Rental Details

Property Overview

Boasting jaw-dropping 270-degree views from a top-floor penthouse corner location, this one bed, two bath gem serves up panoramic vistas, stretching from the Pacific Ocean to the West Maui Mountains, with miles of gorgeous coastline in between.

Highlights also include views of Maui's neighbor islands of Molokai and Kaho'olawe, and your own private seat to view the daily sunset torch lighting at Kaanapali's iconic Black Rock

Luxuriously remodeled with high-quality craftsmanship and materials, Suite 1224 is the perfect special retreat for your next Maui vacation. With over 900 sq ft of professionally decorated interior living area, your party will have plenty of space to gather and reconnect. The ocean and mountain views extend deep into the living room, kitchen, dining room, and bedroom.

A contemporary island decor features numerous upgrades, including granite counters, premium custom wood cabinetry, mosaic tile accents, a Sub-Zero fridge, and new furniture.

Step outside onto the expansive 345 sq ft. wrap-around balcony and take in the gorgeous Maui outdoors. During the winter months, you will have one of the best seats in the house to admire Maui's seasonal visitors, the humpback whales!

Suite 1224 offers plenty of sleeping capacity for up to four guests. The primary bedroom offers a comfy king-size bed, and the living room offers a queen-size convertible sofa sleeper.

Both bathrooms have been completely renovated with luxurious tile and granite for a lavish bath experience. The primary bath features a glass-enclosed walk-in shower, and the guest bath includes an oversized tub shower.

Catch your favorite show from one of the two flat-panel HDTVs in the suite, including the new 55" smart TV in the living room. Free high-speed Wi-Fi is also included with your stay.

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.

This room and resort was absolutely perfect for our stay in Maui! It was my husband & myself and our 14 y/o. Location was incredible, kitchen was fully stocked, everything was smooth & communication was fantastic. I did misunderstand the listing thinking the washer/dryer was in the room, it’s not- but just down the hall and very easy access! Would absolutely stay again & would absolutely recommend to anyone! Thank you!

Very good location. Roomy, nicely furnished, well kept unit. Bathroom plumbing needs some work. Hot water to shower takes a long long time to arrive. Nice furniture on outside balcony. Overall a nice suite.

Beautiful condo and location. Condo was spacious with two great bathrooms and a back area/closet where you could spread out suitcases and gear. Owner has an umbrella and two beach chairs, as well as a small hard sided cooler in the condo. Good ice maker too. All very useful. Wonderful breezes with the wrap around lanai and three deck sliding doors covering both sides of the L shape. Easy access and view of the Black Rock beach area and beautiful sunset views. Parking under the building was convenient and simple.
