We have stayed at several different units at the Whaler, but this was the Best!! George was a very responsive host. The unit was huge for 2 people! Upon entering, the ambience was immediately created with hawaiian landscapes and music on the tv's. The special touches left by the cleaning crew was very impressive. Everything we could possibly need for a wonderful vacation was available in this unit. Will definitely book again!

Condo was just has described. We have rented at the Whaler many times and we love it. Loved the condo and would rate it definitely in the top 3 we have rented. Unfortunately, we had a medical emergency and had to leave after 3 days, thank goodness I purchased the trip insurance.. through VRBO, I will see how the process goes and report back on that.. Aston who I guess manages 619 was amazing in helping us with our medical issue.

Great week at The Whaler! The view was my absolute favorite, the lani is a substantial size for the whole family. We gave my son and daughter in law the bedroom as I’m a very early riser and wanted to be near the coffee pot without disturbing them. We found the sofa bed to be super comfy and the 2nd bathroom gave us all privacy for dressing. Already dreaming about a return visit!!

This is one of the nicest units we have ever rented. The living area and the bedroom both had plenty of room. The kitchen was well-equipped. The free washer and dryer around the corner came in handy. We had a small issue figuring out the TVs, as they work differently. But we figured it out. The view was lovely and the location is fantastic. We would stay there again.

Great condo. Very well equipped kitchen.Convenient to laundry facilities. Big comfy bed. The only negative is not with the unit, but the noise from adjacent Whaler’s Village businesses. It drove us inside at times during the day. Since we were there during a rainy week we spent more time than planned in the condo.

Perfect spot for a girls trip! Beautiful views & conveniently located. They also had beach chairs, an umbrella, wagon & snorkeling gear in the unit for us to use so we didn’t have to rent any!

James was a fabulous, friendly host and super easy to communicate with. The location and convenience of this property can’t be beat. It was such a dream to be steps away from Whaler’s Village and Kaanapali Beach. And the property was clean and well equipped and I had such a comfortable stay. Take me back!

My wife and I go to Hawaii for our anniversary each year. After discovering this unit more than ten years ago, it is always our first choice. We're already booked for next year! Our favorite activities are a minute away. Whalers Village (the main upscale shopping on Maui is next door, with two of our favorite restaurants). The best whale watch and snorkel boat tours leave from the beach right in front (you can see them in the lanai pic). You can also see Black Rock to the right, which is possibly the best beach snorkeling anywhere. You can watch humpback whales from the lanai when we go in late February. The unit's big tv is "smart", so bring your smart phone and watch your same favorite shows on the big screen as you watch at home. The unit's interior is basically new and perfect, very comfortable. We really prefer The Whaler to the better hotels for all its comforts and conveniences. When you go, ask about the "secret" door from The Whaler right into the heart of Whaler's Village -- very convenient.

This condo was so nice and tastefully decorated. The view of Blackrock was fabulous and we were pleasantly surprised that every 3 or 4 days they came and emptied our garbage, brought new towels, coffee, kleenex and toilet paper. We have stayed at other condos at the Whaler and they only provided starter essentials. We would gladly stay at this condo again. Perfect stay and we had perfect weather too!

Our stay in The Whaler 201 was amazing. The view from the lanai was absolutely amazing. The condo was very clean and well stocked. Could not ask for better! The hosts were very nice and fun to work with. Thank you for sharing your beautiful condo with us! We will be back!

First let me say the owner was the best.She communicated right away which is so helpful! I love staying at the Whaler for its location and this time as usual it did not disappoint. The kitchen was well stocked as was the rest of the condo (towels etc). Can’t lose with this one.

The best part of this rental was the proximity to Whaler’s village, the beach, golf course and a few minutes drive to Safeway. The place could use a bit more maintenance with showers and tubs they were beat up a bit and look like they had not been cleaned very well. Spoke to the host one time because spectrum cable TV was not working. I was told to contact front desk to fix it. Contacted front desk maintenance person came and was not able to fix it. I rated this place a 4 overall based on location of property.

Nicely updated, comfortable beds, beautiful property in the perfect location. Unfortunately for our stay there seemed to be some sort of roach infestation. They were the worst in the kitchen, where every time you turned on the light there were 3-4 that would scurry away in the countertops. They were also in both bathrooms and the bedroom. We’re from California so we know they are around, but this was a problem. Also, upon check in there was 1/2 roll of TP in one bathroom and none in the other. Took them three days to bring some up. Last the WiFi was down for all but the last day of our stay. Couldn’t watch movies or do the small amount of work we had to do.

