Special Note: I have availability from check in on April 20, 2024 until check out on May 5, 2024 for guests who would like to reserve a long stay. . Welcome! Have a seat on my outdoor lanai, perched on the 10th floor of the Whaler Condominiums on Maui’s Ka'anapali Beach. This spot brings you a panoramic vantage point for the sparkling sea and beckoning beach in front of you, the lush green mountain range and golf course to your left, and the island of Lanai. This Ka'anapali Beach Vacation Rental opens views rarely seen elsewhere!

These views are the reason I bought this place over 20 years ago and never looked back. Guests love it, too, and tell me they spend hours on the lanai, relaxing in our chairs and watching the changing light, from sunrise to sunset.

At the outdoor dining table on the lanai, sample a Hawaiian pupu (an appetizer plate of local goodies like tempura vegetables and skewers of chicken and fish), and watch the lights of the old Lahaina whaling port glimmer in the distance as the sun sinks into the Pacific.

This is paradise--and one example of what awaits you at Whaler 1063.

Our studio condo with king-sized bed is intimate, comfortable, and keeps everything you need close at hand, including kitchen supplies and a collection of beach goodies like lounge chairs, beach umbrellas, and picnic coolers.

We also provide a cable linked television with DVR, wireless Internet, an étagère with Hawaiian artifacts and a small library of books. The kitchen and bathroom are newly remodeled.

The Whaler, where the unit is housed, provides many resort-style amenities for an active couple, including direct access to the beach, a heated pool and Jacuzzi, tennis courts, an exercise facility, a concierge, and ocean-side barbeques for beachfront dining.

And, for adventurers ready to explore, there are dozens of options nearby, including some of the best snorkeling and scuba diving on Maui, helicopter tours, golf courses, ferry, bicycle trips down Haleakala, horseback riding in the upcountry, wineries, luaus, and moonlight dinner cruises leaving from Ka'anapali Beach. You won’t want to leave.

As your host, I’m happy to help. Feel free to come to me with questions or for suggestions of Maui’s best activities.

Many of my guests are repeat guests—some of them came here first for their honeymoon and now return year after year for their anniversaries. That says something great about their experiences at my condo, and I think you’ll agree.

I hope you’ll take some time and visit here in paradise. To book your dates, get in touch today by phone, or by clicking the booking button at the right—the calendar is filling fast!

There is no deposit fee. All stays incur a cleaning fee of $120.

There is availability from checkin on April 20, 2024 until checkout on May 1,2024 if you wish a longer stay.

You can reserve dates up to December 31, 2025.

Beautiful ocean and golf course views looking over Whalers Village. Great location on Kaanapali beach by black rock and right next to shopping and restaurants at Whalers Village. Watch the snorkel cruise boats pull up on shore from the Lanai.

Everything was fine…..only complaint is the noise and smell from Whalers Village air conditioning unit and restaurants. Was a bit annoying sitting on lanai….but it was a beautiful view! Unit is a little outdated…..but that’s a minor complaint. Overall….I recommend!

We had a magnificent time staying at Bill's condo for my wife's birthday. The view is incredible, the room is amazing, and the location is unbeatable. It's right on the beach with restaurants and shopping right next door. Bill is easy to get in touch with, helpful, and an excellent host. Absolutely would stay here again!

My husband and I loved this condo! Great location and wonderful views from the lanai! Even saw whales spouting in the distance one evening! Being on the 10th floor made for great views both directions! The Bose radio was wonderful to have to listen to music while we prepared food and ate meals. Great added touch! The condo was very clean and equipped well! Loved having the beach chairs and ESPECIALLY the beach umbrellas! There was some noise from the businesses below but didn’t bother us to much. The bed was very comfortable! Would definitely stay here again! Thank you for making our first trip to Hawaii comfortable and relaxing!

We spent 11 nights in this cozy condo, waking up to the sound of the ocean. Close to near by restaurants. Best of both worlds.

We stayed here as part of our honeymoon in Hawaii that covered 3 islands. The stay here was the best VRBO we have stayed at. Nothing negative at all. Such a beautiful condo in a amazing location right on the beach. Never got in the car till it was time to go. Beach all day, shopping and dining right there to walk to. This will be a place we return to many times. Thank you so much for the memories.

