We had a great vacation... the condo is very clean and is a stone's throw from the Whalers Village area with shops and restaurants. Wi-Fi worked great, and the view of the ocean never disappointed. Check in and check out were both super fast and the pool was a nice bonus. Thanks for a great stay!
Spacious, well kept condo right on beautiful Kaanapali Beach. Gorgeous views from the lanai and right next to Whalers Village with shops and restaurants. Location can’t be beat!
Great location and clean residence! Convenient to all the amenities Whalers Village offers. Easy access to restaurants, stores and beach. All the staff were helpful and polite. Would recommend this location!
The condo was clean with a well equipped kitchen, plenty of beach items (snorkel, chairs, boogie boards) and the host a delight. We have already booked the same place for next year-THANK YOU!
Absolutely love this property and love The Whaler! Owner was awesome to deal with and answered immediately when messaged. We have already booked for next year!

Thank you for your very nice comments! The Whaler is a pretty special spot and we're very happy to welcome you back as repeat guests.
Perfect location for our Maui vacation! Condo was just as described, great communication from the owner and loved the views! Whale watching from the lanai was fabulous! Mahalo!

Thank you Patty for your review! We're glad to hear you enjoyed whale watching from our lanai. It's a real thrill to see and the lanai is a perfect spot to view them! We hope you'll return again soon!
We really enjoyed our vacation. Condo was bright and sunny and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Communication was easy and a small problem was fixed within hours. Wonderful!
This property really does have it all! Amazing location, comfortable accommodations, well-stocked kitchen, two bathrooms (so we could spread out), and eye-popping views! We spent so much time outside on the Lanai relaxing and taking in the sights and sounds, and also enjoyed the proximity to the beach, shopping and restaurants. The building amenities are great too: on-site parking, free laundry, coffee/tea, water/tea poolside, warm pool, and just steps to the beach. We had a great time using this as a home base while we enjoyed everything Maui had to offer.
This is the second time we have stayed in this unit and we are already booked for next year. It is bright, clean, and comfortable with recently updated bathrooms. We spend most of our time on the lanai enjoying the view and the activity around the shopping village.
Highly recommended!
This is our 3rd/4th stay in this unit. Can’t beat the location or the view. It’s clean but dated, hence the 4* review. Luckily, the lack of updating is reflected in the nightly rate.

Diane, thank you for your review. We're glad to have you as return guests. We are in the process of updating and would welcome you back to see the changes!
Having two bathrooms and the Murphy bed was just what I needed. I was traveling with my 17 year old granddaughter. At least we could contain her messiness to the bathroom as we had to clean up her “bedroom” every morning.
The location was fantastic. Lots of shopping and restaurants. The beach is beautiful being able to get clean beach towels whenever needed was a plus.
No complaints!
