this is a wonderfully equipped property with the most fabulous views. easy and extremely close beach access and a wrap around lanai that offers both sun and shade for whale watching and dining. the owners are communicative, accomodating and a pleasure to work with. we book this unit every year.

The location of this condo is hard to beat. You are steps from Kaanapali Beach and Whalers Village. If you want to stay somewhere that doesn't require a car, this is it. The condo is a corner unit, and the lanai wraps around both sides, giving a lot of extra space. Some beach chairs, snorkeling equipment and noodles were available at the unit. Watching the sunset every night was incredible. The condo was clean and tastefully decorated. It was very quiet and you have air conditioner thermostats in each room which was perfect for us.
The kitchen had everything we needed, but the oven seemed to take a long time to heat. Very few kitchen pantry items were in the condo. Typically, I find that vacation rental homes have lots of spices and at least one bottle of oil. There was a sesame oil bottle with maybe 1/4 cup remaining, some salt, pepper, paprika and lemon pepper. Be prepared to bring your own spices, oil and coffee. There is coffee at the pool that you can get, but it wasn't very good.
For the price of the stay ($29,000 after all the fees and taxes added), we were surprised that there wasn't coffee provided. Also, 4 rolls of toilet paper were provided for a 2-week stay for 3 people. I called the management company who informed me that they would not restock toilet paper. These are such simple things that made me scratch my head and wonder why these basics were not provided or restocked.

This unit is a diamond in the rough. Like undiscovered gold, I’m always hesitant to share a review, we will be back often.

It’s unfortunate VRBO only has 5 stars…because this rental deserves more!!! Truly the BEST rental at the WHALER..I shouldn’t say how awesome because I want this place next time I visit Maui…The location of the rental itself is amazing literally steps to the left and you have all the restaurants and shops of Whalers Village..Stepping forward you have a beautiful BEACH..steps to the right you have a pool and jacuzzi..(not to worry though the pool~jacuzzi are out of the way enough you don’t have any noise..)
The owners of this unit have thought of EVERYTHING..plenty of beach “stuff” as well..ohhhh and that view…GORGEOUS in every direction..
Parking super convenient…Please though if you are fortunate enough to stay here, take excellent care of it.Because, like I said the owners have really put a lot of thought and I can only imagine a vault full of money into this HOME..

We loved the property and the location. Furnishings and finishes are high end and well maintained. Location is so convenient to stores, snorkeling and restaurants. We’d stay here again anytime and highly recommend to family and friends.

My husband and I rented this unit to spend some quality time together . We have been feeling stressed about some impeding family decisions we need to make . The tine we spent in this beautiful unit is just what we needed . Everything we wanted and needed was provided . The view , the sound of the ocean and the amenities of the unit were perfect . We feel so grateful we were able to spend a week in paradise and we hope to visit again .

Second time we’ve stayed at this location. Love the upgrades that have been done. Sitting on the Lanai in the am and pm is amazing. Ability to get to the beach in seconds is awesome as well. Thank you!

John and Trisha's place in The Whaler is fantastic! Clean, well stocked and perhaps the best location in the entire complex. 2nd floor, super easy access to stairs which lead directly to the beach. Views of both the beach and pool area as well!

We loved our stay and appreciated being able to add on one extra day due to our flight cancellation. I would consider staying again. The four of us thoroughly a is not a five star rating is that I did not find the condo to be “modern and updated”. There also is NO bathtub. The furnishings seem dated and there is only an electric stove. The pool & jacuzzi were absolutely so crowded at all times we were able to use it only one time. Overall it’s hard to complain in any way when you are 24 steps to a magnificent ocean and that alone plus the vicinity to Whaler’s Village for easy shopping makes this an ideal location. The garbage disposal and light above the stove weren’t working but were addressed during our stay. There was a power outrage for a few hours and we had to move the patio furniture inside but that is beyond anyone’s control. This condo is ALL about the location. For a family of four it would be nice to have the 2nd room with two twins that could become a King size bed vs. having one of the kids sleep in the living room.

This is a great condo. The sunsets are incredible, the wrap around decks give you options when it is windy, the counter top stools and table on deck provide for unobstructed views (instead of standard height which puts the railings at your eyeline). The bedrooms, bathroom and living room are all comfortable and tastefully decorated in classic Maui designs. Master bathroom is big and beautiful and the second bathroom is great too. Wish the second bedroom had the option to divide the king bed into two singles so a family of four could more easily enjoy it with pulling out the couch (fine for kids but teens like to sleep in). Love that they have a few games, especially a crib board! They used to have multiple decks of cards around but none this year so bring some cards if you would like or the ABC store has some in the village next door. Lastly, it doesn't bother me but being on the second floor you are sort of exposed to people on the board walk. It doesn't bother me and they are probably just thinking "wow, look at that great place with the amazing ocean views from that deck and only steps from the beach, wish I was staying there". It is the kind of place that you feel like you don't even need to leave the condo but being just a quick flight of stairs up and down to the beach is incredible!!

The unit and location are amazing. The unit is definitely as advertised with a wrap around balcony and amazing views of the ocean and black rock. We have been to the island many many times over the last 20 years and this unit is by far the best! Sunrises in the morning to sunsets, it doesn’t get any better. The unit was spacious and well stocked with everything you need for your vacation. Proximity to Whaler’s village was amazing with no noise. BBQ facilities were great and an awesome place to meet friendly people. Hosts were also very responsive. After staying in numerous places over the years, we have found “our place” for future vacations!

Very nice property and excellent location. Unfortunately we had a few minor challenges with some plugs and the coffeemaker, but they got us fixed up quickly. We also had some bedbugs in the pull out sofa bed, but again they sent in their team in and got them taken care of.

After many trips to Maui we finally found the best. Amazing condo with lots of room & amenities. They thought of everything, down to chairs/umbrellas/floaty tube (we left one too)Best view and you can't get any closer to the beach. Right next door to amazing restaurants & shops. We are forever spoiled as nothing will ever be as good as this one. Best trip ever.
