beautiful walk from resorts that start at $1500 per night and up. Wake up to tropical birdsong and greet the day walking the block or so down toward the shops at Wailea and the spectacular coastal resort walk. The glorious blue ocean and sky and neighboring islands come into full view just steps away from this studio which is conveniently located near the gatehouse to the resort. The ocean and other adventures beckon and the studio is a cozy retreat to return to. Exceptional value!

Studio for stop over

Nice little studio unit. Deck faces beautiful foliage and we love waking up to the birds. This unit is right by the entrance to the complex but still very quiet. This is a second floor unit so we were able to keep the slider open with the fans going. AC is broken but owner was never notified. Owner responded promptly to my message and had a handiman at the door by morning. AC must be replaced but luckily we were comfortable in our stay here.

Not As Comfortable As Presented

We were here for 3 nights. The location and complex the condo is in were pleasant and well maintained. We could walk to the shopping and dining area, but the beach was a more difficult place to get to. We didn't have a car. I thought the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was quite large and generally functional. Unfortunately, this place is a bit shabby. The tub/shower did not have a non-slip surface and was very slippery getting in and out. There was no soap in there - instead under the sink is a large selection of soaps and shampoos. You just had to pick through it to get what you wanted. I would have been nice to place some nice toiletries into the bathtub to avoid the shuffle. Also, the tile in the bathroom is very slippery when wet. A non-slip surface would be nice and more safe. As for the kitchen area, it is in the 'hall' between the living and bathrooms. Very narrow and very little counter space. Meal prep in here would be challenging. The refrigerator is located inside a neighboring closet which must be left open to provide air circulation for the frig. Although it was clean, it was awkward moving through the area. Also, someone should go through it and clean out the limited cabinet space. There were 4 jars of PB and several mayonnaise jars in the frig. It was very cluttered and not useful for any cabinet storage as they were crowded. No coffee was provided. The living area was plenty large. The furniture is sagging. The bed was comfortable. There is a missing slat in the vertical blinds and could not find where to grip to slide them aside for access to the patio. As there is no table in the condo, we ate on the patio where there is a table and chairs (4). If you like a dark room for sleeping, as I am, this is not it. As this is an end unit, there are landscaping lights, on all night, which are directed at the building, and shine into the condo. The fan over the bed was nice. There are beach chairs, but when we went to use them, there were various reasons they were not usable. The straps on the 'backpack' chair were broken rendering it unusable for us walkers. The other chair was also unusable, though I cannot remember the specific issue. There are other beach toys available but we did not use them. Upon entering it is requested that you take off your shoes. However, there is no place to sit in the entryway in order to accomplish this task. I would not stay here again.

Lovely upstairs studio condo

Cute well kept studio lock-off bedroom with full size bathroom and balcony overlooking a small wooded area (shared with adjoining accommodation). Very nice king size mattress. Small kitchenette area with full size refrigerator and microwave (no range or oven). We had everything we needed for our short stay in beautiful Wailea. There is an excellent casual restaurant within walking distance at the tennis club with a creative chef that foodies would love and multiple gourmet restaurant choices at the nearby luxury resorts. Ralph and Janice were very detailed in their helpful communications. We had a wonderful stay and would gladly return.

The condo is in a great location and very close to several resorts in the area. The host sent all instructions soon after final payment was made. Everything was accurate per the host’s instructions and the checkin process was very simple to allow for checkin at any time of the day. Thank you for making our stay so simple and easy.

About the host

Hosted by ralph G schmidt

Host profile image
Ralph is a retired pastor who is now Director of Development for a humanitarian aid organization. Janice formerly worked in nursing and insurance; she now cares for their home and their Cavalier King Charles puppy named Cromwell. We both enjoy golf and dancing in our leisure time, Janice also is active in yoga and is a passionate knitter.

We have visited most of the major islands and feel Maui offers everything we want in a vacation home. We always enjoy the road to Hana, drives around the north and south sides of the island and people-watching in Lahaina. Most mornings we take the shore walk behind the Wailea resorts and look for whales. On our first trip to Maui we discovered Big Beach and that is still our favorite.

Why they chose this property

We had been looking at units in the Kihei area around the Kameole beaches where we had stayed many times in the past. When our real estate agent convinced us to look at this condo, we were sold immediately! We knew the beautiful Wailea development was worth the extra expense. The ability to manage our own rentals via the internet, and a great price brought it within our reach, so we mortgaged our rental properties on the mainland and jumped. We haven't regretted it!! Now when we come to Maui, we feel we are coming home.

What makes this property unique

Although our ocean view is small, we can still view whale activity with binoculars from our front lanai and the studio window. The grills & one of the pools are right across the parking lot from our unit, so our food is still hot when we get back to the condo. We love sitting out on the lanai listening to the breeze rustle the bamboo leaves, and sleeping with the doorwall open to the lanai at night. The cathedral ceiling makes the room light and seem even larger than it actually is.
