Our host-Judy was great. The beach view from the Lanai was great. Lots of activity to watch. The barbecue areas were most disappointing. The pool was a little small for the size of the property. They should install a kidding pool.

There isn't a better condo on Kanapali Beach. We were traveling with my 88-year-old mom, who cant walk long distances. The location and access to the beach, pool, and BBQ area were exactly what we needed; it was like having all that in our backyard. Even though it is close to the beach walk, it feels private and quiet. I loved hearing the waves at night, and besides the bathrooms, you have a beautiful view of the ocean or Black Rock from every angle in every room. I was pleasantly surprised to find it stocked with basic spices and oils, and random things that are useful and I didn't need to purchase. I really can't say enough about how much we loved it. It was clean and the beds were comfortable, they provided extra towels and beach towels. Another surprise was finding a closet full of beach gear, including three chairs, a boogie board, noodles, kid toys, and coolers. We didn't need it, but they had cribs, strollers, and little beach chairs for the kids. We will be back. (and I can't wait to come back and use the kids' stuff when the grandbabies finally arrive!) Its perfect for famlies. Sliding glass doors up to a huge grass area for them to get their energy out!

I’ve stayed at the Whaler for many years and the ground floor rentals are always the best! This studio has everything you need and direct access to the beach just steps away. Parking is really easy and private. There’s pickle ball and tennis available as well as beach amenities and a great concierge to help plan. This apartment is clean and comfortable and spacious! We will definitely be back again soon!

We really like the complex and have stayed there before, and while we were generally satisfied with the condo, we were disappointed with two things. The view from the lanai of the whaler’s village restaurant roofs and smells, and second, the master bathroom was a bit dated and the washing machine was out of order and I had to fix the toilet.

The resort was amazing and the condo felt like home! Supplied us with paper towels, toilet paper, a nice Halloween surprise basket and welcome kit were greatly appreciated. The views of both the ocean and the mountains were gorgeous. Keith was able to assist us with any of our needs

The staff at The Whaler, from the men and women at the gate to the housekeeping staff to the front desk staff are the best. Very welcoming and helpful. The room is spacious and very clean and comfortable. The room and just about the whole property has one of the best beach views that I've ever seen. It's a beautiful sight to wake up to. The full kitchen makes the whole stay seem like home away from home. Very great vacation every time we stay here.

This was my 1st trip to Hawaii and Maui didn't disappoint. We chose this condo unit after looking at numerous others and it was perfect. The communication with the owner was very good. Anything we needed, etc he replied to quickly.One of my favorite things was the notes he sent with information on transportation options with names, phone numbers & emails, lists of restaurants and numerous others things he thought we might need to make our stay more enjoyable. I would recommend this condo to anyone looking to stay in this area.

We had a great time. The property management company was very responsive to any questions I had. The views are amazing and the property is so extremely well-kept. I wish check out was 11am instead of 10 but it was overall a fantastic experience!

This unit is impeccably updated/decorated and comfortable, with all items we could need. The bed was extremely comfortable, slept like a baby. The location of the Whaler Resort was perfectly situated for anything we wanted to do. A wonderful home away from home and would stay here again!

Wow. This property was amazing. For a VRBO, it had everything you need for a comfortable beach vacation. The host thought of it all, from beach chairs, snorkel gear, bag coolers, and even a Brita water filter for the room. The kitchenette had everything you need. There was even tide pods to use. Communication with the host was incredibly easy as was the check in process. As for The Whaler itself, you are minutes away from The Whaler Village with a plethora of food options and fun beach bars. I would recommend this VRBO to anyone looking for a relaxing Maui getaway. We will definitely be back.

We love the Whaler and have stayed at this property many times. This unit was very clean, bright, and updated. Love the spaciousness of The Whaler. Very comfortable for 4 adults, 2 full baths. The murphy bed is very comfortable. There is a pull out couch as well. The kitchen was fully stocked. W/D on the floor by the elevators are free. Two beach chairs, cooler, and 1 working boogie board in unit at the time of our stay. Would definitely stay in this unit again. The unit is the north tower back corner unit on the second floor. Loved the quietness of being towards the back but still enjoying the ocean view. Loved the sunrise view each morning as well.

Beach view and easy access was excellent. Loved being close to the BBQ area as well. Amazing place to spend the week/honeymoon. Tip: Don’t leave fruit or sweets on the counter. A small line of ants will try to get your snacks.

Perfectly relaxing vacation. The unit is on the first floor and it was wonderful to be able to just walk outside, sit on the chairs, or wander over to the pool or beach or BBQ. The location is quiet but close to the beach boardwalk and Whalers Village. The condo is clean and had every convenience we needed. The owner was very responsive and went beyond helpful to make our trip enjoyable. We would 100% love to stay here again.

Everything was new and very nice. The kitchen was very well equipped with high end appliances, cutlery, dishes and cookware. The beds were comfortable, including the fold out couches in the living. The condo comfortably accommodated 4 adults. We would definitely stay here again.

While the room was clean, spacious and very comfortable, we were disappointed that the location was on the side of the building that overlooked the Whaler Village restaurants. This made it loud and smelly, so our amazing views of the ocean from our deck weren't enjoyable as they could have been. We asked to be moved to the other side of the building, but no properties were available. They did respond promptly. Despite the smells, the bed is super comfy the bedroom is quiet and the kitchen was stocked well too. Their bottle of prosecco was a nice touch. 4 1/2 stars

Something new we tried, took a trip to Surfing Goat Dairy and tried a flight of their goat cheese,,,YUM! Cindy communicated with us every step of the way. We would definitely stay here again!

The condo was beautiful. We spent a lot of time on the lanai reading and enjoying the perfect view of the ocean. Whaler's Village was an easy 5 min walk away.Contact with the owner was easy and was quick to respond. The kitchen is beautiful and has everything you could want. We'd definitely return.
