We really liked the unit. The views were great from the balcony of the mountains down to the ocean. Areas of improvement are recommended as followed: a) The bed was terribly uncomfortable. It was comparable to sleeping on a rock with a plastic covering. b) There was black mold in both of the air vents.

Host was unresponsive after we checked in. In fact never responded and we stayed 8 days. Bed in master bedroom needs replaced. The mattress is so lumpy the floor is more comfortable. Terrible that they would keep a mattress like this.

This property is absolutely stunning. I literally broke down in tears when we first looked out the window. The beauty of the location, the landscape, and the condo itself were breathtaking. Only issue may have been that it was difficult to go out on excursions... because we were already standing in arguably the best spot on the island. We also felt very cared for and communication with the owner was excellent.

Everything about our stay was amazing. Jim’s communication was excellent, the check-in process was smooth, the unit was very clean and well stocked and the location couldn’t be better. My family has stayed at many locations in the area and this one is at the very top of our list.

Place was great. Awesome view. I communicated with owner before going and she said she had left chairs and umbrella in may. There were no chairs but that was okay. We ended up buying some from Costco and bringing them home we could use hotels because waves were so big they weren’t letting guests use them. The umbrella was there but broken. We managed to use it sort of but by the end of the week too windy to use. Kitchen was well stocked with all what we needed to cook. Bed very nice and couch and everything nice. Would stay there again as we loved he view and our friends also stay in same tower. We love the whaler.

The penthouse view was absolutely stunning- loved watching the wave action and turtles swimming back and forth, sometimes startling swimmers above them! Enjoyed eating out on the lanai and kitchen had everything we could possibly need. Our family of 5 thoroughly enjoyed our time there- wished we could have stayed longer!!

Cindy was the best host we've had in forever. The condo is perfect. I wanted to sleep on the lanai every night but headquarters wouldn't let me. The location is absolutely perfect. We will be back soon.

This was the most amazing property. We loved it so much. We did not want to leave. It was extremely clean with a nice furnishings. The bed was comfortable, and the bathrooms had all the amenities. But by far the view and closeness to the ocean were the best part. It had a wraparound lanai and we spent every evening watching the sunset on it. The directions were clear and we appreciated the beach accessories. We look forward to returning to this property.

We really enjoyed our stay at this condo at the Whaler, Such an amazing spot, especially as a corner unit, we loved have both doors cracked for excellent air flow, not to mention the view of the water AND the mountains. Added bonus was the blow up air mattress so our two (grown) "kids" had plenty of room, along with the pull out couch. We also loved having use of the Tommy Bahama chairs, another nice surprise. Really helpful having two full bathrooms. We also appreciated the ceiling fan in the living room and the extra fan in the bedroom. We would happily stay here again, very sad to leave this slice of paradise!

We had a wonderful stay at this property. It was beautiful and well maintained, the overall condo was decorated beautifully and had large rooms. The property had breath taking views, the pool was fabulous and the staff was friendly and courteous. The manager Riley stayed in communication to our needs and was prompt on his replies. Th area was near perfect with access to 3 restaurants within a 5-minute walk. The Whaler village provided us with shopping, entertainment and access to quick replenishment on necessities. We will pass on rave reviews to our family and friends and definitely will be back.

This is our second time staying at this property, and we love it! The location cannot be beat, with views of the pool, the beach, and black rock with sunsets beyond. Close proximity to Whaler Village. The furnishings inside the unit are comfortable. Management and owners are responsive and communicative. Very clean.

The pictures are accurate. We had a lot of space for the four of us. I enjoyed being able to wash laundry during the trip. I was worried that not having an ocean view from the living area might be a bummer, but the mountains were lovely, and we saw several rainbows. When I woke up in the morning, I could see the ocean from bed in the master suite. The balcony is six times the size of the smaller units, and we had coffee out there each morning to watch the boats.The condo is right next to the side of Whaler's Village. This made for easy access to pop into ABC for anything we needed. There is even a back walkway shortcut, where you can use your key. There was some beeping and noise from deliveries, but also the view is ocean, birds, and landscaping. The units on the other side faced inward and hundreds of units. I think this is a good trade-off. It's just steps away from the beach for swimming, and I recommend taking one of the snorkel tours that pick you up right next to the condo. We had a blast. This is a great location. There are a few small shopping areas within a few minutes. We ate at the food trucks, and it was delicious. We also were able to go to a craft fair, located near Ross, and pick up some souvenirs. We went to the Tropical Plantation tour for the second time and went to the Old Lahaina Luau, which is only a few miles away. Thank you so much for your attention to detail.

