We loved our stay at the Whaler. The access to the beach and the village could not have been easier. The unit had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We will be back!

Although the gym in the property is much smaller than other resorts/hotels in the similar price ranges, all other things are great.

The VRBO booking and payment process was a breeze. The Whaler is a fantastic complex in the center of Kaanapali Beach. Our unit was clean and spacious. We had a problem with the refrigerator but it was taken care of very promptly. The WiFi signal was weak and did not reach the master bedroom. Perhaps a WiFi extender in the master bedroom will solve this issue. There was an appropriate amount of plates, cups, glasses and basic cookware. Would have been nice to have some covered food storage containers with lids. We will definitely consider staying here again on our next visit to this beautiful island.

First of all checking in was a breeze my party was happy to have the beautiful view of the ocean and the mountains view and the courtyard sunset we’re beautiful from our condo Here are some suggestions we use what was available. I’m giving you some suggestions of what you need to add Not enough chairs at the dining room table to accommodate eight even though we only had six in the condo we only had for chairs for the dining room table Wine Glasses & Coffee Mugs for 8 People and plastic cups for use on lanai for a party of eight would be good The frying pans need to be updated not so used can be a health issue Extra blankets would be nice also there was two blow dryers and only one worked Overall, we love the place just needs to be updated. We are looking to definitely come back and stay. Next year

This property was perfect for our family of 6. It was in a perfect location on Ka”anapali beach. The property had amazing views of the sunrise, sunset, the ocean and the mountains. The property came with everything we needed to cook and for a day on the beach.

We loved both the green mountain view and the ocean view off the wrap around lanai. Unit had updated furnishings and functional full kitchen. We enjoyed the pickle ball courts and being right on the beach. Beautiful grounds and great unit.
