We very much enjoyed our stay at this property. The owner was very responsive to our communications, both before we arrived as well as while we were there. The property was very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed our walks along the beach walk and the beach was clean and well maintained. In addition, we very much enjoyed snorkeling there. Just a short walk to the edge of the beach to the right and we swam with a large variety of colorful fish, other sea life, and multiple turtles. Certainly a highlight of our overall trip.
This 8th floor studio is perfect for a stay in paradise! Close to shopping and restaurants. On the best beach in Maui and close to the Black Rock. Condon is clean and comfortable, and has all the amenities you could want for a comfortable and relaxing vacation. Judy is a pleasure to work with. Can wait to go back (again)!

One king bed studio in The Whaler on Ka’anapali beach. Clean, comfortable and quiet. Close to restaurants and shops at Whaler’s Village. Easy check-in and checkout; friendly staff. Owner replied quickly to any communication . Would love to stay there again!
Upon arrival, I was informed that the unit I had booked was not available for the first night. The resort had coordinated with the owner to provide alternative accommodations as well as other compensation. While I appreciate the effort made to compensate me, I would have appreciated notice prior to arrival. Moving units during my stay was an unplanned inconvenience
Lovely condo, great location, beautiful views! Enjoyed my week with two teens on Ka'anapali.Enjoyed coffee on the lanai every morning whilst listening to the crashing waves.Whalers Village and Maui Brewing Company are a short walk away. Very convenient for dining and sending the teens to the ABC store when we needed anything.Owner Judy was very kind and responsive. The Whaler employees were nice and helpful. The grounds are beautiful. I look forward to returning!Mahalo nui loa!
Location, hotel hospitality, room amenities, and room condition were all wonderful! If they just labeled the dish washer and close washer pods so I knew the difference; the front desk folks were not sure either.
Lighting needs attention…bulbs were out or missing, bathroom lighting in the shower area was like having a nightlight on. Holes in sheets,Tv completely inoperable(TV did not respond to the remote)no kleenex. Very dated shower. overall loved the location, loved the view, but this unit needs definite attention and updating to a VRBO standard.
I absolutely loved the location, and The Whaler staff and facilities were excellent. The room itself was overpriced for what it was - many of the appliances need replacing and the room itself didn't feel very clean (particularly the bathroom). Overall I would absolutely stay at The Whaler again, but I would probably pass on staying in this particular room.
Very cozy room and great location in Kaanapali!
We loved our stay at The Whaler and can’t wait to return next year. From the perfect location, to the unit’s amenities and the friendliness of staff, this vacation was just the best from start to finish. We will miss our mornings on the lanai watching the dolphins jump in the distance!
We had a great time in Kaanapali! Wonderful property and we can't wait to come back next year!

Our stay was amazing! This unit was furnished with everything we needed. It was so relaxing to sit on the patio and watch the whales in the distance and the sunset. We saw a double rainbow on the mountain side too.
The location is perfect! It is within walking distance to restaurants and shops.
We loved every minute of our stay!
We had a wonderful time in this condo. The manager answered all of our questions in a very timely manner. The Whaler is a beautiful property and this is our third stay here. The view from the lanai is breathtaking and we saw MANY whales from there!!! Remember your binoculars. Aloha!🌴
Love the property. Room was clean and comfortable and staff is wonderful. The grounds and location of the Whaler can't be beat. We will be back for sure!
We enjoyed watching the whales from the balcony every morning and from the pool or beach throughout the day. The grounds are meticulously kept, the pool and hot tub are simple, but elevated so that you can see the ocean very well. The unit was clean and the bed was amazingly comfortable. We will look at this property for next January.
Beautiful location. Beach is gorgeous and the facility is close to shopping and dining, all within casual walking distance. The staff is excellent. The bellman, Nathan, was very helpful with unloading of our luggage, escorting us to check in and then accompanying my wife to our room while I parked our car. On arrival to our room, Nathan immediately noted that the staff had not completed the cleaning process prior to our arrival and contacted the front desk to have someone come finish the job. He then followed up at a later time to ensure that someone had taken care of us. The young lady who came to finish the cleaning set up made sure we had toilet paper, towels and sheets and blankets. She informed me that they have different companies doing the housekeeping for the facility and that hers was not the one for our room but she was glad to handle the problem for us. I really appreciated both Nathan and her extra effort.

You can’t go wrong with The Whaler! Judy was communicative and her property was well maintained. Everything you need is in the unit. We took advantage of the beach chairs which was a great bonus! Thanks for the hospitality!
This property is outstanding. On the balcony, mountains on the left, and the greatest beach ever on the right. The views were so good. We plan on coming back to the exact spot next year!
Just what we were looking for. The property itself is immaculate as was the room. Close to shopping and restaurants. Great pool area and beach.

A really well equipped unit that made our stay very comfortable. Great location central to everything. We would stay here again!

What more could you ask for.
We couldn't be happier about our stay here. Judy is very responsive to any questions you might have. You probably won't have any though, because there is very little that she hasn't thought of to make your stay like you are at your own home. The View on the Lanai was beautiful. You can see the ocean, the pool area as well as the Koi pond. We enjoyed our breakfast there every morning. It is conveniently located close to the elevator and washer and dryer. The people couldn't be nicer and are always ready to answer any questions. I can be picky, especially when it comes to an ocean view..This did not disappoint. After a day of snorkeling, walking, site seeing you come home to the most comfortable bed. I truly cannot recommend this place enough. We would absolutely stay there again.
We loved our stay. The condo had everything we needed. Nice kitchen, sitting area, king size bed. Beautiful view of the ocean and grounds of property. We loved sitting on the lanai. And so close to whalers village, restaurants. Perfect to walk either to end of boardwalk to see penguins at Hyatt, or opposite direction to Sheraton…or for even better longer walk to Dukes restaurant
Would definitely stay again. And owner Judy seemed so nice….
We had such a great time. Beautiful views. Amazing host. Lovely accommodations. Comfortable bed. Would stay here again without question and highly recommend 😊
