My wife and I spent a week in this absolutely beautiful condo. Beautiful location, beautiful view, place was spotlessly clean. It also has beach chairs, and umbrellas to use, which was a plus! Absolutely wonderful stay! Would definitely recommend us to anybody! The view from the lanai was spectacular!

We really enjoyed this property. A great location. In walking distance to lots of restaurants, good beaches and clean, beautiful grounds.
It was nice that the place had beach chairs and snorkel gear that we could use. We would stay here again.

Very lovely, beautiful condo and clean. Having the filtered water available was amazing! The property owner couldn’t be nicer. We needed to extend our day a few days and he was very accommodating! Highly recommended!

This was our first time to Hawaii for our 10 year wedding anniversary and we couldn’t have asked for a better location and property. We almost stayed a little farther back from the beach at a different location but I am SO GLAD we didn’t. The Whaler grounds were beautiful and meticulously kept, the pool and hot tub were great, and having direct access to the beach and places to eat in Whaler’s Village was exactly what we were looking for. The condo was clean, the bed was so comfortable, we slept so well every night listening to the waves crash. Having use of the washer/dryer was nice and it is right across the hall. Underground parking was great as well. The view of the ocean on one side and the mountains on the other was breathtaking. My only suggestion would be to replace one of the tommy bahama chairs, one was great but the other one did not have the strap/buckle to close it so it made it difficult to carry backpack style so once we realized that we only used them once, but the Whaler does provide chairs down by the beach to use so we did that instead. All in all, I wouldn’t for a second hesitate to stay here and I hope that we are able to come back again. Mahalo!

Husband and I stayed here for our 10th wedding anniversary and it was fantastic. Walking distance to shops & restaurants, beach front and pool - perfection. Everything was just so easy and everyone was so kind. Checking in, parking, use of the property. Resort experience for sure. We used both the beach cabanas and pool cabanas. Beach chairs, pool noodle, cooler, aloe all provided by James. Whaler's Village is next door with lots of shops & food. We also drove 10 mins to old town Lahaina for dinner occasionally. Lovely experience. I can't say enough positive things about our stay.

We had everything we needed and could ask for. Nice ocean view from a beautiful deck with views of the central garden and mountains and golf course. There were two of us and we had all the space we needed. The location is perfect for snorkeling at black rock and enjoying all the wonderful restaurants in the area. We would definitely stay here again!

The place was very quiet, nicely decorated and comfortable. However, the staff can make or break business. One woman at the desk was rude and condescending. She was also very unhelpful. Otherwise, we would have rated our stay a 5.

Beautiful place amazing location! wonderful people very welcoming. Had issues with water for showers had to call The desk four times. Maintenance tried to fix it we still had to run the bathroom sink hot water at full blast ,therefore-waste excess water to get enough hot water to take showers . literally we both had three showers that were lukewarm. But again amazing location the hosts were awesome and left a fabulous bottle of wine! The room was absolutely beautiful. The amenities there ,you couldn’t ask for more! I highly recommend it!

Nice unit with plenty of room for two. The unit was very impressive when you first walked in. Kitchen was stocked with all necessities. Great location next to Whaler's Village. A bottle of wine greeted us and a bottle of champagne was delivered for New Year's Eve!
Condo Manager was very responsive and went over and above!
It was very frustrating, however, that we could not get hot water from the bathroom sink or shower! We had to keep the water running FOREVER before we got any hot water. We felt guilty for wasting water. The property manager was informed, however, it appears that this is an ongoing issue.

Overall very nice location and view on 11th floor. Decorated nicely - wood floors too. Love the wall/wall mirror which made it seem much bigger. Nice King Bed.
Some minor annoyances that if remedied, could make it a super place!
-Sliding Door was broken - had to spend time having it fixed.
-TV Cable didn't work - had to spend vacation hours on the phone with Mgmt Company trying to get it working.
-Place woefully lacking in wine glasses - just 1 glass. (2 beaten up disgusting plastic glasses were there but wouldn't want to drink out of them). We had to buy some wine glasses to use.
-One small shampoo and small soap - buy some more! Good thing we brought some from our previous condo.

The welcome note and bottle of wine were a really nice touch! No wall-to-wall carpet gives this unit a really clean feel in this updated interior. Nice views from the 11th floor and overlooking the courtyard!

