Family Vacation
We had a wonderful stay. This has everything you need for your perfect family vacation. I love how clean this place was. The atmosphere is very relaxing and peaceful. It felt like home with all the amenities. The beds were very comfortable and we all had a good night sleep. The view is outstanding! The location is perfect to spend a day at the beach, pool, restaurants or shopping. I highly recommend this beautiful home for your next vacation to Maui.

6 Stars!
I can't say enough good things about this unit. Had everything we needed and was very spacious. Having 2 baths helped given we have 3 kids. The unit itself was very nicely decorated as per the pictures. The view to the beach was great too (partial but was awesome to have morning coffee on the lanai. The Whaler resort was amazing and truly 5 star from the staff to the amenities. This resort is not just a hotel where people come and go every week but has a lot of residents who stay long term which gave the place a homey & friendly feel. Lots of thoughtful touches (shopping carts to bring up groceries from the parking garage). Whaler Village is right next door is you want access to restaurants & food court, shopping, ABC store. The location ON THE BEACH is amazing too. It was so nice to step outside and you're right there. Black Rock is a 10min walk down the beach where you can cliff jump or snorkel with the sea turtles (every day we saw at least 2 but up to 5 at one time). Our host George was very responsive and communicated with us before and throughout our stay. Mahalo George for everything! I would recommend this to anyone! Will

Awesome stay on Kaanapali Beach. This unit was has everything you could need for an extended stay. It’s nicely updated, comfortable and in a great location. Easy walk to black rock for snorkeling, restaurants etc. Minus an unfortunate communication mishap at check in, everything went as expected. We’re looking forward to a return visit. Cheers

We loved our stay at the Whaler and this unit was perfect for us! We enjoyed being close to everything and the room had everything we needed for our stay. The staff at the whaler was so kind and accommodating to all needs. I would highly recommend staying at the whaler and with a family of 4 this one bedroom was perfect. The king Murphy bed in the living area was perfect for our teens.

Spectacular views
The Whaler is the perfect place to stay in Maui! Right on Kaanapali Beach and a short walk to Whaler's Village and restaurants. Beach towels and chairs are included in your daily resort fee which is a bonus. You can also rent umbrellas which I recommend due to the windy afternoons. We saw many TB umbrellas wrecked. The condo is exactly as shown in photos, The view of the beach, other islands and mountains is spectacular. You can watch the sunsets right from the beach or take a sunset or snorkeling sail that beach loads right next door. Condo was stocked with paper products which was a bonus. Having two full bathrooms was very convenient. Quick response from owner with minor issue. The oversized lanai was fabulous for morning coffee and afternoon naps. Be aware that this side of the Whaler is right next to a restaurant therefore it can be noisy at times. The grounds were beautiful and perfect for pics. I would highly recommend this condo for your vacation in paradise.

We really enjoyed our stay. The condo is beautiful and spacious for our family of four. George, the owner, is very responsive and helpful! This place has everything you need for a fun day at the beach. There are umbrellas, beach chairs, floaties and a boogie board. The condo is right next to a great outdoor shopping mall and some amazing restaurants. We enjoyed dining at the Hula Grill, Monkeypod Kitchen and Leilani’s. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect in every way
The property is exactly as listed in the photos. Very well stocked with everything you need. Location on the 6th floor was ideal. High enough for great view and sunsets but low enough to take the stairs or elevators. Been to the Whaler many times and the kitchen remodel and layout in this unit should be copied by other owners. Thank you for such an amazing stay!
