Location: This is a great spot in terms of proximity to nearby beaches, shops and restaurants (everything was either walkable or <10 min away).

A wonderful place to stay. You could not be closer to the water unless you were in it. Every morning we enjoyed whales and turtles. It is exactly as the pictures show. Enjoy your stay!

Our unit was pretty much perfect. We had a few small issues but Parrish responded immediately - which was even more impressive because it was New Years Days. We had a great stay and will return. Thank you.

We sure enjoyed our stay. Beautiful balcony view. Saw dolphins, whales and turtles from the balcony. The place had plenty of space, nice to have the 2 1/2 baths. We appreciated all the extras, binoculars, beach chairs & cooler. We definitely would stay again!

This Condo was well stocked with everything you need for your vacation. Location is amazing. Views are to die for. The unit was comfortable with a lot of fans when you needed them. Pool is nice and quiet. Property management company made the process trouble free. Thank you!

Excellent well-appointed property with spectacular ocean views. Sadly, could experience sunsets from our balcony but still an excellent short holiday location

Overall this is a great location in Poipu. The lanai is beautiful and creates a perfect place to watch sunset, sunrise and the ocean. The condo is spacious with many great amenities. Highly recommend but be aware of the below before you book:
1. This condo does not have air conditioning. We missed this in the listing and the reviews didn’t mention. Not a huge issue if you are used to sleeping in 75-80 degree rooms. During the day the condo was very warm. There are several fans but we found ourselves still warm. Sleeping was tough and being on the first floor, we did not feel comfortable leaving the patio doors open at night. I would guess the rooms were 75-80 degrees each night.
2. There is quite a bit of construction at the moment. We were made aware that the pool was being resurfaced during our stay and prepared for that. However, we did not know that many of the condos are having windows replaced and possibly other repairs. They actually replaced the windows in our condo during our stay and we were not told. Not sure if they entered our condo or replaced them from the outside, but would have liked to be notified beforehand. This also left a strong caulk/paint smell in the condo.
Make no mistake, the condo is great and the location is wonderful. Just a few minor hiccups that made it less than 5 star for us.

Interior is a bit dated. Curtains to lanai had dry rot and need to be replaced. Oven was not working. Microwave display was burned out. Kitchen faucet and master bath drain needed repairs. Repairs to kitchen faucet and bathroom drain were done promptly. They were unable to fix oven or microwave. 5 stars because location is hard to beat.

Whalers Cove is an unparalleled location for a completely relaxing vacation. Unit 113 is a charming, unassuming unit with a wonderful lanai from which to listen to the crashing waves and watch the wildlife. The beautiful azure pool and surrounding deck at the point of the property allowed for turtle watching, sunning and quick dips to cool off. What a wonderful stay. We look forward to returning.

Whalers Cove is an amazing place. The views of the Pacific and the lava flow rocks in front of the condo are indescribably beautiful. You couldn't ask for a more stunning setting. The condo we stayed in was comfortable, clean, with pretty much everything we needed during our stay. Being able to walk out the back sliding door in the morning, sit on the lanai and experience such a beautiful place was incredible.

Very clean unit. When we weren't out and about we enjoyed spending our time sitting out on the Lanai taking in the view of the ocean and sea life. One morning while drinking our coffee we watched a pod of Dolphins jumping and surfing in on the waves. The one downfall, no air conditioning. But if not an issue for you it's a nice place to stay on Kauai.

This is my second time staying at this amazing condo. I had such a great time I brought my sisters with me this time.🌺 We spent a week of fun in the sun and touring the island.The condo is beautiful and so comfortable. We spent time lounging inside the condo, out on the lanai overlooking the beautiful ocean and time in the gorgeous pool. The condo has everything that you need for inside comfort, beach time and pool time. The only thing you need to bring is food to fill up the refrigerator. The location is perfect. It has many great restaurants and shopping centers centrally located. I can’t wait to come back.🌈🏝️

We arrived late at night and went straight to bed. When we woke up in the morning, all of us were giddy with excitement over the view. We didn’t realize how luxurious this place was going to be. The condo had all the amenities you would need for vacation. Amazing views. Did I mention the views? I brought my 82 your old mother, my 13 year old daughter, and my husband and I. There was something for all of us. My husband and daughter loved going swimming in the swimming pool every day. The whole family would go visit the turtles on the property daily. The condo is close walking distance to the mall which we frequented for dinners and shopping. Close by is also a little beach that is really quaint and perfect for families. We will definitely come visit again. Thank you so much for providing such a wonderful place in paradise to come visit. We did not see a single ant :-)

This condo was incredible - the oceanfront view from the balcony and master bedroom/ bath....it's hard to put into words how amazing this view is. We saw turtles all hours of the day and were lucky enough to see dolphins in the morning. The pool and hot tub were a huge hit with the kids and it was never overly crowded. Location is perfect, with plenty of things within walking distance - stores and shopping center with a few restaurants. We can't wait to come back some day!

This was our second time here; We love staying in Elena’s condo. It is very comfortable and a true home way from home. The kitchen is well outfitted with Keurig pods, olive oil, spices, Ziploc‘s, etc. I don’t believe that there is a better located condo anywhere in Poipu/Koloa. Whalers Cove is very quiet and relaxed. Just a great place to stay.

I will start with the positives. The view was amazing! The unit itself is beautiful. The beds were comfortable and the condo well appointed. It was close to a wonderful shopping center and beach.The negatives-there is no air conditioning downstairs. When you come home mid afternoon this was rough. There are units in both bedrooms. The pillows are not comfortable. We had a major ant infestation in the upstairs bedroom in the bathroom. There was no food in that room. It was on the last day and it was in ALL of our stuff. It took over an hour to clean it out of everything and when I tried to call and get our 10 am time extended; no one answered the phone! I would not stay here again. There are so many other option on the island.

We had a wonderful stay. This is a property away from the larger resorts, and the architectural design gave us stunning views and a sense of having a very private stay. The unit itself was excellent, and even though we had a brief plumbing problem and the washer malfunctioned, the Parrish Group that manages the property were very prompt and professional in fixing them. We would definitely stay here again.

This adjoining (by the lanai) 2-unit condo was a perfect fit for our family! Plenty of room-but in the mornings for coffee & breakfast and evenings for drinks & conversation, we would all congregate in the larger unit, which fit us all comfortably!
The view was absolutely gorgeous!!! Walking distance to Baby Beach and general location of condo was close to many stops & shops! The pool was beautiful, but the day we arrived the swells were so huge that the waves were crashing over the rocks and flooded the pool with sea water and sand. This caused a weeks worth of attention and work on the pool which also meant that the pool was closed until they got it back in working order. On our last full day there, they were finally able to open the pool! YAY!!! We took full advantage of it and enjoyed it for hours!
All in all, we were so impressed and in love with our stay that no one wanted to leave! But really, who ever wants to leave Paradise?

We stayed at Whaler's Cove #113 as 2 couples who choose a trip every year together. This unit was a great fit for our Kauai vacation! We enjoyed every morning on the patio overlooking the ocean drinking Mimosas and eating breakfast. The view is spectacular and even if it rains the patio is covered. We could walk everyday to Lawa'i Beach next to Beach House Restaurant. Easy access down 4-5 stairs to the unit. The manager was in contact with us through our stay and welcomed us with fresh flowers. The pool is amazing and so is the view! We would highly recommend this unit to others and hope to return soon!
