We loved this condo owned by Lori!
It was even more lovely than described, and plenty of conveniences in the kitchen in the event one really wishes to cook!
The setting on Kaanapali is truly beautiful.
Lahaina is in close proximity, yet The Whaler and surroundings are truly isolated from the very sad devastation . However, it is very sobering to view the remnants of the fire, and gives one a sense of compassion and empathy for the people there.
We highly recommend going to The Old Lahaina Luau.
Good food, completely served, beautiful dancing, and the Aloha spirit very alive there!

This was a beautifully decorated condo, very clean and lots of amenities. The stay as usual is the best at the Whaler. So close to dining and shopping and beach days! We loved the stay- but it would have been nice to know the balcony was closed off and we couldn’t enjoy it. We weren’t given any notice that it was under construction- but also there was nobody actually working on it the whole time either. Some kind of compensation would be nice, since it wasn’t disclosed. We’d love to stay again when everything is completed for next time. We love Maui Mahalo- Jenny

Excellent condo-style resort, great location next to Whaler's Village right on Ka'anapali Beach. Great amenities, easy checkin and parking. Modern, comfortable, and well-appointed to be self-sufficient. Some noise from the restaurant kitchens below, but only when the lanai doors were open.

My husband and I had an awesome vacation in Maui. This was our first time renting a condo instead of a hotel and we definitely made the right decision.
The unit was very clean, spacious, and up to date. The indoor and outdoor furniture were in perfect condition. The kitchen and closets offered everything we needed and more. We really appreciated having access to beach chairs and an ice chest in the units storage closet.
The location of the condos itself was perfect. We were right on the beach and had access to shops and restaurants within a five minute walk. The pool was great as well as many of the other amenities offered.
Our host was amazing. She was very responsive if we needed anything or had questions. Housekeeping was also very responsive if we needed anything.
If we ever have the opportunity to return we will definitely reach out for the same rental.

The unit was beautiful and well equipped. Lori has added many little things that really set this unit apart from other rental units. We were at the unit during the tragic Lahaina fire so our stay was significantly impacted by the fire. The staff did an incredible job in taking care of all of guests while they were going through this tragedy. We needed to stay an extra day due to evacuation restrictions. I call Lori to let her know and she quickly got back to me letting me know it was ok. Thank you Lori.

Overall, I was very pleased with my stay at this property. The place was very clean and well-maintained, and the owner was super helpful whenever I needed to reach out.
The property is located in a quiet area, just a short walk from the beach. The place is spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room for our family of four. The kitchen is well-equipped, and the bedrooms are all very clean and comfortable.

We have enjoyed many VRBO listings in Maui over the years, but none that are as well equipped as this one. We enjoy cooking in for many meals, and we lacked for nothing in the kitchen for our preparations. Many spices and sauces were available in the cupboards and refrigerator. Also, Lori has beautifully decorated this condo without creating too much clutter or unnecessary items. Beach chairs, umbrella, even fins and a snorkel mask were handy. Location is absolutely ideal for walking, snorkeling, restaurants and just enjoying the beach. You can’t go wrong with this condo.

This unit is an exceptional property! The central location is convenient and easy. Plenty of parking is available. The staff on the property are friendly and helpful. The view from this unit is spectacular - much better than the photos! We loved the extra large lanai, beautiful furnishings. Everything you might need or want is there. We will definitely book this unit again. Many thanks to the owner!!!!!

The condo was beautifully furnished and well equipped. We had everything we needed for our stay. We especially enjoyed the ocean view and spent a lot of time on the lanai. The owner was most gracious and quick to respond to our questions. We would definitely stay here again.

This unit was clean and spacious, with a beautiful ocean view from the living room and bedroom. It included many extra amenities of beach chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, and snorkel equipment. The whaler is in a convenient location just next door to restaurants, shopping and boating excursions. We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful beach!

We came to celebrate our 20 th wedding anniversary and the condo and property were perfect. The grounds are immaculate and the condo felt upscale yet comfortable. The mattress was amazing!! You will wake up refreshed. Fall asleep to the sound of the waves. The view is wonderful. The pool is heated to the perfect temperature, along with the hot jacuzzi. The Whalers Village is literally just next door. No worries, it does not distract from the view at all. Many luscious palms create a natural barrier. We loved everything about our stay and would definitely recommend without hesitation. Lori was very considerate and easy to communicate with. However, we had no issues or concerns at all!

Amazing place that exceeded expectations. Inside is amazing but the beautiful view from patio did it for me. Each morning my son and I ate breakfast and watched the beach and birds. Definitely a memory forever.
Thanks Lori

Our unit, 559, was immaculate and recently updated. Couldn't have asked for more. The staff at the Whaler is friendly and efficient. The pool isn't fancy, but very comfortable. The Whaler is immediately adjacent to the Whaler's Village shopping center and restaurants. We'd go back tomorrow.

Loved our stay at the Whaler unit 559! The condo is beautiful, spacious, clean - exactly as represented in the photographs. The double balcony is a great feature - can access from living room or master BR, and large enough for full dining outside.
The unit itself has a great view of the ocean/beach, as well as Whaler's village right next door - super convenient to run down in the mornings for coffee/breakfast or in the evening for a happy hour at the restaurants.
Prior to renting, we had read reviews regarding the noise level -- there was construction on one restaurant while we stayed, but we were never bothered by noise - it was completely a non-issue - we only heard the soothing ocean waves :-)
Renting a privately owned unit offered the best of both worlds - access to the Whaler's resort amenities (pool, towel service, etc) but the privacy desired & full kitchen.
Would definitely recommend this unit, and would stay here again in a heartbeat!

We loved the condo at the Whalers. The place was beautiful and had everything we needed.
The staff at the Whalers was helpful and courteous. The double balcony was spacious.
The only draw back was the 7 am noise of the workmen remodeling the restaurant at the adjacent shopping center. So when they are finished remodeling it will be better.

The owner has updated this beautiful condo to be very comfortable . My sister and I stayed one week and really enjoyed the ocean view and all the amenities of home. We love the Whaler for it's proximity to the ocean and the Whalers Village. This unit was next door but the ongoing noise from the Shopping center was NOT a problem. The sound of the ocean was very evident and totally amazing. The bathroom was new also and perfect. I even took pictures for my home remodel! This unit was the total package! Thank you🌺🌴😎

We loved this unit! Great decor and location in Tower 2. The owner has provided all the essentials for a perfect stay. The Whaler grounds are beautiful and clean. We enjoyed the proximity to shopping and Lahaina restaurants. We recommend the Trilogy Lanai day trip for a fun excursion.

Excellent condo in a great area, in a wonderful complex. Condo is bigger than appears in pictures. Nicely decorated and accommodated. All the kitchen supplies you will need. Grills on the complex are great. Bed was comfy and AC worked well. Great view from the balcony, we ate breakfast and lunch on the balcony everyday. I will stay in this unit again on our next trip to Maui!!

Beautifully furnished condo. Double lanai is wonderful. Even though the unit is on the "sunny" side of the building, this unit's lanai is set back and you have shade in the heat of the afternoon with a cool breeze from the trade winds. Unit is exactly as pictured. Loved the beautiful shower. For seniors it was nice to not manipulate getting over a tub edge. We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary on this our 6th trip to Maui. This was the best place we have stayed. Convenient to all activities, we didn't rent a car and used bus to go to Lahaina. Once Whalers Village expansion is complete later this year, area will be back to a quiet beautiful area.
