This was a great fit for us! It is perfectly located close to shopping and access to the southern beaches and NaPali coast! Pool area was quiet , grounds were clean and pretty! Hope to rent this exact unit next time we come!

Absolutely no complaints! Perfect for a family of 4. Larger than i expected. Felt safe enough to leave the back doors open and feel the breeze all night. We were practically the only ones at the pool every time we went. Had everything we needed to feel at home, including the washer/ dryer in the unit. Would definitely return.

Both condos in need of repair and upkeep. Screen doors all rusted and won’t stay on their tracks, window screens falling out, lightbulbs out, freezer door fell off. With expensive stay of two weeks, condos needed a refresh cleaning and change of sheets and towels after one week.

This property was extremely large for our 8 person group. It is perfectly located in Poipu, has a really nice pool and has a view that is amazing. Beaches are within walking distance (north or south) as is retail. The only negatives were a) parking passes were not provided so we had to visit the property manager (one mile away) to obtain them and b) the screens to the lanai were inoperable and continued to fall off their rails.

The ocean views are spectacular. Located in a quiet neighborhood but close to dining and shopping. Easy walking distance to Baby Beach but it's not that impressive. We ended up driving to Poipu Beach instead. The condo is mostly well-equipped in the kitchen as well as with beach equipment and coolers. We had issues with the washer/dryer, which needs to be repaired or replaced. The living room and patio furniture were not the most comfortable for us. Good outside airflow made up for the lack of A/C.

Nothing to complain about here! We were very comfortable. The view was awesome. Pool and hot tub are quiet and peaceful at all times of day. Easy walk to a nice calm beach. Lots of supplies in the condo for beach enjoyment. Close to restaurants and shops (with a car, you could walk if you’re not in a hurry). Kauai is just the best obviously and this is a good place from which to explore the south/west sites.

Phenomenal!! This was the perfect setting for our family vacation. We couldn't have asked for a better view or location. I could have stayed forever. 10/10 worth the book!! We’ll be back! 😊

This is an incredible VRBO - from the moment we stepped inside, it was obvious how beautiful the view is. The lanai was a great feature and you can catch the best sunsets there. The property was clean and very comfortable. There was everything you need, from comfortable beds to spices/kitchenware to toiletries to extra blankets. It’s also only a 5-10 min walk to the shops where you can buy whatever you need from Long’s Drugs or some of the stores and restaurants.

Beautiful 180-degree ocean view - we saw whales off the coast and nearby turtles almost every day during our stay.
There is no direct beach access from the condo property.
Elena was responsive to questions and we had a great time. We would definitely stay here again.

One of the places needs some attentions screens on bedroom windows popped off. Kitchen drawer front was barely hanging on. We contact the manager by email but no one came to fix it. Other than that great location and gorgeous view. Would stay here again.

So quiet and secluded, but right in the middle of everything in poipu! We walked to all areas of interest in the area. Easy parking at resort. Small and intimate place that was fully stocked! Had the best time and the grounds were gorgeous! Highly recommend! Allerton Gardens is around the corner. Do the Napali Coast 6 hour raft ride with Capt. Andy's!!! Great snorkeling at Beach House Beach and Poipu Beach.

The Unit at Whaler’s Cove is a beautiful, well appointed property located in great neighborhood. The view is spectacular and we loved watching the sea life and listening to the sound of the waves. The owner/property manager are professional, responsive, and service oriented that were easy to communicate with on any subject.
We look forward to staying at this wonderful property again!

This condo complex is one of the nicest places to stay in the Poipu area. It is off the beaten path, a very peaceful place to stay. A beautiful pool and jacuzzi literally right on the ocean. This unit is nicely appointed with all the amenities to make your stay very comfortable. It is up to date and very nicely decorated. Elena was very easy to communicate with. Overall a wonderful experience. We will be back. Highly recommended.

