Our first time staying in this studio and we were very pleased from the moment we entered the unit. Unit was exactly as pictured, very clean and bright, with an awesome view of the beach and mountains from the balcony. We had mentioned when booking that we would be celebrating our anniversary during our stay and were pleasantly surprised by a bag of goodies waiting for us. We really appreciated this special welcoming gesture. We loved that we were only steps away from the beach, The Whalers Village, and many restaurants. Definitely would like to stay here again on our return trip to Maui!

The Whaler is always great. It’s a perfect location on a beautiful beach with plenty of parking and a great oceanfront pool for any windy days where the sand is kicking up too much at the beach. This condo is also great. It has everything we needed. Huge fridge, microwave, stove, toaster, dishwasher, large closet with plenty of hangers and a clean bathroom. We’ll definitely try to book this one again in the future.

The unit is dated and worn. Excellent location however.

The location was hard to beat, and the views were amazing. The "great room" with bed, couch, dining table, etc. was wonderful. We loved staying there, but would not recommend it to anyone else. The kitchen and bath badly need updating.
While we are certain the bathroom was clean, it looked grungy. It needs updating. The non-slip treads on the floor of the tub were yellow. There was rust around the tub/shower drain. The caulk on the outside of the shower door was practically orange on the right side of the tub. And this is kind of goofy, but the shampoo, conditioner, and soap dispenser on the wall of the shower had orange shampoo. It left an orange streak down the side of the tub. Come on, ditch the orange! And the low toilet was just nuts. To wipe yourself, you had to lift one cheek or your hand hit the water. Nobody uses low toilets like that any more. They are not that expensive to replace.
As for the kitchen, the pots & pans and the dishes looked new. Wonderful. But the kitchen was definitely dated. The cabinets were laminate. Where you pull the cabinets open, the laminate was badly worn & scratched. Just a quick wipe with an indelible marker would have made a big difference. And the coffee pot needs replacing. The warming area under the pot is badly corroded and rusted. Spend $30.00 on a new pot!
Again, fairly minor changes would make a big difference. And a kitchen and bath remodel would be the best idea. It will make the owners money in the long run.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Whaler. The room was just as advertised. Bed and pillows very comfortable. Amazing view from the patio of BlackRock and further down to the end of Kaanapali beach. The sand beach was great for swimming and playing in the waves. Whalers Village right next door has everything you need.

Stunning views of the beach! Unit is comfortable, but a bit dated. Unit could have been cleaner (sticky floors), but overall well maintained. Was a bit surprised there wasn’t a “welcome basket”, even some water would have been nice.

We had a great week! The only downside was the broken coffee maker... but the lobby downstairs offered coffee each morning, and the village was close. We will definitely stay here again when we come back to Maui!
We have stayed in wailea on a previous trip, but definitely recommend Ka’anapali Beach over Wailea!!!
Great location
Great beach
Great atmosphere
Great restaurants
Great shopping
What else could you ask for!!!

We can't thank the Whaler enough for making our 25th anniversary trip such an amazing one. Unit 1118 looks over the incredible Kaanapali Beach and Black Rock. The unit itself is exactly how it appears in the pictures, and although at first we thought the decor was a bit dated, when we got there we quickly felt that it was inviting and friendly and had that 'homey' charm - like we had been invited to stay in someone's home versus a hotel room. The unit was super clean and the bed was one of the most comfortable ones I have ever slept on! Loved the fact that the owner has CDs with Hawaiian music and books and magazines around to read. The staff at the Whaler were awesome and the concierge helped get us an amazing table at a restaurant down on Front St. for our anniversary. The grounds are lovely and the coy pond is a must see (the frogs in the pond actually sing at night - very cool). Although we didn't use them, there were many BBQs that guests could use anytime to cook up a meal - and they were kept spotless every day! The beach was amazing and being so close to the Whalers Village shopping was a plus! I'd highly recommend staying in unit 1118 - we loved it and I'm sure you will too! Aloha!

The property was just as expected. Amazing location in the heart of luxury resorts and great beaches. Allows you to live the same luxury, but at a fraction of the cost and with much more freedom.

The unit was perfect for my husband and me. It was clean, comfortable and had all the necessary kitchen equipment to meet our needs. Enjoyed our morning coffee on the lanai watching the whales and an evening glass of wine listening to the surf. The Aston Whaler is the perfect location in beautiful Kaanapali. Will definitely return.