My fiance and I thoroughly enjoyed our time spent at the Whaler. Bill is a very responsive, helpful, friendly host. The Whaler's lanai has views that are outstanding. The property was clean and everyone was friendly. It exceeded our expectations! We will definitely be back.

My boyfriend and I stayed at Bill's property prior to attending a work event at the Westin next door. The location, room, and view were perfect! My favorite part about our stay was hanging out on the balcony (or lanai) watching the boats go by. You can hear the live music from the Hula Grill which made me feel like I was a part of the action. You can also hear the A/C units from the Whalers Village which didn't bother me, but know it would bother some people. The location made it easy to visit the beach, watch the sunsets, and walk to shopping and dining. The staff was very welcoming and the room felt like our home away from home. Although we enjoyed our stay at the Westin, we have already been talking about going back to Bill's property and have recommended it to several family members. Thanks for everything, Bill!

My husband and I stayed in 1063 for our 10 year anniversary and it was absolutely perfect. The condo was clean and inviting with a beautiful lanai where we sipped our coffee in the mornings and watched the beautiful sunsets in the evenings. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and there was plenty of beach of beach gear (chairs, umbrella and boogie board). The owner was quick to respond if we had any questions and a pleasure to work with. We will be back!

Lovely view of the beach. The condo was clean and stocked with all the cooking and cleaning equipment we needed to prepare our own meals from scratch. The owner, housekeeper, and front desk clerks were friendly and attentive. Boogie boards, umbrellas, and beach chairs came in handy!

Bill was sooo easy to book with the process was seamless from start to finish. The condo was just perfect for the two of us. Location is amazing, don’t think you could have a better view truly beautiful. We would definitely rent this condo again if we will be lucky enough to return to Maui again. Thank you Bill for allowing us to book with you!

This place was perfect for us. Had everything we needed, and was located in an ideal spot with access to shopping, restaurants, excursions/activities all without needing to drive. We had a car to check out the rest of the island of course, and parking was a breeze. The facilities overall were excellent, staff all friendly and accomodating. The condo fit the bill (no pun intended) for us. More than enough space, internet was good, bed was amazing, bathroom was great and the lanai became our favourite spot to eat breakfast and take in a view of the early morning activities. When we return, this will be the first place we try to book.

My wife grew up in San Diego, so when my parents surprised us with a honeymoon in Maui, my wife was a little concerned. Shoe would say, "I grew up going to the beach." While San Diego is nice, it does not compare with the beauty of Maui. The condo was absolutely perfect. The view on the lanai gave us the option of watching the sunrise over the mountains or watch the sunset over the ocean. The beach was pristine. The Whaler gave us the flexibility to eat some of our meals in the condo which allowed us to splurge on some nicer meals. The boardwalk is a perfect way to spend the day exploring the othe properties. Any of the poolside bars are excellent for a refreshment. Another perk is the easy availability of sailboat cruises that pick you up right in front of the Whaler. We did a sunset cruise and a snorkel cruise. If you are looking at this propoerty, just book it. Don't look any farther. Bill was a great host and the communication from him was 100% perfect.

Overall, fantastic stay! Location is spectacular. The place is very clean. Communication was great. Only note is the lanai overlooks Whalers Village. This is mostly a plus, because of all the conveniences. However, their are two restaurants right below the unit with commercial exhaust fans blowing most of the day/night. And, in the am, their were a number of trucks (backing in) to make deliveries. While it was not as serene as we’d hoped, it was still an awesome place and the smells from the restaurants were fantastic! :) Would definitely stay again.

We had a wonderful stay. The view is awesome and it is close to restaurants and shops. Bill, the owner was great about communicating with us. It is very well stocked and even has beach chairs, an umbrella, boogie boards and a cooler for you to use. Would definitely rent again.

This is my favorite property I’ve ever stayed at. Bill’s property has everything you need to have the best time in paradise (beach chairs, beach umbrellas, coolers, etc.). My favorite part was waking up and enjoying the amazing view from the lanai every morning. Watching the sunset from the lanai is also amazing! Can’t wait to visit Maui again and stay here!

