When we arrived there was a power outage, as soon as I landed at the airport I received a text from the host asking when I was arriving and explained about power outage. Explained the unit was cleaned and they had left a flashlight in the unit in case the power was still out when we arrived. After checking in the power was on and found hand written notes about the unit, nice touch. We had a great stay and would recommend to anyone wanting to stay on Kaanapali Beach.

Birthday / Anniversary Trip

Had a great time with my husband. It was perfect being next to Whalers Village. Free parking was a plus. Loved all the amenities, full kitchen, washer/dryer, beach items, hair dryer and iron. Thank you Doug for your quick responses. We would definitely love to stay again.

Wow. This property was amazing. For a VRBO, it had everything you need for a comfortable beach vacation. The host thought of it all, from beach chairs, snorkel gear, bag coolers, and even a Brita water filter for the room. The kitchenette had everything you need. There was even tide pods to use. Communication with the host was incredibly easy as was the check in process. As for The Whaler itself, you are minutes away from The Whaler Village with a plethora of food options and fun beach bars. I would recommend this VRBO to anyone looking for a relaxing Maui getaway. We will definitely be back.

The location of the Whaler cannot be beat. The beaches in front of the property are awesome for snorkeling. There are excellent restaurants within walking distance eliminating the need to drive. The sunset sailboats pick you up right in front of the property as well. The unit itself had everything you need to enjoy your stay. Beach chairs, snorkeling gear, cooler, and an umbrella. This is the first time I stayed in this unit but the third time I have stayed at the whaler. Great unit and property.

It was a very nice unit. We would stay there again. The refrigerator didn’t get very cold so our water and soda wasn’t very cold. The only other downside was there was only one boogie board and it was cracked. Other than that it had everything we needed for a wonderful vacation.
