About this property

Experience the ultimate beachfront escape in this newly remodeled and refurnished oceanfront condominium—where the sights and sounds of the Pacific are right outside your door. You simply cannot get closer to the ocean than this.

Nestled in the heart of world-renowned Kaanapali Beach, The Whaler offers effortless access to upscale shops, fine dining, championship golf, and endless beach activities—all within walking distance. No car required; your vacation begins the moment you arrive.

This exquisite one-bedroom, two-bath residence (941 sq ft) is a rare gem within the resort, perfectly positioned on the 2nd floor of Tower 2 with a direct, unobstructed view of the shoreline. Step outside and you’re just moments from the pool, beach, and resort amenities.

Inside, the condo showcases a gourmet kitchen with granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances, complemented by new flooring, walk-in showers, granite bathroom vanities, and stylish new furnishings throughout. Every detail has been thoughtfully designed for comfort and sophistication.

The highlight: a private wraparound lanai (408 sq ft) where you can savor breathtaking panoramic ocean views and the soothing rhythm of the waves—your personal sanctuary by the sea.

Daily resort fee - $35/night plus tax (subject to change)

Resort Amenities:

Tennis and pickleball

Wi-Fi service at pool, spa, fitness center and lobby

Beach chairs

Pool towels

Washer and dryer on each floor (complimentary)

My wife and I go to Hawaii for our anniversary each year. After discovering this unit more than ten years ago, it is always our first choice. We're already booked for next year! Our favorite activities are a minute away. Whalers Village (the main upscale shopping on Maui is next door, with two of our favorite restaurants). The best whale watch and snorkel boat tours leave from the beach right in front (you can see them in the lanai pic). You can also see Black Rock to the right, which is possibly the best beach snorkeling anywhere. You can watch humpback whales from the lanai when we go in late February. The unit's big tv is "smart", so bring your smart phone and watch your same favorite shows on the big screen as you watch at home. The unit's interior is basically new and perfect, very comfortable. We really prefer The Whaler to the better hotels for all its comforts and conveniences. When you go, ask about the "secret" door from The Whaler right into the heart of Whaler's Village -- very convenient.

Amazing!! Wonderful view, the condo is beautiful & has everything you could need. The hosts are quick to respond to questions. The Whaler condo is welcoming & accommodating. We feel like it was the best location and view on Kaanapali Beach. We will forever remember this condo and our amazing first time in Maui. Thank you.

Beach view and easy access was excellent. Loved being close to the BBQ area as well. Amazing place to spend the week/honeymoon. Tip: Don’t leave fruit or sweets on the counter. A small line of ants will try to get your snacks.

This was our second visit to the Whaler and the first in our new favorite unit. We will definitely be back. Proximity to the beach was outstanding. The owners were wonderful to work with, and we had absolutely no issues. We could not have had a better time in this beautiful fully equipped condo.

Location, location, location on the beachfront was absolutely perfect and best view of 180 degrees of sunrises, sunsets, rainbows, full pink moon. Incredible! The condo is inviting, wonderful welcoming decor. Bathrooms are great. The two patios are such a bonus. I would not stay anywhere else when in this area of Lahaina/Kanapali. Whalers Village next door easy walking to restaurants. The view of the ocean and all its glory amazing. Thank you Susie and Michael. Jane and Tim

This is our second time staying in this room. The property owners are very friendly and so helpful. The room itself is absolutely wonderful. The view is breathtaking. You can’t beat the close walk to anything you may need. The beach is just steps away. I highly recommend this place and we will definitely return! Thank you!
