Our unit was clean, very spacious and well stocked. The kitchen had everything we could need. There were plenty of beach chairs, toys, snorkel equipment, coolers, etc. We had a toddler with us, and used the provided stroller every day! There was also a washer/dryer in the unit! The location was perfect... within walking distance of shopping, eating, beach walking, etc. We had an amazing trip, and our room was exactly what we were hoping it would be! Thank you to Keith for your hospitality and immediate response to all of our questions. We loved it!

We also love hearing that the location made it easy to walk to shopping, dining, and the beach — it really is one of the best parts of staying here.

We enjoyed our 7 days in this beautiful condo which was perfect for 4 adults. The wrap-around veranda was our favorite place to hang out with both ocean and mountain views! The kitchen was fully equipped for preparing meals and it was great having a washer/dryer in the master bathroom. The property is so beautiful and it was a definite plus to be located next door to Whalers Village shops and restaurants.

This was my 1st trip to Hawaii and Maui didn't disappoint. We chose this condo unit after looking at numerous others and it was perfect. The communication with the owner was very good. Anything we needed, etc he replied to quickly.One of my favorite things was the notes he sent with information on transportation options with names, phone numbers & emails, lists of restaurants and numerous others things he thought we might need to make our stay more enjoyable. I would recommend this condo to anyone looking to stay in this area.

Our stay was fantastic. Immaculately clean. Property was equipped with everything we needed in the kitchen. There is also plenty of beach and snorkel equipment. The only thing we bought were our own snorkels. The property and location is perfect. So easy to dash to the shops and restaurants at Whaler’s village and catch the sunset cruise with Sea Maui. Sometimes the service dock of Whaler’s Village was a bit loud but it was not an issue for us at all. Great views of mountains and the ocean. Enjoy sunrise and sunset from the lanai. I hope to visit again!

Why they chose this property
After vacationing in Maui for the past 20+ years with my wife and 2 sons, staying at over a dozen different resorts up and down Kaanapali Beach, we fell in love with The Whaler and continued to make it our first choice. We were very fortunate to stay in a 2 bedroom unit at The Whaler in 2017, and we immediately knew that this was a winner. My wife loves to entertain and this condo is ideal for entertaining lots of guests. After friends and family purchased this condo in August 2019, we immediately came on board as co-owners. We have two goals in mind, one is to make our condo one of the nicest on Kaanapali Beach, and two....share our condo in paradise with guests. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
What makes this property unique
You can't find a better location on Kaanapali Beach. The convenience of staying at The Whaler is almost indescribable. Everything is within walking distance and a short drive in to the historic Lahaina town.
