Rental Details

Property Overview

We do not advertise on Craig's List, so please don't respond to any Craig's List listing for this condo. We don't want a crook to swindle you!

Ocean View #1257, located high up on the 12th floor of the Whaler, offers amazing vistas of the Pacific Ocean, Kaanapali Beach, the neighboring island of Lanai, and the West Maui Mountains. The spacious floor plan has 1118 square feet, including a 213 square foot full-width lanai.

What makes this One Bedroom - Two Bathroom unit different from many others at the Whaler? 1) Its top floor location gives an unobstructed superior view of the ocean, beach, golf courses, and majestic mountains, and 2) Its location is the closest to the ocean you can get without paying the extra price for direct ocean front. Unit 1257 is located on the south sunny side of Tower 2. Relax in the cool island breezes on the comfortable Tropitone outdoor furniture and watch the whales, in season, right from your private lanai. This is the ideal setting for sipping MaiTais, sharing a meal, and listening to live Hawaiian music from below. Although you may never want to leave, you are only steps away from beach activities, shopping, and restaurants--or plan fun sightseeing excursions around the island! Fall asleep each night with the gentle sounds of the ocean.

This deluxe condo features a light and airy seaside décor and many upgrades. The kitchen is been completely equipped with new granite countertops, fresh flooring, wood cabinets, recessed lighting, and all the amenities. The living room and bedroom have been recently carpeted and have mirrored walls and floor-to-ceiling windows to maximize your enjoyment of Maui's exceptional beauty. Both the king-size bed and queen-size Sico (murphy) wall bed provide a restful night's sleep. The full-size marble bathrooms have also been refurbished with new cabinetry and tropical décor. There's also a free washer and dryer inside the condo. If you just can not leave business behind, our unit has an office area, which is laptop-ready with free high-speed internet connection, fax, copier, and printer. Even a complimentary in-room safe is included.

Our stay was one of our best family vacations to date. We booked this trip last minute just two days prior to arrival in Maui for a five night stay. We had such a great time that we ended up extending our trip an additional two nights. Booking, check-in, and the stay-extension process was easy with great communication. This is a top floor condo. The views from the lanai are exceptional with picturesque ocean and mountain views. The condo was well-equipped, clean, and provided plenty of space for a family of four. Having an in-unit washer & dryer was a huge perk too. We made a lot of great memories and would certainly book again. Thank you!

We arrived at the Whaler after a very long travel day only to be told by the front desk that we did not have a reservation and they had never heard of us . After several panicky and frustrating moments they called the owner who confirmed that we did in fact have a reservation. Someone had put us down for the wrong dates in a different month.The rest of our stay was very nice,great location and beautiful views. All communication with the 0wner was excellent.

We have stayed in condos at The Whaler many times and this stay did not disappoint. The condo had everything we needed. The Murphy bed was a nice addition.

My family and I loved the condo and the Whaler as a whole. The views were breathtaking and the unit had everything we needed to relax in between adventures, especially the shelves of books/games, full kitchen with cooking supplies, two full baths, in-unit laundry, Murphy bed, and spacious lanai! The hosts were exceptional in all communications before and during our stay!!!

Spring break vacation in Maui. Condo was as advertised. No issues. The owner was very responsive to questions. Highly recommend and we hope we are able to rent again in the future.

Great views. Nice property. Could use some updating inside, but we didn’t come to stay inside. Having the Murphy bed was one of our most important needs as we will not stay in a unit with a sleeper sofa.this was my 2nd stay in the unit and would definitely rent the same unit again. Mike and Elaine are very thoughtful hosts.

We got sperated in the Lahaina fire situation and Mike went out of his way to help where he could to assist my wife to safely get on the evacuation bus and was a re assuring presence.

Beautiful location, 12th floor, expansive ocean and shoreline view. Well appointed, very clean, nice linens, includes washer/dryer. Very friendly owner, who welcomes communications w/guests with questions on procedures and expectations as well as providing written a list of arrival instructions. We have stayed in several hotels and condos in Kaanapali including the Sheraton, Marriott’s Ocean resort, Kaanapali Beach Villas, as well as others in Kihei and Wailea, and after staying here, this will be our “go to” place.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful Whaler condo. It had everything we needed to enjoy meals in, with access to several BBQ grills. The views are incredible, and beach right out front. We will definitely come stay again. Thank you!

Wonderful property for our family spring break trip to Maui. We enjoyed everything about the condo from the comfy beds to the well stocked kitchen and other thoughtful touches. The view and large lanai were spectacular for relaxing or enjoying a meal or beverage. It is on the Whalers Village side however you still have full unobstructed view of the ocean. Just stunning. We wanted to stay right in Ka’anapali and the location was so perfect. This condo truly had everything we needed for a great trip!
