About this property

Whaler 973 is a gorgeously remodeled 2BR/2BA corner suite that delivers breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, Maui's neighboring island Lanai, and the lush West Maui Mountains.

Your party will have plenty of space to gather and reconnect because Suite 973 offers an expansive 1444 sq ft of interior living area. Step outside and soak up the gorgeous Maui outdoors on the massive 500+ sq ft wraparound lanai, one of the largest on Kaanapali Beach.

Enjoy all the conveniences of a full modern kitchen featuring granite countertops, custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a Sub-Zero fridge, and elegant tile.

Suite 973 offers plenty of sleeping capacity for up to six guests. The primary bedroom offers a sumptuous king-size bed, and the guest bedroom offers two comfortable queen-size beds. The ocean views extend into the suite's interior and both bedrooms.

Both bathrooms have been completely renovated for a lavish bath experience, including glass-enclosed walk-in showers and luxurious tile throughout.

Catch your favorite show from one of the three flat panel HDTVs in the suite. Free high-speed Wi-Fi is also included with your stay.

Pack lighter with the convenience of the in-suite washer/dryer.

Nestled right in the heart of Kaʻanapali Beach, steps from soft sands and pristine waters, The Whaler boasts one of Maui’s best resort locations. This world-famous beach offers an abundance of shopping, dining, and activities right at your doorstep. Luaus, dinner cruises, snorkel trips, parasailing (summer only), whale watching (winter only), surf lessons, and more are only a short walk away.

Lounge by the sparkling beachfront pool and hot tub or take a dip in the crystal blue waters of the Pacific Ocean. A beachside towel desk can assist with gear rentals for snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, surfing, and more. Additionally, enjoy a game at one of the tennis or pickleball courts or a workout in the fully equipped fitness center.

The Whaler even has a private entry directly from the resort to Whalers Village, a beachfront mall offering unique boutique and high-end stores in addition to an array of dining options ranging from grab-and-go to fine dining with sweeping ocean views.

Should you choose to rent a car, complimentary self-parking is available on-site. If during your stay you require assistance or advice about the surrounding area or the suite, rest assured that you’ll be swiftly taken care of with aloha by one of our friendly and knowledgeable liaisons - hand-picked from West Maui’s leading luxury hotels. Help will never be far away because our offices are ideally located just minutes away.

Condo was very spacious and clean. Great location. Property managers were easily to get a hold of. Large balcony with beautiful views of the ocean and mountain. Would highly recommend this property.

Great property, Renter BEWARE. First, the Whaler Property is great! Great location, amongst all the big hotels, many restaurants and shopping. Will stay at the Whaler again! Now for the beware: the unit itself is nice. That said, at the whaler, Tower two, odd number rooms face the whaler shopping center. So when you step outside, you are greeted by the views in the picture AND by very loud industrial HVAC fans that drown out any ocean waves. This really killed the experience of sitting outside and enjoying the view and was super disappointing. Pick tower 1 to be safe, and even number units that face the courtyard.

Amazing unobstructed view of both the ocean and the mountains. Saw whales daily from our balcony. The condo looks brand new, is nice and spacious, and has cold AC. The best condo we have ever rented and would definitely stay here again. The only negative is the Whaler pool is much too small, but we avoided the crowds there and stuck to the beach.

We had an amazing stay at this absolutely beautiful condo!! The condo is very spacious, newly updated and has the most gorgeous views from the wraparound balcony! The location is perfect, right in the middle of Kaanapali beach with a beautiful boardwalk along the entire stretch of beach. We also loved the convenience of Whalers Village next door. Being able to walk to dinner most evenings was super convenient. We would highly recommend a stay in this property!!

When things go wrong, and they do, the true metal of a company or individual comes through. The management of this property, Maui Resort Rentals, Inc, went above and beyond for our family. A big "thumbs up" for Miguel Cruz Romano and Hope T. I will not stay at a property that you do not manage. Our 30 year wedding anniversay family celebration is a beautiful lifelong memory and you definately helped make that true.
