Could be the best views you can find on Kaanapali, day or night. Perfect view of Black Rock and the ocean. Get to hear the waves crashing all night. Awesome balcony for happy hour before walking over to dinner at Whalers Village.

Property and condo are great. We only had 2 days in our condo and then were prevented from accessing the remainder of the stay because of the fires in Maui and law enforcement preventing us from accessing the condo.

Perfect for a family who wants to spread out and have a peaceful stay in Maui. Steps (and I mean only steps) to everything. The ocean view cannot be beat. This is what a Maui dream vacation is made of.

Amazing wrap around balcony ocean front! Ocean view from your bed was amazing! Condo was clean and the beds were very comfortable! We really enjoyed our stay, would recommend especially with family and kids! No maid service like a hotel so we had to wash our own shower towels and empty trash daily! It would have been nice if someone in charge of the property would have followed up with a phone call to see if everything was ok so we could find out about the towels and the halfway through cleaning? But other then that overall had a wonderful time! Would rent again!

My husband and I decided to take a last minute trip before the arrival of our first baby. We took friends with us this stay and had an absolute blast. The condo was beautiful! The views were nothing short of perfect. Early morning balcony sitting lead to several sightings of turtles this fine June. The Whaler in general is a hard place to beat staying at and we will certainly be back.

If you are considering booking this property, do not hesitate. The views are absolutely unbelievable. The wrap around balcony is incredible. We watched many amazing sunsets right from the balcony. The condo is spacious beautiful, and there is a view from every single room. The check-in process was incredibly smooth, and everyone was so welcoming. I cannot say enough good things about this condo and our visit. There are four Tommy Bahama chairs, and two coolers to use for the beach. The kitchen is very well stocked. The icemaker And refrigerator are amazing! Do not hesitate to book here!

The location and unit are great and exactly as advertised. I was a little disappointed to receive an invoice for daily amenity fee charges and tax at checkout. I also think that the booking fees and cleaning fee should be baked into the rental rate. I may have made a different decision had the total fees been understood fully before I booked.

This is our 3rd time at Whaler and the location can't be beat. This property has been upgraded and was extremely comfortable for our family of 4. One improvement I would suggest is a better stocked kitchen. Past condos at whaler have had a pantry with a lot of nice extras like spices which helped us and we have in turn replenished that pantry with our own supplies for the next guest. Its a nice little gesture that helps everyone who stays here.

This condo was everything we had hoped, and more! The view is breathtaking! The location cannot be beat. The property is well-maintained and stunningly beautiful. On our first evening, we looked down from our balcony to see sea turtles hatching out of a nest on the beach. The kitchen is well-equipped and the king bed in the primary bedroom is most comfortable. The soaking tub in the primary bath is the perfect size. There are lots of restaurants and shops next-door, and if you walk down the beach toward Black Rock, there are other resorts with beachfront bars and live music. I definitely want to stay here again! My husband and I had a wonderful second honeymoon celebrating 33 years of marriage.

Top notch condo unit. Clean, up to date, tastefully decorated. Views were off the chart fabulous. Walking distance to great restaurants and shopping.

Large unit, amazing views. Best wrap around deck with full ocean views. Walk to everything. A little outdated and you need to supply everything but would still recommend it for location, size and view.

Corner unit with stunning views to the ocean, tons of light and right on a gorgeous beach with a great pool. Unit needs updating but was very comfortable and well maintained. Whalers village with great shopping and restaurants but if you want reservations have to do it months in advance, otherwise a long wait to be seated. Adult daughter jumped off black rock cliff and needed a doctor as the pressure change made her ears bleed. Ka'anapali is an added distance from Hana hgwy drive and haleakala but absolutely beautiful.

Wonderful location! Close to whaler village and black rock. House needs a deep clean (cabinet doors especially) and updating. Otherwise, wonderful home. Enjoyed wrap around balcony very much and the beautiful views of ocean

The location of the property is excellent with unmatched views of the coast and mountains. So close to the ocean you hear the surf with the doors/windows open. Two air conditioning units was a real plus especially in the main bedroom. A few things need attention though to enhance the experience - sliders in living room were nearly impossible to open, the toilet in the main bedroom bath was very sluggish and could only handle limited use and very sparsely equipped in the kitchen making it very challenging to prepare a full meal. All in all very good but for the price these items should be resolved.

Perfect location if you wan to be near it all. Steps to the beach, fabulous snorkeling at black rock, beautiful sunsets, views can’t be beat and restaurants and shopping all within walking distance. It was amazing. The unit is spacious and well equipped. The wrap around deck was beyond amazing. You won’t be disappointed- well worth it! Thanks again!

One of the best locations and places we have stayed in. The view was so beautiful and it had everything we needed. Would love to make this a yearly spot!