The property was very nice except for the balcony doors. One didn’t close properly and both doors let in a lot of noise which made it hard to sleep. Check-in was difficult as the property manager had not alerted the desk of our reservation. Luckily the wonderful staff at the Whaler solved the issue!

Our unit was clean, very spacious and well stocked. The kitchen had everything we could need. There were plenty of beach chairs, toys, snorkel equipment, coolers, etc. We had a toddler with us, and used the provided stroller every day! There was also a washer/dryer in the unit! The location was perfect... within walking distance of shopping, eating, beach walking, etc. We had an amazing trip, and our room was exactly what we were hoping it would be! Thank you to Keith for your hospitality and immediate response to all of our questions. We loved it!

Perfect location with immediate access to pool, beach and barbecue area. Great people and beach watching spot. Clean, very well equipped and nice décor. Minor signs of age and use, but nothing to detract from your enjoyment. Responsive owners and exceptional staff at the Whaler. A great vacation spot! Hope to visit again!

Condo was very clean and well appointed. Dry food storage was difficult as no available cabinets to keep items off counter or stove top. I don’t care for clutter especially if cooking. The sofa sleeper was noisy and uncomfortable to sit on. Used available laundry once, near the elevators, which was great. Views were wonderful as we could see whales from the balcony (with our binoculars). The loading and unloading of catamarans on the beach was enjoyable to watch. It was noisy from the restaurant’s below the unit during the day. I did contact Maui Resort Rentals once with a question and they responded quickly. We enjoyed our stay very much.

We rented this for our son's family with one 9 month old infant and twin 2 year olds. The unit has great direct access to the grass courtyard area and then on to the pool and beach from the dual openings out to a large patio. It is very accessible and flexible for activities and use. The ground floor location provides great views out to the ocean. My son's family enjoyed having breakfast on the patio. The unit is in good condition and was clean. The fold out couch gave great optionality with their family. A much appreciated bonus was the included beach chairs as well as the large DVD library and games. Also appreciated the extra towel sets and abundance of pillows. The Whaler also has very easy access to local shopping and restaurants at the adjacent Whaler's Village. The host was very responsive and communicative as was the on site staff. Thank you for sharing your home with our family.

We rented this for our daughter's family with one 20 month old son. The unit is so great as it opens out to a large patio with direct access to the grass courtyard area and then on to the pool and beach. Very accessible and flexible. Even with the ground floor location, there are great views to the ocean. They (and we), enjoyed having breakfast on the patio. The unit has been upgraded from original construction and is in great condition. The fold out couch gave great optionality with there family. A much appreciated bonus was the included "pack and play". Also available which was great was the boogie boards, noodles and beach chairs. The Whaler also has very easy access to local shopping and restaurants at the adjacent Whaler's Village. The host was very responsive and communicative as was the on site staff. Thank you for sharing your home with our family.

This lovely condo is in a perfect location with beach views and easy access to Whaler Village. The kitchen was well equipped as was the bathroom. The condo is very spacious which turned out to be great because, as luck would have it, we were there when the Kona low hit all of Hawaii with torrential rain and winds causing major road damage and flooding. Julie and her property manager were very helpful communicating almost daily to make sure all was well. Although we found the rechargeable lanterns, Julie sent her property manager by to also make sure the power bank was charged and to move patio furniture to avoid damage. Due to the storm, we were stuck in the condo for the majority of 4 days. If we had been in a smaller unit we might have gone crazy, but Julie's condo is so spacious we felt comfortable as we watched the weather from large sliders in both the living and bedroom (ocean views from both). The balcony is also large so we enjoyed it and watched the whales and weather before and after the storm. She also provided lots of games and beach stuff. We had plans to use the snorkel equipment, but due to the storm we had to cancel that as well as our whale watching trip. Because the condo also overlooks Whaler's Village there will be some noise but it is so convenient to walk everywhere and the views are spectacular. The beach is long and clean and beautiful. You will enjoy a stay here and Julie is an awesome hostess!

We had a wonderful time. Unit was clean upon arrival and stocked with everything we needed including kids sand toys and extra beach chairs. Bed was comfortable and the kitchen was well appointed. Living room had a Murphy bed which we didn’t use but there was a pack and play available for our little one. Cindy was quick to communicate and check in and out were super easy. We loved being on the ground floor it made going to the pool and beach a breeze. Looking forward to our next visit thank you Cindy!
