This breathtaking studio has amazing views. From the lanai looking towards the right you can see the white sand of Kaanapali Beach, lapping waves, catamarans, ocean and the Island of Lanai. Looking towards the left you will see the beautiful west maui mountains, golf course, fountain and lagoon. Looking down you will see the meticulously landscaped courtyard, Koi pond with bridge and beautiful waterfall. While enjoying your morning coffee or afternoon drink you will hear the peaceful and tranquil sound of the waterfall right below you. Looking down to your right you will see the beachfront pool and hot tub.

Please call the owner with any questions you may have. We are happy to assist .

Our condo was updated ,new paint, new dinning set, headboard, coffee table, cocktail tables, ottoman, pillows, bedding, floor to ceiling mirrors and custom art work. One thing our studio has that most do not is that we moved the T.V. . Now you can watch T.V. comfortably from the bed, sofa, dinning table and even the lanai. The condo is clean and well equipped.. The bathroom and kitchen counters are granite. The kitchen is well equipped. The lanai ( balcony ) has bar height swivel chairs and table for optimum viewing over the railing. Great for whale watching. there is also a low cocktail table and chair. There are books, games, beach chairs, boogie boards, ice chest, BBQ utensils and cooler.

The Whaler is situated in a great location. Right in the heart of Kaanapali Resort. Enjoy lovely walks from the Hyatt to Black rock. You can enjoy shopping and dining in the beautiful resorts along the beach walk. Whalers village is just right next door, with lots of shopping and dinning options. Lahaina is a short drive away. We hope you enjoy our whaler condo # 815 as much as we do, Aloha. We highly recommend trip insurance. Tennis and pickle ball courts. free use of rackets and balls

This property is all about location, which is wonderful. The host was very responsive and helpful. Having stayed in several units at The Whaler, I would have to say this is definitely one of the oldest as far as room, configuration, furniture, etc. The description of a recent upgrade is somewhat misleading. The furniture is quite old and mismatched, carpet is very old and the kitchen and bathroom looks to be the original when built (?). Some cheap upgrades would help - replace rusted shower hanger, rusted coffee maker, rip out carpet and tile, etc. Because I booked this last minute, I felt lucky to get something at this location with the court view, and if you’re in a similar situation I would definitely recommend renting this. However, for the all in cost you could do better as far as an upgraded unit if you plan ahead.

Beautiful ocean view from our lanai. We spent every evening enjoying the sunset and appreciation g both the whales and waves and the well manicured grounds directly below.

Room was as expected. We could have used some more silverware but made out ok. The host was easy to contact and she replied in a timely manner.

The stay was excellent! We were surprised to have to pay almost 500 at check in for resort fees. Maybe I missed this in the fine print somewhere, but I do not remember reading it anywhere in the information that was sent from the host.

We loved our view, and convenience to food, bars, beach, parking. Only thing we didn’t like were the huge bed pillows! Got a stiff neck!

Comfortable bed, clean room, beautiful sunset view, Whalers Village within walking distance. However the TV didn’t work - very confusing with multiple remote controls. Husband wanted to watch playoff MLB and NFL.

We very much enjoyed our stay at this property. The owner was very responsive to our communications, both before we arrived as well as while we were there. The property was very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed our walks along the beach walk and the beach was clean and well maintained. In addition, we very much enjoyed snorkeling there. Just a short walk to the edge of the beach to the right and we swam with a large variety of colorful fish, other sea life, and multiple turtles. Certainly a highlight of our overall trip.

This 8th floor studio is perfect for a stay in paradise! Close to shopping and restaurants. On the best beach in Maui and close to the Black Rock. Condon is clean and comfortable, and has all the amenities you could want for a comfortable and relaxing vacation. Judy is a pleasure to work with. Can wait to go back (again)!

One king bed studio in The Whaler on Ka’anapali beach. Clean, comfortable and quiet. Close to restaurants and shops at Whaler’s Village. Easy check-in and checkout; friendly staff. Owner replied quickly to any communication . Would love to stay there again!

Upon arrival, I was informed that the unit I had booked was not available for the first night. The resort had coordinated with the owner to provide alternative accommodations as well as other compensation. While I appreciate the effort made to compensate me, I would have appreciated notice prior to arrival. Moving units during my stay was an unplanned inconvenience

Lovely condo, great location, beautiful views! Enjoyed my week with two teens on Ka'anapali.Enjoyed coffee on the lanai every morning whilst listening to the crashing waves.Whalers Village and Maui Brewing Company are a short walk away. Very convenient for dining and sending the teens to the ABC store when we needed anything.Owner Judy was very kind and responsive. The Whaler employees were nice and helpful. The grounds are beautiful. I look forward to returning!Mahalo nui loa!

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.

Lighting needs attention…bulbs were out or missing, bathroom lighting in the shower area was like having a nightlight on. Holes in sheets,Tv completely inoperable(TV did not respond to the remote)no kleenex. Very dated shower. overall loved the location, loved the view, but this unit needs definite attention and updating to a VRBO standard.

I absolutely loved the location, and The Whaler staff and facilities were excellent. The room itself was overpriced for what it was - many of the appliances need replacing and the room itself didn't feel very clean (particularly the bathroom). Overall I would absolutely stay at The Whaler again, but I would probably pass on staying in this particular room.

We loved our stay at The Whaler and can’t wait to return next year. From the perfect location, to the unit’s amenities and the friendliness of staff, this vacation was just the best from start to finish. We will miss our mornings on the lanai watching the dolphins jump in the distance!

Our stay was amazing! This unit was furnished with everything we needed. It was so relaxing to sit on the patio and watch the whales in the distance and the sunset. We saw a double rainbow on the mountain side too. The location is perfect! It is within walking distance to restaurants and shops. We loved every minute of our stay!

We had a wonderful time in this condo. The manager answered all of our questions in a very timely manner. The Whaler is a beautiful property and this is our third stay here. The view from the lanai is breathtaking and we saw MANY whales from there!!! Remember your binoculars. Aloha!🌴

Love the property. Room was clean and comfortable and staff is wonderful. The grounds and location of the Whaler can't be beat. We will be back for sure!

We enjoyed watching the whales from the balcony every morning and from the pool or beach throughout the day. The grounds are meticulously kept, the pool and hot tub are simple, but elevated so that you can see the ocean very well. The unit was clean and the bed was amazingly comfortable. We will look at this property for next January.

The location is excellent. Right on the beach, with a heated pool. I loved that we could walk to restaurants and bars nearby. The Whaler theme was very appropriate, as the whale show going on in the ocean did not disappoint. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Nate, the Bellman and Elise, the Concierge went above and beyond. Our only disappointment was that the bathtub shower controls fell apart and needs replacing.
