The unit has all the amenities needed for your stay. The kitchen is fully stocked. It is immaculate. The property nanager Westside Maui provides immediate response to any questions. The unit has a nice side view of the ocean. It is walking distance to everything. It has a private entrance to Whalers Village. Fresh beach towels are provided. There is a bonus in that this unit has beach chairs. That was extremely helpful for going to the beach and watching the sunset each evening.

Fabulous 5 night stay for 3 adults who appreciated the easy access to the beach and restaurants. The condo was better than expected in terms of cleanliness and spaciousness. The premium for the condo being renovated and having two full bathrooms was well worth it. We visited during December at the start of whale season and the effort of bringing binoculars from home on an 11 hour flight was rewarded with being able to view whales far off in the distance from the balcony.

George is an excellent host. The one bedroom at the whaler is well stocked with beach chairs and a beautiful balcony and amenities- we love the whaler and will be back. George is a great communicator which makes for a smooth trip.

Room was clean but the decor needs a refresh. (wallpaper coming down, refrigerator was stained, bathroom fan too loud). Location was great. Our flight came in early and we went to check in and were told they have a strict 4 o’clock policy. They kept us waiting until 4:15. My son stayed in another unit and they hustled up and got him checked in at 2:00.

My wife and I have been fortunate to visit Maui many times. This condo was by far my favorite accommodation we have ever had. Everything about it was perfect for us. The big lanai with great views of the beach and black rock was an amazing way to start our days. The condo itself is beautiful. It felt like being home from the perfect size kitchen to having two full baths and one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in! The complex grounds are beautiful and peaceful! Every interaction we had with the host was amazing. I have not one bad word to say! I am hoping we get the chance to stay here again!

Absolute 5 star experience at this property. This place had everything from high end finishes, comfortable furniture and beds, high end kitchen appliances and fully stocked kitchen. It was immaculately clean and comfortable. Even the water pressure was great and the bathroom super spacious. We stayed with my 2 teens who slept on the pull out couch and Murphy bed. Condo felt plenty spacious and it was easy to put those beds away during the day so we could fully enjoy the living space. And the LOCATION! Right on the beach. Walk out of complex and directly into the water to snorkel or boogie board. The view from the balcony was amazing. We love Kaanapali and this has been our favorite experience by far.

Wonderful stay in a beautiful unit. A real treat to be surrounded by beautiful woodwork and art. The kitchen was well equipped. Really appreciated having herbs and spices, oils, etc. cook with, as well as good quality equipment. Very comfortable stay from the comfortable bed to enjoying lounge chairs on the lanai. Appreciated chairs and cooler to take to the beach. Carol was gracious and expedient in her communications with me. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Everything was great!! We have stayed in other units but this one was nice ocean front!! It’s not as quiet during the holidays but our second week was exceptional!! Also, we love The Whaler and all the amenities. We are past residents of Maui so we love all the island has to offer!!

Absolutely beautiful condo!! Clean and tastefully decorated. Very well laid out and stocked. The lanai was our favorite place to hang out in the morning for coffee and in the evening to watch the sunset and relax after a fun day in Maui! The view was out of this world!!! Perfect location with the most beautiful Kaanapali beach right out front and right next to all the shopping and dinning at Whalers’s Village! We were able to snorkel right outside the hotel and saw beautiful fish and a turtle. Also snorkeled at the Black Rock area within walking distance. Could not have asked for a better unit and location! Communication was smooth and check in and check out a snap! Would highly recommend and hope to return one day!

Outstanding location and view. I really miss having my morning coffee or sunset rum and pog on the lanai. Friends who own at the Whaler were also impressed with this unit. That said, the living room sofa bed was quite uncomfortable and many of the plates and bowls are chipped. The kitchen could use a pair of scissors.

What a beautiful, comfortable unit! We had everything we needed to feel right at home- from beach to kitchen supplies, they are stocked! We loved being on the 5th floor, corner unit. We could easily walk up and down the stairs to the beach or the whaler. Heather and Charles were very receptive and accommodating. We can’t wait to come back.

Great view for both sunrise and sunset. Host allowed us to check in early which was appreciated after the long flight. The resort has sturdy beach chairs available (covered by the resort fee) which is a great improvement over hauling chairs from your unit.

Dishwasher is not level and not secure. Wall paper is peeling from the walls. Thanks for having beach chairs and an umbrella available for our use. The room has plenty of pillows but short of a blanket or two for the rollaway bed.

This was our 3rd stay at the Whaler and I think this has been our favorite unit. Facing the main garden with the koi pond and getting to see both sunrise and sunset is hard to beat. I preferred being south facing in central tower 1 rather than north facing black rock. Obviously a corner unit is the best view but I liked this central location if you’re trying to be active as it’s nice being close to the elevator & trash chute. Tennis, pickleball, easy pool & hot tub access on my favorite stretch of Kaanapali beach make it hard to explore any other resorts. One day we might have to try the Westin. Whalers village direct access also makes it hard to stay anywhere else on Maui. Will be back soon hopefully

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.
