Right in the middle of everything Kaanapali is famous for! And our studio had everything you could possibly want to have handy for fun! Very well stocked!

It's mazing how well the owner stocked the home. It couldn't be better. Deck faces trees covering back of shopping center

Really enjoyed our stay. I loved the view and being able to hear the ocean from the patio. It was a great location next to Whalers Village and quick bus ride to Lahaina . The condo was well stocked with dishes and all kinds of cookware . Condo was very clean.Washer and drier just outside in the hall . Our flight didn’t leave until late in the evening and they let us store our luggage and were able to use the pool and an available shower if we needed the whole day even after checking out . There was free coffee in the morning and iced tea and water available in the lobby and at the pool all day . It was a wonderful location so close to the beach . I would definitely recommend and would definitely stay there again.

Condo is very well maintained, comfortable and the location is great. We really enjoyed our stay here and look forward to renting this unit when we return to Maui.

We had a great time and everyone we encountered was awesome and very helpful. Doug made sure everything you would need for your stay was provided and made it feel like a home away from home. The ocean view and the views of the sunrises and sunsets from the lanai were amazing. The condo is in a good location and Doug is extremely easy to work with. Guest services was also very helpful in setting up our snorkel trip. We would definitely rent from Doug again. Thank you for having a wonderful place and for making our stay amazing..

We were very pleased with the unit. The unit was quite spacious along with very nice sized patio. It had everything you could need in the kitchen as well as a good amount of beach accessories - i.e. Chairs/Umbrella's/Boogie board as well mask/snorkel and fins. I really enjoyed the mask/sorkel and fins. There are a few reefs just to the right of the Whalers where you can see a fair number of fish The grounds are immaculately kept up and the Whalers Village (shopping/dining/ABC Store) is a short 2 minute walk along the beach The fitness centre is also very good, with a good combination of Cardio equipment and free weights All in All - very enjoyable time there - I would return if coming back to Lahania.

This condo had everything we needed to have a wonderful time! The condo is immaculate and very well stocked. Thoughtful touches like beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie board, snorkel equipment, cooler, insulated bag, made our beach days great. The kitchen was well stocked too and there was a nice area beachside with gas grills to do outdoor cooking. The Whaler condominium complex is very well maintained. The grounds are perfection. It’s a beautiful beach front property located next to Whaler’s Village mall. The mall has many retail stores and an ABC store, fast food outlets, as well as 3 full service restaurants. On the other side, a short walk will get you to Black Rock known for excellent snorkeling. The owner, Doug, was great to work with. Can’t wait to go back.

Place was perfect. Couldn't get ice maker to work but probably operater error.

Location is conveniently located close to restaurants, etc. Nice that they provided chairs and umbrellas for the beach. Refrigerator, stove, dishes, and utensils was also available. Rate does not include resort fee ($25 plus taxes). Nice TV with Netflix, but other furniture was very old. Shower curtain liner should have been replaced.

We have visited Maui numerous times in the past 40 years. This was our first stay at The Whaler & absolutely loved it. Our condo was awesome, comfortable, and well-stocked with anything we could want. We also loved being within walking distance to Whaler’s Village. Definitely will choose to stay here again💖

This was our first time to Maui and we felt so fortunate to find this condo. It was perfect for my husband and I. Check in was easy and efficient. We never cooked in the kitchen, but it was nice to have the fridge available for your drinks and snacks. The bathroom was clean and updated. The hot water took forever to reach the faucet. We soon learned that we just had to turn it on and give it time, and then it was fine. Plenty of HOT water. The bed was very comfortable. There were options for pillows. Different firmness and feel. The TV and WiFi were easy to figure out and worked great. The owner left great instructions printed in the unit. The patio and view was nice. We could peak around the corner to see the ocean. We made use of the beach chairs, umbrella and cooler that were in the condo. We would definitely stay here again. The owner was responsive to all of our requests and questions. Thanks for sharing your condo with us.

Fantastic communication with owner and immaculate rental and overall property on Kaanapali Beach. We picked up groceries and enjoyed cooking in the well stocked kitchen (and outdoor bbq) while eating on the lanai with two spectacular views - the mountains and the beach! The king sized bed and black out curtains were appreciated. The adjacent restaurant’s boiler room and delivery service do get noisy so be aware of that. I would recommend this unit to my friends and family as this was a fantastic and comfortable rental. Thank you!

Room itself was fine but third floor is not above tree line and view and NOISE from adjacent property was not pleasant. Generator/ air conditioner for large complex enhanced by loading dock/back up truck warning beeping was frequent. Oh yeah, hot water was constant issue. Maintenance response was quick, but hot water was not. Not horrible, not paradise.

We had a lovely time staying at Doug’s condo at the Whaler! The condo was stocked with everything you could possibly need for beach adventures - snorkel gear, chairs, frisbee, umbrellas and the kitchen had all of the essentials. The location was perfect - right near the beach, yet quiet and private. To top it all off, the communication with Doug was excellent - he was helpful, accommodating and flexible. Highly recommend for your next Maui vacation!