Overall this is a great location in Poipu. The lanai is beautiful and creates a perfect place to watch sunset, sunrise and the ocean. The condo is spacious with many great amenities. Highly recommend but be aware of the below before you book:
1. This condo does not have air conditioning. We missed this in the listing and the reviews didn’t mention. Not a huge issue if you are used to sleeping in 75-80 degree rooms. During the day the condo was very warm. There are several fans but we found ourselves still warm. Sleeping was tough and being on the first floor, we did not feel comfortable leaving the patio doors open at night. I would guess the rooms were 75-80 degrees each night.
2. There is quite a bit of construction at the moment. We were made aware that the pool was being resurfaced during our stay and prepared for that. However, we did not know that many of the condos are having windows replaced and possibly other repairs. They actually replaced the windows in our condo during our stay and we were not told. Not sure if they entered our condo or replaced them from the outside, but would have liked to be notified beforehand. This also left a strong caulk/paint smell in the condo.
Make no mistake, the condo is great and the location is wonderful. Just a few minor hiccups that made it less than 5 star for us.

Interior is a bit dated. Curtains to lanai had dry rot and need to be replaced. Oven was not working. Microwave display was burned out. Kitchen faucet and master bath drain needed repairs. Repairs to kitchen faucet and bathroom drain were done promptly. They were unable to fix oven or microwave. 5 stars because location is hard to beat.

Whalers Cove is an unparalleled location for a completely relaxing vacation. Unit 113 is a charming, unassuming unit with a wonderful lanai from which to listen to the crashing waves and watch the wildlife. The beautiful azure pool and surrounding deck at the point of the property allowed for turtle watching, sunning and quick dips to cool off. What a wonderful stay. We look forward to returning.

Whalers Cove is an amazing place. The views of the Pacific and the lava flow rocks in front of the condo are indescribably beautiful. You couldn't ask for a more stunning setting. The condo we stayed in was comfortable, clean, with pretty much everything we needed during our stay. Being able to walk out the back sliding door in the morning, sit on the lanai and experience such a beautiful place was incredible.

Very clean unit. When we weren't out and about we enjoyed spending our time sitting out on the Lanai taking in the view of the ocean and sea life. One morning while drinking our coffee we watched a pod of Dolphins jumping and surfing in on the waves. The one downfall, no air conditioning. But if not an issue for you it's a nice place to stay on Kauai.

This is my second time staying at this amazing condo. I had such a great time I brought my sisters with me this time.🌺 We spent a week of fun in the sun and touring the island.The condo is beautiful and so comfortable. We spent time lounging inside the condo, out on the lanai overlooking the beautiful ocean and time in the gorgeous pool. The condo has everything that you need for inside comfort, beach time and pool time. The only thing you need to bring is food to fill up the refrigerator. The location is perfect. It has many great restaurants and shopping centers centrally located. I can’t wait to come back.🌈🏝️

We arrived late at night and went straight to bed. When we woke up in the morning, all of us were giddy with excitement over the view. We didn’t realize how luxurious this place was going to be. The condo had all the amenities you would need for vacation. Amazing views. Did I mention the views? I brought my 82 your old mother, my 13 year old daughter, and my husband and I. There was something for all of us. My husband and daughter loved going swimming in the swimming pool every day. The whole family would go visit the turtles on the property daily. The condo is close walking distance to the mall which we frequented for dinners and shopping. Close by is also a little beach that is really quaint and perfect for families. We will definitely come visit again. Thank you so much for providing such a wonderful place in paradise to come visit. We did not see a single ant :-)

This condo was incredible - the oceanfront view from the balcony and master bedroom/ bath....it's hard to put into words how amazing this view is. We saw turtles all hours of the day and were lucky enough to see dolphins in the morning. The pool and hot tub were a huge hit with the kids and it was never overly crowded. Location is perfect, with plenty of things within walking distance - stores and shopping center with a few restaurants. We can't wait to come back some day!

This was our second time here; We love staying in Elena’s condo. It is very comfortable and a true home way from home. The kitchen is well outfitted with Keurig pods, olive oil, spices, Ziploc‘s, etc. I don’t believe that there is a better located condo anywhere in Poipu/Koloa. Whalers Cove is very quiet and relaxed. Just a great place to stay.

I will start with the positives. The view was amazing! The unit itself is beautiful. The beds were comfortable and the condo well appointed. It was close to a wonderful shopping center and beach.The negatives-there is no air conditioning downstairs. When you come home mid afternoon this was rough. There are units in both bedrooms. The pillows are not comfortable. We had a major ant infestation in the upstairs bedroom in the bathroom. There was no food in that room. It was on the last day and it was in ALL of our stuff. It took over an hour to clean it out of everything and when I tried to call and get our 10 am time extended; no one answered the phone! I would not stay here again. There are so many other option on the island.
