We have stayed on the whaler often but a first to renting this unit. It was a a very comfortable stay and super clean. We would definitely stay here again.
The room was perfect in every way. Just the right size for a couple, very close to the elevator for easy loading in and out, 10 steps off the beach and right next to the Whaler Village for great food and fun bars.I highly recommend this room at this place.
This property was more than we expected. It was clean, convenient with a kitchenette and resort amenities on property, and just a few steps from a beautiful beach where we snorkeled with sea turtles! It was our first trip to Maui and we’d definitely stay again.

Thank you Jessica! We're so glad you enjoyed your first visit to Maui. Hopefully you will be able to visit again sometime.
The condo was amazing! It is a studio, but was so spacious and had so much light we never felt cramped. The ocean view from the balcony was awesome to enjoy while having coffee in the morning. The location couldn't have be beat. We were so close to Black Rock and it's great snorkeling. Maui Brewing at the complex next door was an added bonus. They thought of everything. The chairs, umbrella and cooler meant we didn't have to rent anything (altho I did rent a boogie board which was a blast). We will definitely hope to get this place again next time we're in Maui.
We have stayed at the Whaler on Kaanapali Beach several times. Amazing location & beach. The owners were exceptional to deal with and responded promptly. This suite is well stocked and had everything we needed.
Completely satisfied. Everything was thought out and there for us to use. We didn’t need anything. It was truly home away from home. Location is phenomenal, love being able to walk right out to the beach. Unit had beach chairs, sun umbrella, coolers and The Whaler supplies beach towels. Owners quick to respond to messages. We will definitely be coming back!
Our stay was wonderful. The unit is impeccable. Provided everything you could need and more. Enjoyed the privacy of the balcony every morning and evening. Already wanting to come back next year. Thanks for sharing your wonderful unit with us.

Aloha Diana,
Thank you for your wonderful review. We’re glad you enjoyed your stay in our condo at the beautiful Whaler on Kaanapali Beach. We hope you will be able to join us again next year!
We enjoyed our stay at your lovely condo. We liked the tropical view from the lanai after our beach time and still had a nice ocean view. We really liked being on the second floor and could easily walk up to the unit instead of taking the elevator. The bed was very comfortable too. We will be back! Thank you!
We had an absolutely incredible stay! The location could not be better - just steps from the lively Whalers Village, yet the condo itself was perfectly peaceful. All we could hear from the room were the soothing sounds of crashing waves and the ocean breeze. There is even a partial ocean view from the balcony!We were impressed by how convenient everything was - close to the elevators and laundry, which made things easy, yet it still felt completely quiet and private. And this was even during the busy 4th of July holiday week!The staff was very friendly and accommodating, and the amenities were top-notch. We loved having access to pickleball courts, and my husband really enjoyed the fitness center. The bed and couch were super comfortable, making it easy to relax after long beach days.Check-in was seamless, and the host went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcome. Parking was never an issue - we always found a spot in the secure underground garage.We don’t want to stay anywhere else on Maui. This place truly has it all!

What a nice place!
This was our second stay at this property and I know it won't be the last. It's location is perfect for us. Shopping, restaurants, sightseeing are all close. However, the best part is the ocean right outside the door. The view from the lanai is beautiful. I love sitting there and watching the whales. The unit is clean, the staff friendly and the pool is inviting. I would say it is a good deal for the price.

I fell in love with condo and location. We will definitely return for a get away.
I thought it was so clean and great place. Loved the island furniture and the Lani. Had breakfast out there every morning. It was so clean and equipped with all our needs. Definitely will use it again. So happy we found it. We live in central Maui but love to get away to other side too. Thank you so much making our father’s day, birthday and anniversary celebration with so many memories🌺🌺🎂🥂🌺
This was the best accommodation we have ever had in Maui & we have been vacationing in Maui for 30 years.
The condo was beautiful, extremely clean & spacious, the owners have catered & anticipated for every need you require , ie, beach chairs, coolers, fully equipped kitchen, they really have gone above & beyond on what is supplied.
Also the communication with the owners & the property manager was an absolute pleasure.
We did not want to leave, we will definitely re-book with them & have no hesitation, in recommending our friends to stay in this condo.
This experience has made our vacation so memorable & special.
Thank you so much Norm & Mary

