The property is on one of the best beaches in Maui. The studio is nice and has a partial view of the ocean. There is a lot to do and see close by. I highly recommend a stay. You will have a wonderful experience.

The sunset from the lanai is amazing! The room was very clean and has everything you would need. The bed was extremely comfortable and Bill is very tentative with any questions.

This was our first time to Maui. We’ve been to Kauai and Oahu, but Maui was our favorite. This condo’s location was A. The staff and other vacationers were so kind. We enjoyed the pickleball courts, and hot tub. The location of this complex to the beach, restaurants and shopping can’t be beat! Cindy was wonderful throughout, we can’t wait to come back.

What an amazing time our family of 4 had!The condo is perfect. Just as listed, but better! Pictures truly cannot show how amazing the view is.The condo has everything you need. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pants, cook ware, blender, kettle, toaster, spices, everything! While we did bring many of our own toiletry items I appreciated having access to shampoo, conditioner, soap, a blow dryer, and plenty of soft fluffy towels. The beds were SO comfortable, which is very important to us. My kids (14 & 16) said the Murphy bed was very comfortable. I loved how we could put the bed away during the day to make the living room fully usable. The location couldn’t be better. Right next door to Whalers village with plenty of shopping and restaurants. It’s a quick drive to the grocery store and other stores if needed. The beach is spectacular. We were here during the big swell so the ocean was unusable for the first 3 days, but we still enjoyed the beach and the pool is great too! Sunsets off the balcony are amazing. And watching the sunrise from bed every morning was my coffee was even better. We can’t wait to be back!

We have stayed numerous times at the Whaler over the years. We love that every unit has an ocean view, the beach is perfect, and there are wonderful restaurants and shops within walking distance. This unit was ideal - clean, updated, fully stocked kitchen, beach supplies...all with a gorgeous view of Black Rock and the ocean. It stays cooler (shady) on this side of the Tower 2, but it was nice to have the option to use the A/C if it was too hot. Our adult kids slept on the Murphy bed in the living room and were very comfortable.

We enjoyed our stay in this property . This is very good place at a great location. The morning and evening views from the patio is super. The whaler village is just next door with lots of good eating and shopping options. Property is clean and well maintained

I honestly want to rate this as one star so it doesn’t get booked when we want it. But I have to be honest. This is probably the most surreal property on Maui. Consider yourself blessed if you have the opportunity to stay here. Added bonus: Dr. Fall is on all the details and works closely with all staff on any needs.

Our experience was nothing short of amazing. The accommodations were impeccably clean, well maintained and provided everything needed from kitchenware to beach supplies. The view from the balcony was breathtaking and the location couldn’t be beat. Julie was also an incredible host, quick to respond and great recommendations. Thank you for a week in paradise!

Wonderful place. Looked exactly as expected with gorgeous views of the channels between Maui and neighboring islands.
Pool and beach were fabrastic and sooo close.
Spent some days and most evenings sitting on the porch/lanai enjoying the views, weather and relaxing with pina coladas.
Best low key vacation ever.

The Elevators were not working when we arrived so we had to lug all our luggage & golf bags up 8 floors. It was fixed the next day. Our Unit was beautiful & the lanai was amazing. It was perfect for me, my daughter & 13 yr old grandson. We appreciated the heated pool. Very convenient to Whaler Village. I would stay in this unit again.

The condo is more than we could have asked for! The location couldn’t be better. So easy to literally walk next door for restaurants, shopping or a nice cocktail. The condo is just as listed, has everything you need and so clean. The owners were so easy to communicate with. Definitely would stay again!

I love staying at the Whaler and this is by far my favorite studio. It’s not overly crowded with furniture and everything is nicely spaced. I like being on the side facing the Whaler’s Village as well because you can hear the live music and smell all the good smells. Will definitely be back.

The per diem amenities fee is not mentioned in the listing and is significantly more than stated on the rental agreement; the apartment itself has a musty/moldy smell; the WiFi did not work for the duration of our stay. That said, it is a great location with a beautiful view.

The location of The Whaler is ideal and steps away from the beach, restaurants, shopping and a short walk or drive to any activity you'd be interested in on Maui. The property was beautiful and the accommodations in the condo were high end and made us feel like we were in a home away from home. Words can't express how spectacular the views are from the lanai. We enjoyed the sunrise over the mountains and the sunset over the ocean. Page was friendly and welcoming and quick to respond to any questions. We will definitely be returning and recommending to others!

Very nice hawaii themed decor, some things were hand crafted and arranged so nice on the walls. Bed was comfortable, bathrooms nice also. Great view of the ocean on the lanai with comfortable chairs and table, and beach chairs available for taking to the beach. weather was lovely in November. We walked to the shops at Whaler village and enjoyed many of the restaurants nearby.
We hope to return!

Location, hotel hospitality, room amenities, and room condition were all wonderful! If they just labeled the dish washer and close washer pods so I knew the difference; the front desk folks were not sure either.

The Whaler on Kaanapali is our favorite place to stay in Maui. The unit was perfect for our two week stay. The view is gorgeous, the unit was stocked with everything we needed and more. Marianne was incredible to rent from. We would absolutely stay here again.

We absolutely loved our stay here, and will definitely be back. The sweeping oceanfront view is the absolute best place to drink coffee in the morning, a glass of wine in the evening, and anytime in between. Great location on a wide expanse of beach, with restaurants, etc., close and walkable. Beautifully maintained grounds and nice to have the pool option right there. Clean, comfy bed, and chairs to take down to the beach. Thank you for a wonderful place to stay during our week in Maui.

Another great stay at The Whaler. Laura was wonderful to work with and her attention to detail is second to none.
Her place was well stocked with everything you need expect for one item, a pizza slicer. Laura I was going to buy one before we left however I couldn’t find a store in Whalers Village that had one.
We will book Laura’s condo again and again. Cheers

It’s hard to beat the location. Access to the beach and pool are just a few steps away. Restaurants and shops are just minutes away. Sherry (the owner) is super nice and communicates well. Sunsets on the Lanai are wonderful.

Room was not quite what we expected at the Whaler!
We have stayed at the Whaler 18 previous trips & this room was the worst!
Along with the filthy carpet, the bathrooms had peeling wallpaper & although kitchen had some updated appliances, the counter tops & floor were stained & gross. 1st morning we found out the coffee maker didn’t work.
Messaged owner & had new one 14 days later!
Would not recommend!!
P.S. need extra pool towels to soak up water from leaking shower doors!

This property is simply amazing. The view, the view, the view! It was so nice to sit in the family room and look out the sliders to a view of nothing but ocean. It was truly a slice of heaven. It is nicely updated and comfy. Just steps to the beach, and Black Rock where there was fantastic snorkeling and turtles every day. We would 1000% stay here again. Once you’ve been spoiled with a condo like this, you just can’t settle for anything else. Thank you for allowing us to stay here. We had a marvelous time.

Spectacular ocean views. Sunny south & west lanais with lots of seating. Spacious, comfortable rooms. Well-equipped full kitchen. Nice pool, though a bit challenging to find afternoon shade.

We had a fantastic stay at this condo. The location is perfect for beach access and Whaler's Village. The condo itself was in perfect condition and came well stocked with everything we needed for our stay. Our 3 year old in particular loved the provided games, stroller, and booster seat (all of which made our lives much easier!). Keith was super responsive and always eager to help if we had any questions. Would absolutely recommend!

This is prob our 8th stay at the Whaler Resort, it’s just a great spot. Spacious rooms and located on a great sandy beach with snorkeling close by. This unit met all of our needs. It hasn’t had the updates that some have had, but that in no way impacted our stay.
