This is a gem of a place to stay on Maui. It’s steps from the beach and shopping, condo is nicely furnished, clean, comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen, roomy balcony - perfect for two people. We especially appreciated, and used, all the beach equipment - boogie boards, nice umbrellas, snorkeling gear, chairs, pool toys. Owner was prompt and easy to communicate with. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others.

The property was fantastic. The rooms and the amenities were incredible. The view was precisely as described. We could not have had a better property to stay at. The ocean was right there and the pool was great. We were within walking distance to all the restaurants, right next door to the Whaler shops. The beach walk was fantastic. The host was very communicative and told us what to expect and we had absolutely no problems. There are amenities for kids to play with on the beach, the rooms and furniture were clean and comfortable, and everything was just as we would have expected to have a great vacation. If we ever make it to Maui again, we would surely stay here again. Many thanks to our host for allowing us to stay. With appreciation, the Singh's

Our family of 5 had an amazing 6 days in this unit at The Whaler! It's a corner unit, so the VIEWS are awesome to Black Rock and to the ocean!!! Beds are comfortable and the roll away bed was helpful. My family loved the hot tub and pool . The kitchen was stocked. They provided 4 beach chairs and an umbrella. This is truly ocean front! Only about 5 steps to the sand! The best part is the amazing views! Stunning sunsets every night! If you want to be in the heart of Kaanapali Beach, this is the best place! You can walk to Whaler Village and we even got picked up for our snorkel excursion right in from of our condo!!! We played tennis 2 days at the property, they will provide rackets and balls! We hope to come back and stay here again! Phenomenal views!

The condo was amazing. It was on the 8th floor, the elevators were always super quick. What I loved the most about this condo unit was the towel rack on the balcony. Being able to air dry our swim suits and towels was awesome. The free washer and dryer are right around the corner from the room if you need it. They had some detergent available to use when I was there. There was also shampoo, conditioner, body wash and 2 hair dryers. There was a regular coffee pot with some coffee available plus a Keurig machine. We have 3 kids who slept in the living room. They utilized the pullout sofa bed, the cot, and we also found an air mattress in the closet. We had an issue with the shower not working when we got there. I called the maintenance # that we were told to call. Within an hour I received a call back and probably less than an hour later someone was there to take a look at it. That was awesome turn around. There were 2 sets of snorkel gear available, but we needed more for our family, so we went to Boss Frog’s. It was half the price for renting snorkel gear than if you rent it at the beach. It’s right next to Safeway. Boss Frog’s also helped get us set up with Zipline and at a discount. The location of the Whaler is awesome. The beach is sandy and beautiful.

The unit was very clean and comfortable. It was well stocked and we had no issues at all. The property is very well kept and in a great location and communication with the owner was excellent. The beach was fantastic and it was a very short walk to the village along a beachfront walking path. The village has very nice restaurants and plenty of stores. Would definitely stay here again.

The location of this unit was perfect for our busy family - ground floor allowed us easy access to the courtyard and our kids enjoyed the private grassy area off our patio. The room layout and amenities were great. Cindy was easy to get ahold of for any reason, and graciously allowed us early checkin and late checkout! Will definitely return!

Wow! What a fabulous stay at an amazing property! Keith was a wonderful host and the communication was easy and responsive. The unit had a gorgeous view and plenty of space. It was a great location with a very easy walk to shops and restaurants at Whaler’s Village. The pool and beach were just steps away from our unit. Thank you for the anniversary welcome!

Overall, the place itself was good, but the stay ended up disappointing. The biggest issue was the lanai — it’s right next to industrial air‑conditioning units and a loading dock, so the noise is constant. Trucks start early, the AC drones all day, and it’s loud enough that you hear it inside the condo as well. The small outdoor table also sits too low to enjoy the view, so between the noise and the setup, the lanai really wasn’t usable.The resort is beautiful and close to everything, but that also means it’s a busier, louder area. Inside the condo, everything you needed was there. It was comfortable overall, and the air‑conditioning worked fine — just loud. Underground parking was a plus.I did request a refund since the lanai wasn’t enjoyable at all, but the owner denied it. I was hoping for a quiet Oceanview stay, so this was a letdown. I wouldn’t book this particular unit again.

We love the Whaler, and have stayed here several times. It's the perfect location on Kaanapali beach. This unit was our favorite so far. The condo was clean and nicely remodeled, with a big walk-in shower and comfortable bed. The host was accessible and helpful. The only improvement I can think of would be to refresh the pillows. The ones on the bed were a bit flat, but my husband found some fluffier ones in the closet in the bathroom and we were happy with those. I'm assuming they were for the pull-out bed. These inner courtyard units are really the way to go. They have great views of the ocean and the beach, and they are quiet. It's so convenient to have Hula Grill and also Whaler's Village right next door with superb food, shopping, and the ABC store. This was such a wonderful anniversary trip, and we will definitely look for availability of this unit when we return.

The condo was lovely! It has everything you need in the kitchen, including Tupperware's and a fully stocked cook set. You can tell it's been well taking care of.We also appreciated that it had chairs, an umbrella, and a cooler bag for day trips to the beach. The bed was comfortable and the other furniture was nice and clean! Check-in was easy and the proximity to the beach and pool were lovely!Highly recommend this vacation rental!

