Very Clean unit. Having the beach chairs available was a plus. Kitchen is well furnished with all small appliances like toaster and coffee maker, pots and pans. Having the laundry very close by was a big help. View is great off balcony. Very firm mattress on bed. Close to elevator makes it very convenient especially when carrying groceries and luggage.

The beach view was okay, but I thought the picture I saw when I rented showed that we could see some of Black Rock. The picture with this review is a more accurate picture. I could be confusing a different room when I was booking.

I cannot say enough good things about this condo. The view was beautiful, the location was perfect right next door to Whaler’s village, and the condo was very clean and well stocked. We really enjoyed the beach walking path and it was perfect for evening strolls. We had great communication with the host and were able to get a later checkout which was perfect because we had a red-eye flight that night. The pineapple iced tea in the lobby and by the pool is delicious!

Amazing location with a great view. Short walk to Black Rock snorkelling area and excellent amenities in the pool and koi pond. Easy access to the beach and to markets and food court at Whalers Village. Very clean and good space for storage. Pull-out bed was as comfortable as one might expect it to be.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely condo. Ideally situated, it met all of our needs (and then some!).

We so appreciated the complimentary waters and coffee upon arrival :-) We love staying at the Whaler, and I would not hesitate to book this particular unit again in a heartbeat. Thank you!!

Location is perfect! I've stayed in many different units at the Whaler for the last 20 years. We did have to put a sheet over the sofa and had a couple stained towels. Otherwise, manager was responsive and we would definitely stay there again.

After the Lahaina fires, we returned home to help my elderly parents whose heydays included the first hotel built in Kaanapali. Having stayed at the majority of resorts here over the years, I highly recommend this hidden gem & experience the staff’s true spirit of aloha.

It’s the perfect little space for a quick getaway for 2 people. Oversized balcony is a real plus with the beautiful ocean view!! We will definitely come again!!