I can’t say enough about this property. The bed is so comfortable. The view is incredible. The ease of getting to beach from property is amazing. Doug was super helpful with flight delays, staying later etc (his hospitality brought me to tears). Our trip was amazing. We will be back. This unit literally had everything we needed.

We had an absolutely wonderful time in November staying in this unit at The Whaler. The location could not be more perfect with the beach right out the door, easy driving to other areas of the island and restaurants and shopping all along the walkway. It was just the right size for the two of us. We didn’t do much cooking but utilized the kitchen for breakfast and lunch most days. There isn’t much storage space for food and little counter space so big time cooking would be tough. We would definitely stay here again if we are fortunate enough to make it back to Maui.

The owners truly make this their home away from home. No need for a one bedroom if it's just the two of you. They have absolutely everything you would need for your Maui vacation. From beach chairs to umbrellas and cooler cups to boogie boards.

This was the perfect spot. Everything was perfect. This was the second time we have been to Maui and I exceeded our expectations. I will make sure to look Whaler 365 up the next time we are headed that way. Thanks for everything!

The studio was exactly what we needed and then some- the coolers, beach chairs, etc were absolutely perfect for hanging out. We loved the evenings listening to the music next door and looking out at the ocean. Cannot recommend enough! Only downside was the pool is under construction so you have to go next door (the guests there let us know they were not happy guests from The Whaler were there.) Not a big deal seeing as we pretty much only wanted to be on the beach anyways! We will definitely be coming back!

As always, we loved our time in Hawaii. We have stayed at the whaler several times, and unit 365 is our favorite. Thank you for sharing your Hawaiian home with us. We look forward to our next visit!

My wife and I have been to Maui 5 times in the past 40 years. This by far was our most relaxing ( no children, no grandchildren, etc. 😂). The condo was perfect for us. It was right next door to The Whaler Village. If you don’t want to drive to eat, just go next door to Hula Grill, Leilani’s and Monkey Pod. We went to all three and twice to Leilanis. The only place we drove to eat was The Gazebo, Dukes and MaMas Fish House. The condo is fully equipped and clean. If you are hikers like us you can hike into Lahaina 3 1/2 miles from the condo to downtown and have breakfast at Grindz located in a strip mall with great breakfast food. There are 2 beach chairs, umbrella and beach towels that we used. They were all in excellent condition. Thanks Doug for making our 40th wedding anniversary our best time in Maui. PS - We told our kids about going to MaMas Fish House. Upon our surprise our kids contacted the restaurant and told them that they will pay the bill including gratuity 😁. When we got home my daughter-in-law told us that she had a dream that we spent $1000 🤪

My teenagers and I had a great time at the Whaler over Spring break. My wife and I have stayed at the Whaler before, but it was the first trip to any of the islands for our kids. Our condo had everything we needed and then some. The studio was very comfortable and clean. The beach equipment was a huge bonus for us. We used the chairs, boogie board, snorkeling gear, and towels. The TV looks great, but I'm happy to say we didn't even turn it on! I believe this rental was an amazing value, but that really doesn't do it justice. I can't put a price on the value of our experience and memories. Thanks so much!

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and it was great! We really enjoyed that Doug provided beach accessories and we were able to take advantage of their use, which made it extremely convenient for us. The memory foam mattress definitely made for a good night sleep! Overall, we really enjoyed ourselves and will probably book again in the future. Thanks, L+D

We arrived for a 6 night stay at this studio unit at 5:00 on a Saturday after a long day of travel only to find that the unit HAD NOT BEEN CLEANED from the previous renters. Upon arrival, I called the owner to let him know that the unit hadn't been cleaned. Apparently, he'd accidentally canceled the cleaning. He was very apologetic and offered us a 25% rebate for the inconvenience. At the time, I thought that was ok. Then I started cleaning. After 4 loads of laundry (bedsheets, towels etc), cleaning the toilet, bathroom and dishes, vacuuming, mopping and throwing out the peoples old food, I was disgusted!!!! The experience ruined two days of our trip and my skin crawled every time I entered the unit. We had no idea who stayed here before us. We were cleaning a strangers bedsheets and toilet etc. I was mortified! I consider VRBO studio rentals at the Marriott or the Westin to be 5 star rentals. The Whaler is a 4 star property with a fantastic location and a nice but small pool. But for the granite countertops, this unit is dated and should be rated 3 1/2 stars. Small kitchen is well stocked. Furniture is nice except the pull out couch is hopeless and there are no bedsheets for it. The beach umbrella is broken but two chairs are provided along with other fun beach stuff. I gave this property a low rating because our experience really took away from our enjoyment of the week. Had the place been professionally cleaned, I'd rate it between 3.5 and 4 stars.

Wonderful place. Very clean, has everything you need for your stay. We didn’t cook but if we needed, all was available! Side ocean view from the balcony, but we knew that. Bed is very comfortable. We never stayed in a studio before but after this place we realized that it’s so perfect for 2 people. Location is so great and staying in this studio in the middle of Kā’anapali beach was all we needed. Thank u for letting us be your guests!
