Host was great with communication!! Room was smaller than expected. Sunsets not visible from the room this time of year. Overall great property and great location
The view is amazing and location of this place make it worth staying here already. The place is also super clean and is easy to check in to. Loved our time here!
Property was very clean and super well appointed. All you need is groceries. Lovely bedding, towels, free laundry facilities, and excellent communication with cleaning staff. Slight problem at the beginning of our stay that was quickly and graciously resolved. We will definitely stay here again.
What a wonderful, relaxed time we had at this property. It was exactly as advertised, even better. It was a bit smaller than most VRBO's we rent (think really nice, upscale hotel) but well worth the price paid. The location on the island was perfect and the whale watching was just amazing.
We would absolutely stay here again.
We loved the views, the sound of the ocean, sitting on the deck with our coffee and just plain meeting with God! Jim was great to work with. Hope to come and stay again! Thank you!

Thank you so much Dori,
I'm so glad you guys had such a great time on vacation and really enjoyed the unit!
YES, this unit is a little "slice of heaven". :)
I look forward to having you guys back again soon.
Warmest aloha.

This is the perfect condo for us. It is on the 10th floor of The Whaler. Tower two. Near the elevators, and washers and dryers. Great view of black rock which was the main reason we booked this one. You can't beat the location. Perfect spot on Kaanapali Beach! Walking distance to everything you need! Will definitely book again! The owner Jim was great. He answered all the questions. Condo had tons of extras like chairs, umbrellas, boards, and snorkel gear with fins that saved us from renting.
Had such a lovely time! About 40% of Whalers Village was open but we were grateful for that. The room location and amenities were fantastic - didn’t need anything more! Super convenient for everything and you can’t beat the incredible view. We will definitely come back to this unit!
Our stay was wonderful. We actually ended up staying in one of the larger condos in the same building also owned by Jim.
The room was perfect. Location was perfect.
Jim was extremely responsive and helpful!
My husband and I are already talking about coming again in a couple years when our kids are older!
My only criticism is that the rooms have carpet but that is me just being picky.
I was surprised at how quiet it was here despite how many people are coming and going. We found it easy to go to bed at 8pm since we were on eastern US time. Location was superb for snorkeling of the beach- sea turtles galore- walking to eateries and driving to new places. We had no trouble getting around the island to see all the sights. Locations like beaches and trails are really not advertised and don’t have signs, so know where you want to go ahead of time. I enjoyed the 10th floor, being able to view the ocean and hills well. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen very functional. Thank you.
Terrific place to stay. Wonderful views. Great location
We enjoyed our stay here. The Whaler and its staff are awesome. It is a beautiful and well maintained property. The ppl from the front desk to the workers as well as the other guests are friendly and laid back.
The condo was spotless and had everything we needed for quick brunches to full blown dinners. Dinner from the balcony, taking in that sunset, never grows old.
It is an easy walk to Black Rock and the Sheraton where we have always enjoyed snorkeling and always found turtles somewhere around. The Whaler Village has so much going on that if you need a shopping or restaurant fix, it is right next door.
Looking forward to returning.
It is so easy to find and get into the aloha spirit here.

Whaler #1064 new reno - nice!
My husband and I stayed at the Whaler #1064 for 8 nights in November. The studio apt post-reno is modern, comfortable, breezy, with a nice open view of ka'anapali beach and the mountains. New kitchenware so it's perfect if you like to cook/entertain. 200ft from Whaler Mall with shopping, food, etc. Owner was great with communication and checked in to make sure were doing well. Even arranged for us to have a later check-out due to the usual hawaii red-eye flight. Only issue is that the trundle king size bed is heavy to lift up and down daily, not a problem for young 30 somethings but older people might find it difficult to deal with daily.Would stay again! Aloha!

Beautiful condo with everything
This condo had everything! We've stayed at other condos and needed to bring extra supplies (toilet paper, paper towels, spices, etc). Everything was supplied---aluminum foil, plastic wrap, clips for our bags of chips; they even had laundry detergent for the free washer and dryer right next door. There are three Tommy Bahama beach chairs and three Tommy Bahama umbrellas, snorkel equipment, a killer view and a very comfortable Murphy bed, so you have a lot of room in the condo as soon as it's put away each morning. The unit itself is even better than the photos. We've stayed in other units in the Whaler and this has been the most luxurious condo yet. Just show up with a small suitcase of clothes and enjoy your vacation!

The Partridge Family Reunion
We have stayed at the Whaler 8 or 9 times, in various condos but never have we enjoyed the physical comforts & ambiance as much as we did here. It was so pleasant, with a beautiful view both inside and out. The decorating is superb, it made us feel as though we were home. There's nothing like the sound of the waves & breezes to instantly make one relaxed. It is amazingly spacious despite being a studio. We just can't say enough.
The grounds have been designed & maintained so well. We are an extended family of 32, all staying at the Whaler. Twenty are grandchildren all of whom were fascinated by the Koi Pond (as were the adults.)
The pool is always perfect, and then there's the beach. The Whaler is such a great place to stay! The ocean, the climate, the proximity of restaurants & shopping, not to mention the availability of so many great activities, makes for a wonderful "home."

Property is a studio well appointed with cooking supplies, lots of spices and such . There was shampoo soap and even some sunscreen. Deck had beach chairs. The Check in was at 3pm no sooner - I was surprised that they required a 35 a day amenity fee that I had to pay before we could get keys. Not sure what amenities were? The listing describes amenities such as pool spa and parking included but no mention that we would have to pay additional over and above what was paid to host in VRBO. The carpets are dated and very stained didn’t appear very clean . The safe did not work and I re-read some past reviews stating same , so it never got fixed. The bed is a Murphy bed but was comfortable and unit was quiet even though it is the first studio right next to elevators. View was nit panoramic but nice when you sat on the deck on one side was ocean other was golf course and hills. Complex location was excellent easy walk to beach and wailers village.
This place is in the perfect spot—right next to Whalers Village in Kaanapali. You can walk along the beach path not only to Whalers Village but also to Black Rock. It couldn’t be more convenient.We were greeted by a friendly front desk team, which made a great first impression. The condo is on the 11th floor of a well-kept, upscale building. From up there, you get gorgeous ocean views to the south and peaceful green fairways to the north—really easy on the eyes.Jim, the owner, was fantastic. He responded quickly, was super polite, and made everything smooth and stress-free. He’s a true pro and pays attention to the details.As soon as we walked into the unit, we could feel how well thought out everything was. The colors, the furniture, the overall atmosphere—it felt like home right away, and our travel fatigue just disappeared.After our first night, we noticed even more thoughtful touches. There are too many to list, but here are a few standouts:Top-quality mattress and beddingSpotless and well-maintained appliances with clear instructionsHigh-grade kitchenware and dining itemsFully stocked bathroom with great towels and toiletriesSmooth Wi-Fi and charging options for smartphones, iPads, and laptopsWe’ve stayed at nearly 20 VRBOs over the years, and this is hands-down the best. It truly feels like our home away from home in Kaanapali.