Fantastic Condo in the best location on Kaanapali beach
We had a fantastic stay in Norm & Mary's spacious and nicely appointed condo on Kaanapali beach. We enjoyed chilling on the deck, watching people pass by on the boardwalk, people playing in the waves, whales breaching and flopping around, and a pod of dolphins with young doing flips for over 20 minutes one day directly in front of our building (my favorite). We cooked quite a bit using the ground's barbecues as well as the unit's kitchen, given the COVID situation, and the kitchen was well appointed with everything we needed. We also snorkeled daily and jumped off Black Rock which is a short swim or walk from the condo. So much fun!
Norm & Mary we also appreciated your patience and help with working through the COVID testing requirements.
Thank you!

Norm and Mary Scott
We absolutely loved our stay at your condo!! The ocean view from the lanai was just beautiful...we were not expecting that for the price we paid!! The entire condo was super clean, and beautiful, and had everything we needed for our Maui vacation!! The king bed was so comfortable, and we slept really well!! It was so awesome that you provided us with the Tommy Bahama chairs, umbrella, and ice chest! The walk to the incredible Ka'anapali beach is just right outside the doors of the Whaler, and we could not believe how wonderful it was to stay right on the beach!! The beautiful pool area was an added bonus!! It was never crowded in the morning, and we loved the padded lounges with shade covers, and umbrellas! Also loved that coffee in the morning and iced tea in the afternoon was provided at the pool area for free!! Jacuzzi was so hot, and just perfect!! Having The Hula Grill restaurant right next door was a huge plus!! Also, we loved The Maui Brewing Company!!The food was delicious and the drinks were fantastic! Great service too!! Also, having Whaler's Village right next door was so convenient!! So many great restaurants, shops...especially the ABC store, and ice cream!! The whole area has a great beach vibe, and is very family oriented. Thank you for a beautiful vacation!!

Perfect location
Norm was a pleasure to deal with throughout the entire process, which lasted nearly a year as one has to book things quite far in advance on Maui. He was very quick to respond to all inquiries, and provided helpful information whenever asked.
The room is small, but is sufficient, and really has everything one needs--we stayed for two weeks and the only thing we could have used that wasn't there was a pair of scissors. The kitchen and bathrooms have everything you need, and they also provide a boogey board, which my daughter loved, and a cooler, which we used almost every day. The room is clean and very comfortable.
Two items, in particular, stand out as being the best part of this room. First, its location--it is in the perfect place on Maui. The Whaler village is right next door, with several good places to eat, and and ABC store for those items one might need to buy. The beach cannot be beat, and Black Rock is within walking distance for snorkeling. Within a few miles north or south, you have access to grocery stores and everything else you would want in West Maui. Lahaina is only 5 minutes away and is a good place to walk around for shopping. The second is that, at night, this room is quiet, and the sleeping accommodations are very comfortable. A good nights sleep every night for two weeks!
The hotel is very clean and well maintained, and the staff were extremely friendly--kind of nice to be greeted by name when one checks in at 9PM after a full day of traveling.
As such, this room is easy to recommend enthusiastically. We will happily stay here again if we return to Maui. Even my daughter, who is a bit picky, said: "This was the perfect room!" Can't get higher praise than than. :)

We had a wonderful time visiting Maui and the Whaler again after 20 years. The condo had everything we needed and was in a terrific spot. We loved it and will be back! Thank you1
This is a fantastic unit in Whaler Village. The location is extremely convenient, and the unit itself is really comfortable and well maintained. The lanai is fabulous and perfect for enjoying breakfast or an afternoon drink. The bed was comfortable. We very much enjoyed our stay here and would definitely come back.
