The Whaler is by far our favorite Maui destination. The grounds of this location are pure perfection. The staff are top notch, customer service is their focus. The Condo, is great, great views and amenities. The owner is the nicest, her communication is outstanding.

The pictures of this place do not do it justice! The property is huge and has a very large balcony overlooking the courtyard/pool and ocean! The location is amazing as well. Within walking distance to 20ish restaurants/ cafes. The beach out front is also great with places to lay out. If you go farther down the road the beach is no longer there. If beach is important to you I would definitely stay here! Also just a short beach walk to black rock with great snorkeling. Would 100% recommend and stay at this property again

One of the best properties we have stayed at in our many trips to Maui. Amenities are fabulous and the property was excellent inside and out. One of the easiest property managers I have ever dealt with and give them a 5 star rating. Had a great stay and loved the location and the view every morning. Short trip for a wedding, but was just what the doctor ordered before we caught a cruise to Alaska the next week.
Can't say enough good things about the place and the owners..

The location of the unit was excellent. The unit was well stocked with household supplies and utensils. The unit was attractively furnished.
The only negative was the mattress/cover did not provide any support and a person would sink into the foam.

We enjoyed our stay, but the condo could use more silverware, a new mattress, and cleaner carpets.

My husband and I heard about the Whaler through friends of ours and Judy’s unit more than lived up to expectations! We loved watching the sunset over dinner, the ease of access to the beach walk and directly onto the beach, and the cleanliness of the pool facilities. Judy was quick to respond to any questions. We would definitely recommend a stay here if you are traveling to Kaanapali!

Stunning views of the ocean with the sun setting over the island of Lanai in full view from the lanai of this beautifully appointed unit made our anniversary week memorable. We would definitely request this unit again. The beautiful grounds below with the array of Koi fish swimming around in the pond is most enjoyable and peaceful and icing on the cake.The Whaler on Kaanapali is always our first and only resort choice and has been for over 20 years.

The property was great and on site staff were very friendly. It had a large balcony overlooking the ocean and the Kaanapali boardwalk was steps away from the resort. Great place to stay!

Thank you for your warm Aloha, Judy! Your property is even more beautiful than the pictures! Everything we needed was either provided or close by. Judy was very accessible and responsive. We had a wonderful and relaxing stay, with such a gorgeous view! For anyone planning well in advance, be sure to get advanced reservations for Mamas Fish House Restaurant. We had an exquisite lunch there and enjoyed every aspect of it!

The unit was exactly as advertised, and the location is terrific! There are a bunch of sit-down restaurants within walking distance, plus the food court at Whaler Village if you want something quick and casual. The beach is quite wide around the Ashton, and it's a short walk to snorkel at Black Rock. We'd happily stay here again!

This is the most relaxed we’ve been in awhile. The views from the balcony are better in person than in photos. We spent some pleasant hours there! Beautiful in the morning and at sunset. Falling asleep in the very comfortable king size bed listening to the waves was wonderful. The kitchen was fully equipped and spotless. I don’t personally love carpet in a beach property because it’s hard not to track traces of sand in, but that’s just a personal preference. The Whaler complex is within walking distance of many restaurants and shops, as well as the beach boardwalk. The check in/out process was quick and easy. The pool area was not fancy, but there were always chairs available. Being right on the beach, sitting around the pool wasn’t a priority for us, but we did use the hot tub and pool a couple of times, and they were nice. Communication with the owner was easy and timely. It’s a very comfortable and convenient vacation stay!

This condo was wonderful with a beautiful view out to the ocean. We enjoyed the sunsets over Lanai on our Lanai. The condo is clean and spacious. The bed is heavenly. We would definitely come back again.

We loved staying at the Whaler. It has a great location close to shopping and dining and has a lovely view of the ocean. I have never stayed in a condo that didn’t have laundry access in the unit. Although there is a washer and dryer on the floor, it was annoying. I would make sure you are aware of that before you book. This unit has very little hanging space (although lots of drawers) as a portable bed takes up most of the closet space. Despite a few drawbacks it was a comfortable and beautiful place to stay.

Had a wonderful stay! Beautiful views and the sunsets we’re amazing. My husband and I have stayed at the whalers many times and this unit by far had the best views. Would stay in Judy’s unit again for sure!

We are first timers staying at The Whaler and will definitely be back. We didn’t realize this property is similar to an upscale hotel with 24 hour front desk staff, but every unit is individually owned. This made it easy to check in, but that wasn’t clearly communicated ahead of time.
Positives
-The location of this property is walkable to many restaurants, shopping & on a swimmable beach. We felt safe & there was plenty of parking.
-This condo #711 is two units from the beach front view. We had great courtyard & pool/beach views on the large balcony. The condo had plenty of paper goods, starter condiments, basic toiletries, lots of beach chairs & umbrella.
-The employees are amazing! Everyone we encountered was friendly, helpful and took pride in their work. The property is impeccably maintained daily.
Cons
The bedroom furniture dresser handles are falling apart and made it difficult to open the drawers. This is a picky detail and would not keep us from renting this unit again:)

Great location. Pool area was tough as it was always overrun but rest of grounds were really nice as was the unit.

This unit might have been more than my partner and I usually need but having a bedroom, living room and second bathroom was wonderful. The balcony was so spacious and the extra chairs, Ice chest and boogie boards were great! Judy was always quick to communicate and would take care of anything needed. Great view of the courtyard and ocean.

Fantastic condo in great location with beautiful views! From the lanai look right to see the ocean, beach and sunset, look left to see the mountains and sun rise. In between is the beautiful grounds with koi pond. Loved our stay and would choose again. Great value!

Wonderful unit. Beautiful view. Very clean interior. All great.
I would have liked to have some cleaning products to clean the sinks and counters but it was just two of us and we were careful.
Thank you for a A+ vacation.

Great view and nice unit. We enjoyed our stay in 711. The unit was comfortable and had all the amenities you could want. Beautifully decorated with Hawaiian artwork.
The Whaler is our favorite place to stay on Kaanapali Beach. Great location and easy walk to restaurants and shopping. Best beach in Maui.

The Whaler at Kaanapali Beach is the best place to stay in the Kaanapali area (according to us) and this condo makes the vacation even better. #711 has a wonderful view, a full mirror that reflects the ocean when you're in the kitchen and a lot of chairs on the lanai for relaxing. There's even a full box of equipment to make your day exploring the island fun with beach chairs, an umbrella and a full-size cooler.