The condo was clean, had everything we needed for our four night stay, and provided the best location with a beautiful view from the lanai! Highly recommend!

We are so glad we stayed here! The location is absolutely perfect for West Maui. It is located directly on the beach; so, you simply need to walk outside the building and you're there. It's also located directly next to the Whaler's Village, which is full of little shops and eateries; so, you always have plenty of options. Plus, the sun sets on this side of the island; so, we always had a front row view of the beautiful colors at night. The unit was great too, and we very much appreciated the beach chairs, umbrellas, and boogie boards, as well as the comfy bed and the AC. Bill was great too and communicated everything clearly and professionally. We would highly recommend staying here, and we hope to return again someday in the future. Mahalo, Bill!

Whaler 1063 is in a fantastic location with great views of both the ocean and the mountains. We loved the beach, pool, and nearby restaurants. So glad we were able to spend our honeymoon here!

We loved our stay here! The host was very informative and kind and gave us frequent updates about the property. We loved having access to coolers, boogie boards, beach chairs, and umbrellas. The view was also fantastic!! We loved watching the sunrise and sunset everyday. Plenty of shops nearby and activities with a beautiful beach down below. The only thing I wish the condo would’ve had were beach towels. But those weren’t hard to go purchase at target. Stay here if you’re looking for a relaxing beautiful view!!

The owner was very responsive and provided a level of personalized and timely communication I have not experienced before with VRBO. The lanai has a great view as well as protection from the wind and sun. The unit had everything we needed including bbq and kitchen utensils as well as beach chairs, umbrellas, and boogie boards. The bed was comfortable. I can’t wait to stay again!

Could not ask for a better view. Perfect spot for everything, all within walking distance. Fantastic dining, water sports, walks on the beach, and beautiful sunsets. The condo grounds are impeccable. Staff is awesome and the guys at the pool desk, we great. Unit has everything you need. Full kitchen you don’t have with a hotel room, that is great for quick meals. We would book this unit again in a heartbeat.



September 2018
From the moment we pulled up to The Whaler we were greeted with smiles and lei's. The staff could not have been more helpful and accommodating. We passed through the lush green courtyard to Bill's 10th floor unit and were immediately in awe of the view - you can hear the birds chirp as soon as you open the double sliders. The unit was clean and had everything you could possibly need for a Hawaii getaway. We didn't use the pool much, since you are literally on one of the best beaches!! Bill has some beach chairs that came in handy during our stay. There is a small gym, day spa, concierge and ample garage parking. It was nice being so close to The Whaler Village; MonkeyPod makes a mean Mai Tai! You're also right next to black rock for snorkeling/cliff jumping if you're the adventurous type. Lahaina Front Street is a hop, skip and a jump away with the most adorable shopping, restaurants, and activities. Undoubtedly, we will be back!

This condo is nicely kept, clean condo with the owner providing some nice amenities such as beach chair & beach parasol for the condo users to use when they go out to a beach. The bedding was very comfortable, and ligting system in the condo worked well. Free washer & dryer just outside of the condo is very convenient, and the owner provided detergint pods for cloth washing as well as dish washing. AC worked out efficiently, and so does all the appliances. All in all, I would highly recommend this condo. At the end of my stay (this is the first time that I rented directly from the owner without ever referring to VRBO previously), as I searched VRBO for a comparable condo's with ocean views at the Whalers, I did find several other ocean view condo's in high floors with lower pricing than this unit- I should note this for what it is worth. I would say , though, that my experience with the owner, Dr. Bill Rudolph, was a wonderful experience, always straight, no games, and prompt with responses.

We loved staying at the Whaler. It really is the best location, right in front of a great beach for snorkeling or enjoying the sun and sand. The Whaler property seems to be recently redone, was clean and fresh. All the staff was polite. We liked that there was a washer/dryer for use (and free!) on our floor. The Whaler 1063 unit was clean and furnished with all the necessary amenities plus some. We were glad there were two beach umbrellas. We will definelty stay in the Whaler again in the future!