Great location, great views. Had a little problem with the ac. I left a message and I received a reply right away. It cools but doesn’t get cold. The skillet needs to be replace. Didn’t want to cook but with hotels being 100% and restaurants being 50% you had too. No toys come with the condo. Only had chairs and a cooler. No blow up toys or boards or noodles. My daughter stayed in tower one and she had all sorts of toys come with her room. I prefer something to hang onto in the ocean.
July 2021
It was even nicer than we expected! Fully equipped for everything you may need (kitchen, for beach, the bathrooms, linens, etc) and super clean. I only wish there was water in the vending machines or somewhere closer to get filtered water. We didn’t have a car so getting filtered/drinking water and healthy groceries became an issue. But other than that, the accommodations, response of maintenance and staff, and the views, and overall environment were outstanding! Loved it and would definitely stay in the same unit and facilities again. But we’d rent a car next time!

This unit was exactly as pictured and described. It was wonderfully updated and comfortable with an excellent view of both the ocean and the hills. It was really well-stocked too, one of the big perks of staying in a condo over a hotel! We particularly enjoyed comfy Tommy Bahama beach chairs, a beach umbrella, boogie board and quick meal kitchen essentials like a blender, toaster and wine opener :) We also had a really positive experience with Black Rock Reality during our stay. The kitchen faucet started leaking, annoying, but it happens. Black Rock responded to my email with a call almost immediately and had maintenance out to fix it in less than hour. Plus, they kindly gave us a Hulu Grill gift card for our trouble. It's excellent customer service like this, on top a great unit, that would make it an easy choice for our next visit to beautiful Maui!

We loved every second of our stay at your condo - it was a home away from home and everything you could possibly think of was allowed for. The welcome gift basket was such a nice touch full of Maui goodies - wine/chocolates/coffee + Macadamias - thank you. I have never slept in a more comfortable bed other than my own. The view was just as it shows and such a treat to wake up to every morning. The Whaler complex is very nicely set up and maintained. Thank you so much - we had a wonderful time.

So happy with our choice! The condo and property were wonderful. We loved our view and the beautifully remodeled studio. I think they thought of everything we could need. We will definitely use Blackrock Realty again. The condo was very clean and when I called James he returned my call very quickly to help me. We loved the snorkeling at Blackrock just a stroll down the gorgeous beach. We can't wait to return!

With building our house in Maui which you can actually see from this unit, we have had to frequently visit Maui during construction. We have stayed in many places and this one was the ultimate. It was very clean, comfortable and much thought put into the little extras that makes your stay even better. Appreciate having soft towels and plenty of them instead of those that give you an exfoliation when you use them. Gorgeous view and fabulous location near everything you need. I will definitely be requesting this unit for our next stay. Thank you mgt. for taking pride in your job.

We were so impressed by this accommodation, the photos actually don't do it justice it is better in real life, we felt like it was our home away from home and had everything we needed to live like 'normal' whilst travelling. We cooked meals each night to save money and blended up our own cocktails, one evening we used the BBQ area that is right on the beach and other evenings we walked 50metres to the restaurants and cocktail bars! The view is so amazing and the unit is so comfortable and homely. We were supplied with books, kitchen appliances, beach bags, beach chairs, boogie boards, even some sauces in the fridge, we lived our welcome gift wine and nurs and chocolate it is soo personal and we felt very welcomed, I was reluctant to book accomodation away from the well known hotels but it worked out perfectly and for half the price and best location. The apartment was super modern and clean the shower is amazing, there was even toiletries, tampons, hair dryer etc supplied, literally couldv stayed for weeks. Would definitely recommend.

The room I had was excellent everything was wonderful and relaxing. The only thing i didn't like was the properties pool rules. My grand children and kids came with us and we all went swimming. Had a noodle for one of the kids and a small 5" diameter ball. security came by and made us remove all swim toys. one of the small kids was in a round float and he complained about that also. went above him and they let it go. the shallowest part of the pool is about 5 ft. deep and made it very difficult to hold kids. seems like the pool was built and controlled to keep kids away. I'm having second thoughts about ever staying their again.

I've stayed at the Whaler at least 10 times in recent years and this is definitely one of the nicest condos I've stayed in - the pictures very accurately reflect how nice it is. Very comfortable bed and furnishings, nicely equipped kitchen, and loved the beach chairs and welcome basket. The unit was quiet and has a wonderful view of the water and mountains - great whale watching too! The owners were very easy to work with, and I would definitely stay here again. Love The Whaler - it's low key, quiet, and has the best beach right in front for swimming and close to one of my favorite spots -- the Barefoot Bar at the Hula Grill.