This property is absolutely amazing! It is right on the beach, and they include beach, chairs, beach, umbrellas, and ice chest. It was wonderful having a full kitchen and washer and dryer! We loved going out on the balcony in the morning and enjoying the beautiful view And Cooling wind. The weather was pretty warm, but we had amazing air-conditioning inside the condo. The host was very responsive and even allowed us to have a late checkout on our last day, since our flight home wasn’t until 9 o’clock that night, and we had two babies with us. It was very convenient to rent cribs from Maui On The Fly, and they delivered them and set them up in the condo for us before we arrived! We could walk right down the beach to Black rock which had great snorkeling! We were able to get free beach towels at the pool and turn them in for a clean one every day! We would definitely book it again!

The location of this property was amazing! It was very pricey for this condo, but absolutely worth it for our family. Wonderful to have a full kitchen and washer and dryer, though you may want to bring more laundry pods with you. We got free beach towels from the pool that we could return every day and get a clean one. You could walk down the beach near the black rock to great snorkeling. And we also were able to walk to our luau at the Sheraton. it was pretty humid and warm, but we had wonderful air conditioning. Sitting out on the balcony usually there was a great breeze! don’t try to do an Instacart delivery from the Costco, they kept delaying us so we finally canceled

Wonderful stay as first time Condo accommodations. Perfect for family of 4 how need to spread out more.Description is AS IS on website and the host and his housekeeper were great and quick at all communication.The one and only request is room desktops and kitchen appeared a bit dusty with some crumbs. Could be a bit cleaner other than that.. Excellent stay!!!We will definitely go back!
July 2026
This condo is an absolute gem! The location simply can't be beat, and the ocean views and sunsets were incredible every single evening. We loved being on a lower floor—it was so easy to take the stairs instead of waiting for the elevator, making trips to the beach and Whalers Village effortless.The condo was exactly as advertised: spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed, from kitchen essentials to beach gear. It truly felt like a home away from home. The hosts were wonderful—responsive, welcoming, and great to work with throughout our stay.We were genuinely sad to leave and are already talking about our next trip back. If you're looking for the perfect place to stay in Kāʻanapali, this is it. Highly recommend!

The property was not the view I expected. There wasn’t enough plates or bowls, garbage can the size of a waste paper basket, sheets in master bedroom were too small, several lamps without light bulbs, toilet in master bath room didn’t flush well, the screen to go out slider looking towards mountains wouldn’t slide and the telephone didn’t work either. I would not recommend this unit to anyone nor would I use it again

Having been an ‘interval child’ for several decades of The Whaler (but Mom and Dad sold it in the late 90’s), we knew what to expect. We were not disappointed. The unit being on the 12th (top) floor, the views are just stunning. The unit easily accommodated four adults and two children very comfortably. The Whaler property as a whole has been very well maintained and redone in some areas. The staff are so friendly and helpful. We cried leaving and started planning our return while still there.The Whaler’s Village next door has really made a come back. We were impressed with the condition of the facility and the quality of the stores and restaurants. The newest member of the restaurant family, The Monkeypod Grill, was excellent. On the other side of The Whaler, sits the Maui Brewing Co., which we also enjoyed.Lastly, Lahaina has started to rebuild! We attended the first event held around the Banyan Tree Friday night. Mixed emotions, but very inspiring.

The place was great for our family of 4. one sliding door was broken so we couldn’t use it, but it was fine. The one off the bedroom got stuck a lot but it worked. View was perfect, decor was great, super homey and comfortable. There was a broken fan in the closet but we brought our own. The owners communication great!
