REVIEWS:

*We choose this property over many others because of the view. It did not disappoint. Excellent ocean AND mountain views from the very large lanai. It was so relaxing to hear the surf during the day and night even with the doors and windows closed. We will stay here again.

*Love the island of Maui. Have stayed at the Whaler Condominiums for 37 years now and stayed in many of the various units, some excellent and some average, but overall very good standard and have all the facilities required. Would definitely recommend the Whaler as a place to stay. Lovely situation on Kaanapali Beach, central to shops, restaurants, etc. Great stay as always.
The condo is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and 2 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.

Great condo. Incredible views. Somewhat dated decor but clean and comfortable. We enjoyed whale-watching from the lanai, as well as the sunsets over Lanai. Kitchen had everything we needed, including 2 coffee grinders. Easy access via beach side stairs or mid-building elevators (3). Parking underground or in rear outdoor lot that is paid for as part of the 35/day resort fee. Great beach for swimming. Beach towels included. Condo has a boogie board and beach chairs, cooler, 3 sets of medium size swim fins - 1 mask snorkel. Surfboard rentals down next to the beach. We opened the sliders and the 4th floor condo catches the trade winds so we had no need for the aircon.

Great Vacation

We just recently stayed at this unit and could not have asked for a better stay. The views are just incredible. And it's not just one angle but two different angles due to it being a corner unit. Plus you get the awesome view from the bedroom! The unit has everything you need and two bathrooms to boot. Very convenient to Whalers Village and of course, Ka'anapali is such an awesome place to stay anyways. You can't go wrong with this unit! Just loved it!

Great location, in horrible shape

Last year we stayed in this exact unit for two weeks last and it was dirty and in disrepair - something so wrong in the master bath that it had a powerful smell of urine our entire stay (even after being “fixed”), broken coffee maker, at least 30% of kitchen lights burned out, they performed maintenance of refrigerator during our stay, not enough dishwasher soap or garbage bags for the duration of our stay. We thought things might be different this year and gave it another try for our two week vacation and the same thing happened - master bath started reeking of urine right away (I asked the property manager to just bring me a bottle of cleaner which I used with Kleenex and wiped up a disgusting amount of urine from the floor around the toilet), faucet on kitchen sink literally falling off and sprayer hose unable to retract, corroded batteries in tv remote so it wouldn’t work, burned out lights, speed of ceiling fan in bedroom is broken so that it’s too low to cool you while sleeping, bedside lamp bulb dangling by a thread, constant flickering light in second bath making it unusable. The unit itself is in a great location and the Whaler property is very nice but I think it’s reasonable to expect proper maintenance of any rental property and not the renters responsibility to report the list of repairs and spend time to arrange for the actual repairs with the management company while on vacation.

It's All About the View

We got the rest and relaxation that we came for. Corner oceanfront units at the Whaler are unparalleled. The views are magnificent. It is possible to experience the fantastic sunsets as well as the cliff diver at Black Rock every night from your very own lanai. It was true rest and peace from this oceanfront unit. If you are looking for awesome views look no further. The interior of the unit was disappointing. The unit was clean. However, it was also clear that the unit has received few if any improvements since the Whaler was first built. The tub/shower combo in the bedroom is very cumbersome to get in and out of. The kitchen was well equipped with cookware, utensils, etc., but, if you intend to keep the unit clean and tidy without maid service there is nothing there to assist you with that. There was no broom, vacuum, or glass cleaner for the several glass table tops. We bought some glass cleaner and left it there for the next guests. If the air conditioning was on and slider doors are opened the air is supposed to go off. Sometimes it went off and sometimes it didn't. And that was after the maintenance people came in to adjust. Check out time is 11 am. My husband went to throw out the trash at 10 am on checkout day and when he came back he was locked out. We thoroughly enjoyed our time outside and it is all about location for us.

Perfect Place to Enjoy the Beauty of Maui

This unit's ocean front setting with large wrap around lanai was the perfect location to celebrate our 50th with family who were also staying at the Whaler. We could watch them in the pool, swimming out front in the ocean, and headed up the beach to snorkel. It was an easy walk to the Whaler's Village for an ABC Store and many dining opportunities. Will definitely be returning!