Condo 1063 is the perfect vacation getaway. We enjoyed the sunrise every morning with coffee on our lanai. The views are amazing! Location couldn’t be better. The AC kept the place cool when we needed it, and it felt like home immediately. Do yourself a favor and book this!

Our condo was clean and had the most beautiful to view of the ocean on one side and amazing mountain scapes on other side. Having the beach just a few steps from the building was a dream. The shopping and restaurants were short walk to many choices and tastes. We felt very secure and the customer service was excellent. We would recommend this condo to all our friends. Thank you, The Almendares Family

We have stayed in a number of different condos at the Whaler over 39 years. This tied with one other for the best combination of value and beauty. The condo is very clean and nicely decorated. The views are spectacular. The owner provides a great amount of information to the client. If you are a first time visitor this would be very helpful. If you are a swimmer and new to Maui, the swimming beach from the Whaler down to Black Rock is the best I have every seen. Very safe and the water is clear, and you never no when a giant sea turtle might swim under you. I highly recommend this condo and this location.

This property couldn't be any better. Elevators were quick, so hardly any wait from the 10th floor. Condo was so well stocked, did not need the spices we bought. Near everything. Refreshing pool, have your own beach chairs! Plenty of space to fit all our belongings. Free washer and dryer with soap and dryer sheets provided. Dishwasher with soap provided. Perfect! Our favorite happy hours were at Hula Grill and Duke's. Breakfast at the Gazebo-but be in line by 7ish! Dinners we loved were at the Sea House and Halii Maile. Have done both sunrise and sunset at Haleakala and neither is more beautiful! With sunset, you don't have to get up at 2am!!! Definitely recommend Whaler 1063!

This was not our first stay in this unit, and we certainly hope to visit again. The owner is terrific to work with and does everything possible to make your holiday perfect. Our goal was to have a relaxing beach holiday, and this unit is perfect as it provided beach chairs and a very good beach umbrella as well as a cooler and a number of paperback books. The kitchen is well stocked with all the appliances you need, the king size bed is extremely comfortable, the television is excellent with a large number of channels, and the unit is very nicely decorated. The unit has a terrific view overlooking Whalers Village and the ocean. Watching the sunset from the lanai and listening to the music from the nearby restaurants can not be beaten. The Whaler condo complex has a library as well, and also contains a spa and exercise room, beach towel service, morning coffee and afternoon iced tea in both the lobby and the pool area. This is all included in the resort fee. Whalers Village has shopping from high end to stores for budget conscious shoppers. There are a number of restaurants and a small food court if you don't want to cook, and the ABC store has a small grocery section, as well as a selection of alcoholic beverages in addition to their regular supply of souvenirs, clothing and beach supplies. Nearby hotels a few minutes walk away also have restaurants and small shops in them. Whalers Village has undergone a few changes in the past couple of years, and there is now a climbing structure for children located on the lower level where the stage used to be. There are often still performances in the area as in the past. Historic Lahaina is only a short drive or a $2 bus ride away. And a $4 daily bus pass allows you to travel almost anywhere in Maui. We very highly recommend booking this unit if you are holidaying in Maui. You will not be disappointed!

This was my husband and my second trip to Maui and first time staying at a VRBO/Homeaway property. We were a little nervous that we might miss the hotel amenities that we had our first trip 4 years ago (we stayed at the Hyatt for our honeymoon) but in fact, it was just the opposite. This property had a nicer beach area, on-site rental access to paddleboards, snorkel gear, etc. and amazing restaurants and shopping right next door. The owners are very quick to respond if you have questions and have the place fully stocked with beach chairs, mats, coolers, etc. Also have a hair dryer and curling iron so save yourself the space packing! There is a beautiful pool area and never had an issue getting 2 chairs together - even the covered ones which I thought would be difficult to nab. We definitely plan to come back to Maui and would happily stay at this property again and pack half as much. There is a free washer/dryer on each floor although we did not end up using it. We also had a friend island hop over here to visit us and she was able to park at The Whaler as our guest for free all day. Overall, truly excellent experience. Highly recommended. One last thing - the view is unbeatable. You might think you want to face the ocean but this stunning balcony displayed breathtaking mountain views to the left and beautiful ocean views to the right. I wouldn't change a thing.