The condo is a spacious corner unit. Love the birdsong. Kitchen stocked well. You do have to walk out on the balcony and look right for a water view. While you can hear the parking garage and garbage trucks in the morning at the whaler’s village, you do not hear people in neighboring units. The 2 queen beds appear to be replaced from mention in other reviews, and when asked said the beds were very comfortable. Those both had a box spring and new mattress. The king bedroom mattress was like a butcher block, and I did not rest well on that bed. It only has a coiled mattress on wood slats and not the same mattress set as new queens. I would stay again if the king bed has the same new mattress set as the queens. We loved the complex!

This property is a gem. We would book this exact place again if we were planning another trip. Ka’anapali is a bit out there from some of the main excursion sites but even so we would do the drives to get to them and stay at Keith’s beautiful, comfortable, spacious condo again. The beds are all very comfortable, kitchen updated and furniture fresh and well thought out. We loved that there were not tons of Hawaii knick knacks everywhere. There were empty shelves and tables to use for your things. The views of the ocean were lovely, mountain behind so breathtaking. It looked different each day with clouds sun and wind changing. My son painted it in his sketchbook! The shopping / restaurants are literally next door but not a headache. Some loud beeping in morning from trucks over there but limited. I would recommend this unit in particular and beach to everyone. We didn’t want to go. And btw Keith is a great host, very available and interested in being sure the stay was great for us.

This was our first time in this Condo unit and it was perfect! The view, being close to the stairs and the pool and BBQ area was ideal. I asked for extra pillows and bedding two days before our arrival and everything was there ready for us. We loved this vacation and hope to return soon. Thanks!

We were fully satisfied with our stay in this unit. The ocean and beach view from the balcony was absolutely amazing. The kitchen and bathroom were well equipped and very convenient for our family.
We had a couple of issues with the air conditioning in the bedroom during our stay, but each time the problem was resolved quickly after contacting the front desk. The carpet could also be cleaner.

View was amazing. Room could use some updating in the entire apartment, but then it would be more expensive. For the money you can’t beat the location and view. Just know it’s definitely not 5 star luxury inside.

The location is perfect! We had 2 teens with us and they had lots of options to explore. We rented snorkel gear and loved being able to walk to black rock and snorkel. The kitchen is the best stocked kitchen I’ve been in. There were lots of beach chairs and umbrellas. While we enjoyed the view from the balcony Whalers Village is very close.

We were 4 people including my Granddaughter, my adult son and his GF, and myself traveling. The accommodations were perfect!! We had a hiccup at check-in which was related to Vrbo not having accounted for my final payment for our stay. The owners did show I had paid and worked through the issue directly with The Whaler check-in staff and me. Stressful moment for me, but it was resolved quickly.I would definitely stay here again! The condo is beautiful and the views beyond what we'd hoped. There was easy access to beach, snorkeling, shopping and amazing dining. We did not want to come home!!!

Gorgeous condo on K beach on Maui. Looked to be totally and quite recently re-done. (I wish I had the master bath at my home!) Appreciated all the extras with beach chairs (albeit quite well used), board games, books, etc. And loved all the special touches with soap, lotion, shampoo & conditioners in all bathrooms kitchen, containers in drawers for all the “stuff” we bring on vacation and the lovely scent diffusers in the bathrooms. Master bed was so comfortable and we used both the pullout and the Murphy bed for my 17 year old twins and they said both were comfortable. Note: we did leave the pullout open all week bc the coffee table was quite heavy to move. Corner condo provided views of mountains and beach and we literally saw a rainbow every day. A huge plus for us was the included W & D as we like washing our suits and beach towels each day. The kitchen was high end with everything you could need but we mostly used for breakfast and some lunches. We had a slight issue with the internet when we arrived. The staff provided a temp fix until maintenance could come due to the hour we called. The next day it was completely fixed within an hour our morning call. Nice and quiet at the end of the hall as well. Would definitely recommend!!!!

We always stay at the Whaler when visiting Maui, this was our first time in this unit and it did not disappoint! It was roomy and comfortable. Only thing we would change is the sheers in the living room. It is nearly impossible to watch tv once the sun passes over the building. Not an issue for most people who are there for the view as most of us were, but my elderly mother likes to watch her afternoon and evening programs and found it challenging with the sun glare since there are no curtains or blinds. Doesn’t change my 5 star rating, the view alone is worth it

We’ve stayed at The Whaler a dozen times and this was by far our favorite unit. It was as if the owners had just stepped out, meaning there was absolutely everything we needed to feel at home. Imagine having the option of coffee by Keurig or a traditional coffee maker? I always pack Tide Pods and Bounce for the washer-dryer down the hall. Of course, this well-appointed unit also had the same detergent and dryer sheets in the utility cabinet. You never see that! I’m obsessed with recycling and we appreciated the easy to spot dedicated recycling bin and trash bin. I loved the bedding so much that I quickly checked the label so that I might have the same waiting for me in San Diego. Having a second bathroom is a game changer. The view was ridiculous in the best way possible. It was a perfect 10 days and we thank our hosts for making us feel so at home.

We had an absolutely wonderful 5-night stay at this condo in Maui. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that the owner put a tremendous amount of thought and care into creating an exceptional guest experience. The condo was spotless, beautifully decorated, and equipped with every amenity we could possibly need.The attention to detail was impressive—from the well-stocked kitchen and comfortable furnishings to all the extras that made our stay so convenient and relaxing. Everything was organized, easy to use, and designed with guests in mind.The location was perfect, and after each day of exploring Maui, it felt like coming home to our own private paradise. We truly appreciated how comfortable, welcoming, and well-maintained everything was.Thank you for providing such a fantastic place to stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended!

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!
