Fantastic location. Communication with the owners were great. Beautiful large wrap around balcony. Right next door to Whaler's Village where there are many shops and restaurants. Beach is beautiful. Overall, a fantastic stay.
Stayed here with my husband, 15yo and 6yo. Perfect place for us. Very spacious a.d close to shopping.
What a beautiful condo. Had everything you could possibly need. The view of the whales from the balcony was amazing. Highly recommend!
This condo is wonderful with everything you could need for a great stay including a kitchen stocked with cooking gear, great views from either lanai, comfortable beds and your own washer and dryer. The host was communicative and helpful through any questions or needs that I had. The only drawback for my family was the lack of the large sectional couch that was pictured in the photos - there is now a 3 person couch and 2 side chairs instead. Because one of my family members has to sleep sitting up and the whole couch pulled out into a bed instead of part of it, it just made sleeping arrangements a little awkward. Probably not a deal breaker for most people! If you are thinking about booking this condo, don't hesitate, it's wonderful!
Our condo was spacious and comfortable for us. It was fully furnished in quality matching decor. The veranda was huge and let us have views of both the ocean and the golf course and hillside. We used the kitchen to make several breakfasts and lunches, and the whaler barbecues made for an excellent steak night.. the resort itself is in a prime location right beside whalers village shopping centre which is the main gathering spot for all the resorts in the area.. the pool and hot tub was always welcome and towels and beach chairs were always available. Our unit also had beach chairs and umbrellas. The beachfront at the whaler was excellent for swimming and whale watching and is in pristine condition. We met many people from all over staying at the whaler and they were all repeat visitors. If we have the chance so will we.
We had a great time visiting the Whaler. It has a perfect location on the beach.
Perfect location! Plenty of room for our family of 5. Loved snorkeling right off of the beach and easy access to whaler’s village shopping and dining.
Overall, we had a nice vacation. We ran into a few hiccups during our stay. The property manager let us know that there was an existing issue with the unit that needed fixing. They were still there when we arrived so we waited outside until they finished. You didn’t get the feeling like the unit was super clean like you normally would, only because they’d had people in there working and rushed to get out. We were also asked when we wanted the condo cleaned mid stay and the day we requested got mixed up so we had to rearrange our plans and the weather was very windy so we decided to head over to Lahaina to kill time. My only complaint regarding the unit was that a portion of the patio was very clean but the side by the bedroom door was pretty dirty. The master bathroom shower got stinky very quickly, I think the liner needs replacing as it was mildewy. We did our best to hang it in such a way so that it could dry completely.
This is a windy unit. The outdoor furniture would blow around in the night and the day, clanking into the railing. It can be loud, just an fyi. I appreciated the new slider screen doors, although we would have benefited from there being a screen on the door by the dining area so we could open it for air flow. We like having the doors open, but it can be warm. There is also air conditioning which is lovely at night. We loved having the Murphy bed and pull out sofa option, super convenient. It’s a nice unit, great for a family.
I have stayed at the Aston at Whalers several times now, and always love the place. This room was different from the others I've stayed in, with extra sleeping room (a murphy besides the pullout couch) and a wrap-around patio. It was perfect for our group (4 adult women), and we absolutely enjoyed our stay. Only issue (minor) was some plumbing work that needed to be done, but it definitely didn't hinder anything. Also note to run the hot water a while in the shower before using - takes a bit to heat up. Again, no big deal. Oh, one last bonus - W/D in unit. This is the first unit we've stayed in at Whalers that had a W/D in the unit, and it was soooooo helpful!
Great location, walk to beach/shopping/dining. Roomy, comfortable condo. Owner quick to respond to questions.
