Grand Champions
155 Wailea Ike Pl, Wailea, HI 96753
Grand Champions Villas trades the oceanfront for the fairway. Set back from the coast along the Wailea Blue Golf Course and next to the Wailea Tennis Club, this gated community of 188 homes is built for buyers who want the resort lifestyle without the beachfront price tag or the crowds. Twenty-two three-story buildings sit across just over 12 acres, giving it a more compact, established feel than Wailea's sprawling beach villages.
It also has one of the more balanced ownership profiles in the resort, with roughly half of all units owner-occupied rather than run purely as vacation rentals. That mix tends to mean a steadier, more neighborhood-like rhythm day to day, even though short-term rental is still allowed here. Gated access, tennis, a pool, and direct golf course frontage round out the appeal.

Short-term rental status
Grand Champions is apartment-zoned (A2) and appears on Maui County's official Minatoya list, the apartment-district properties allowed short-term occupancy under a decades-old grandfathered exception. Under Bill 9, apartment-zoned Minatoya rentals in South Maui phase out at the start of 2031, though a newer measure has opened a path for many of these buildings to apply for new hotel zoning and keep operating, and the matter is still moving through the courts. With about half of Grand Champions already owner-occupied, this affects fewer owners here than at some rental-heavy neighbors, but if you are counting on rental income, confirm the current status with Diane before you buy.
Rules are actively changing as of 2026. Contact Diane for the current status of a specific unit.

Questions buyers ask
Where is Grand Champions located?
Grand Champions sits at 155 Wailea Ike Place, inland from the coast along the Wailea Blue Golf Course and next to the Wailea Tennis Club.
How big is Grand Champions and when was it built?
Grand Champions was built in 1989 and holds 188 homes across 22 three-story buildings on just over 12 acres.
Is Grand Champions more of a full-time neighborhood or a rental community?
It's one of the more balanced complexes in Wailea. Roughly half of all units are owner-occupied, unusually high for this resort, so it tends to feel more like a steady neighborhood than a pure vacation-rental building, even though renting is still allowed.
Can you short-term rent a condo at Grand Champions?
Yes, for now. Grand Champions is apartment-zoned and on the county's official Minatoya list, so it falls under Maui's Bill 9 phase-out, currently set to end South Maui short-term rentals on January 1, 2031, unless the building secures the newer hotel-zoning option that is still working through the courts. With about half the complex already owner-occupied, this affects fewer owners here than at some rental-heavy neighbors, but ask Diane to confirm the current status before you count on rental income.
