This was our second visit to the Whaler and the first in our new favorite unit. We will definitely be back. Proximity to the beach was outstanding. The owners were wonderful to work with, and we had absolutely no issues. We could not have had a better time in this beautiful fully equipped condo.

Heaven on the ocean

Location, location, location on the beachfront was absolutely perfect and best view of 180 degrees of sunrises, sunsets, rainbows, full pink moon. Incredible! The condo is inviting, wonderful welcoming decor. Bathrooms are great. The two patios are such a bonus. I would not stay anywhere else when in this area of Lahaina/Kanapali. Whalers Village next door easy walking to restaurants. The view of the ocean and all its glory amazing. Thank you Susie and Michael. Jane and Tim

Oceanfront Corner Unit Review

Stayed for the week of July 4th. Whaler: Attentive staff, easy check in, very pretty property, well maintained, ample parking in either the underground garage or out by the tennis courts. Has shopping carts in the garage to assist getting items to condo. Nice pool. Tennis & Pickleball courts. Beach front, so great location. Owner very responsive. Clean. Pretty run down (as noted in other reviews). Desperately in need of paint, new carpet and a whole list of "honey do" projects--faucets either stiff and hard to operate or flat out leak all over the place (kitchen). Towel racks and TP holders loose. Need to use caution in sitting in some of the chairs (one of the dining chairs may collapse at any moment and your butt might get pretty close to the ground in one living room chair). No stock of paper towels, dish soap, garbage bags, dish washer pods were really old and crusty. Overall, a bunch of stuff like this. However, the kitchen appliances are nice, the kitchen is well equipped, all the doors, windows and screens work fine and it's a nice sized place. As long as you don't get bothered by the general neglect of the place, it's a great location in a great property and is a good home base on Maui for a week.

Can't beat the location on Kaanapali Beach, and the view

Can't beat the location on Kaanapali Beach, and the view. Large wrap around oceanfront lanai was a joy. There are certainly options with more luxurious interiors, but not with a better view/location in the building (as close to the water as you can get). Beach was laterally out the door, down some steps. Note people will be walking past the unit on the beach boardwalk all day. Being on the second floor didn't impact privacy inside the unit but will somewhat on the lanai. Unit was also large and spacious. We came from a short stay in a hotel on another island and really appreciated being able to stretch out. Whalers Village is a few yards away next door for shopping and dining. Mostly not a noise concern. Communication with the owner was the best possible. Even reaching out during our stay with a question we got an almost immediate response.

Location

Great property. Sure, not as updated as some, but best location with the best view. Kitchen has what is needed to cook most any meal including utensils for the BBQ grills. Spacious living area, bedroom and 2 baths. Amazing lanai. All shows some wear, but doesn't affect the view. Would be happy to come back again.

Ocean front-wonderful

If you're looking for an ocean front property this, is it. But that is all it is. This property is extremely dated, outdoor furniture is rusted, indoor furniture is 1970's old and not comfortable. This unit needs a complete overhaul. Please do not judge The Whaler by this unit, we have been coming to The Whaler for over 20 years and have never been disappointed until now.

Lovely condo right in the heart of activity

Due to a flood farther south on the island, I was scrambling to find a new location for my vacation at the last minute. There just happened to be a recent opening and I grabbed it. Even though some furnishings have been well loved over time, the condo is clean and comfortable with an incredible view. Next to shopping, restaurants, and boating tours and a beach that is amazing to walk on. All staff I encountered at the complex were amazing and any questions I had from the on-island managers of the condo were quickly answered. Thank you for saving my vacation!

Furniture issues

If you're looking for a place with wonderful views and great location, this is it. But if you're looking for an updated, nicely furnished unit. This is not it. We were embarrassed that the other couple we invited were forced to sleep on a fold-out with springs popping through. We knew about the fold-out, but never expected the mattress would be impossible to sleep on. In addition, the club chair was broken and one side rested on the floor. The dining room chairs were rickety and wobbly. Badly in need of new furniture. We were disappointed about this and expected better, but still enjoyed our stay overall.
