Whaler #1074 Remodeled One-Bedroom Two-Bathroom Ocean View

We've stayed many times at the Whaler and in a number of different units. This unit is among the nicer ones we've stayed in, with all the important elements well maintained - very clean, quiet ceiling fans, no moldy smell, and most furnishings and accoutrements in good repair. The two beach chairs were nice to have access to for beach days, and simple things like a small cold bag and some ice packs in the freezer made beach snacks easy. This was a working holiday for both of us so having the good WiFi in the unit was a definite plus. This is a delicate time for West Maui, with several thousand people still without stable, long-term housing. We realized on this trip that for our next visit in Spring, at least until the housing crisis is resolved, we'll avoid staying in these West Maui short-term rentals, but it was nice to be back for a quick visit.

The condo was even nicer than we expected, views were great, plenty of balcony space, kitchen was awesome, plenty of room for 4 people, we were only two. Staff was very nice, pool and fitness facility were great, easy walk to Whalers Village.

Great place terrible housekeeping food and gum in the pillowcases

The Whaler is in an ideal location on a beautiful beach. The unit itself was just a described, very roomy and well appointed.

The apartment was very roomy and comfortable and clean. The views of the ocean and the mountains were beautiful. the staff working the building were very nice and friendly. the location was great and very close to Whalers village where there were good restaurants and shops. The only problem we had was with the hot water - we had to keep running water from different faucets until we could get hot water for a shower. It wasn't until the last day or two that they were able to fix it.

Very nice well appointed condo with beautiful ocean and mountain views. Communications with the property managers was quick, easy and efficient. I would highly recommend this condo and would look forward to booking it again in the future.

We chose this unit because we wanted both the ocean and mountain view, which were both spectacular. I enjoyed daily meditation and yoga on the balcony. We have a one year old so we spent a lot of time inside, but we never felt cooped up because the condo feels so luxurious, open and bright. It is very well maintained and clean which was very important to us... when we stay in hotels the baby’s eczema flares and his clothes get stained from the dirty carpets (gross) he loved playing on this soft clean carpet and it was so nice that we didn’t need to worry. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed for meal prep and it was helpful to have a washer and dryer. The Whaler grounds are very pretty and well kept. The staff was friendly. The pool temperature is perfect and was a treat to have a jacuzzi. Kaanapali Beach is beautiful and my husband enjoyed snorkeling around and jumping off Black Rock. We would definitely return to this condo and recommend it to others :)
