We were very pleasantly surprised at how nice the place was.

We have stayed at the Whaler multiple times and have always enjoyed our stays. Checking in is always welcoming and any issues are always addressed. The unit was clean and well stock. Clean towels and trash pickup was provided every few days. We plan future trips at the Whaler.

We loved our view, and convenience to food, bars, beach, parking. Only thing we didn’t like were the huge bed pillows! Got a stiff neck!

Really wonderful unit and location in the building. Our daughter loved just being able to run out the patio doors and race around on the grass. The extras like the beach chairs, umbrellas and cooler made it super easy for us to go enjoy other areas of the island as well. Would gladly stay here again in the future.

This was a beautiful condo in an amazing location. We loved our stay here! The condo was very spacious, well equipped. The property was fantastic, we manicured, cared for, perks like beach chairs and a nice pool/hot tub. We even did yoga on the lawn and bingo- both offered by the property. Staff were kind and fun. It was a superior experience!

Overall, our unit was good, and we'd stay in it again, but there are a couple of maintenance items that do need to be addressed. There are four fluorescent lights in the kitchen, and two of them are out. They could not get them working, possibly because they were too old or because the ballasts needed to be replaced.The refrigerator has no ice maker, so there's a portable one on the counter. That is the minimum level to be acceptable, but in our case, it was rapidly failing day by day. When the unit would cycle, it was terribly noisy. As our two weeks continued, it got louder & louder each day. The TV was not close at all to the ice maker, but the ice maker got so loud that we had to pause the TV until the noisiest portion of the cycle ended, and then we could resume watching. It was highly annoying. They took it away when the maintenance man came to fix it, and he said he'd bring a replacement. The replacement was also broken, so instead, they brought us a bag of ice. As I initially said, despite those two issues, we liked the unit, and we'd stay in it again.

Our host-Judy was great. The beach view from the Lanai was great. Lots of activity to watch. The barbecue areas were most disappointing. The pool was a little small for the size of the property. They should install a kidding pool.

There isn't a better condo on Kanapali Beach. We were traveling with my 88-year-old mom, who cant walk long distances. The location and access to the beach, pool, and BBQ area were exactly what we needed; it was like having all that in our backyard. Even though it is close to the beach walk, it feels private and quiet. I loved hearing the waves at night, and besides the bathrooms, you have a beautiful view of the ocean or Black Rock from every angle in every room. I was pleasantly surprised to find it stocked with basic spices and oils, and random things that are useful and I didn't need to purchase. I really can't say enough about how much we loved it. It was clean and the beds were comfortable, they provided extra towels and beach towels. Another surprise was finding a closet full of beach gear, including three chairs, a boogie board, noodles, kid toys, and coolers. We didn't need it, but they had cribs, strollers, and little beach chairs for the kids. We will be back. (and I can't wait to come back and use the kids' stuff when the grandbabies finally arrive!) Its perfect for famlies. Sliding glass doors up to a huge grass area for them to get their energy out!

I’ve stayed at the Whaler for many years and the ground floor rentals are always the best! This studio has everything you need and direct access to the beach just steps away. Parking is really easy and private. There’s pickle ball and tennis available as well as beach amenities and a great concierge to help plan. This apartment is clean and comfortable and spacious! We will definitely be back again soon!

We really like the complex and have stayed there before, and while we were generally satisfied with the condo, we were disappointed with two things. The view from the lanai of the whaler’s village restaurant roofs and smells, and second, the master bathroom was a bit dated and the washing machine was out of order and I had to fix the toilet.

The staff at The Whaler, from the men and women at the gate to the housekeeping staff to the front desk staff are the best. Very welcoming and helpful. The room is spacious and very clean and comfortable. The room and just about the whole property has one of the best beach views that I've ever seen. It's a beautiful sight to wake up to. The full kitchen makes the whole stay seem like home away from home. Very great vacation every time we stay here.

This was my 1st trip to Hawaii and Maui didn't disappoint. We chose this condo unit after looking at numerous others and it was perfect. The communication with the owner was very good. Anything we needed, etc he replied to quickly.One of my favorite things was the notes he sent with information on transportation options with names, phone numbers & emails, lists of restaurants and numerous others things he thought we might need to make our stay more enjoyable. I would recommend this condo to anyone looking to stay in this area.

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.
