This place is incredible! Look no further, book Julie's place - you will not regret it. It was very well stocked - we didn't find that we were without anything while staying there! We loved being able to walk over to Whaler's Village and grab coffee/breakfast and or dinner if we didn't feel like cooking. It is one block over and so lively - with music, shops and fun restaurants. The oversized lanai had the most lovely view of the beach and the mountains. We didn't need the snorkels that were at the condo (we brought our own), but we appreciated being able to use the beach chairs and umbrellas that were provided for us. The beach towel exchange was great also - loved not having to mess with wet towels when we were done at the beach. This, by far has been our favorite vacation home to stay at.The location was great for us as we did a lot of 1/2 day and full day trips. Tons of restaurants, great beaches nearby. Julie also gave us a pretty detailed check in email with grocery shopping recommendations, tips on getting to Lahaina, local recommendations, etc. We are looking forward to coming back next summer and hope that her place is available when we do! This place is tropical GEM!!! Thank you!
We had the most amazing stay at this magical place! Wonderful location (right on the beach and very close to Whaler’s village), stunning views of the ocean, large deck, very spacious rooms, and a great kitchen! It was very clean and modern, and the hosts were so wonderful and responsive while answering our questions! They even left us a very thoughtful welcome gift! This was the perfect place to spend our honeymoon! We will hopefully be back in the future! 10/10 would recommend!

We've stayed at many vacation rentals while traveling and this one certainly deserves the perfect record for excellent reviews. A great location for sure and the owner's thoughtfulness and attention to detail in providing virtually every amenity a guest might want.
You're in paradise, might as well stay in paradise as well. Pool is amazing, hot tub is wonderful, theres a beach house for all your rental desires and black rock is a short walk away for snorkeling with turtles. Room is well appointed, and the owner is a gem. If you stay here, bonus is to go to Papis early and get the best cinnamon roll youll ever have
This was the perfect place for our stay in Maui! The unit itself was very spacious and had everything we needed during the week, and was very walkable to the beach, restaurants and shops. Would absolutely book this again for when we return.
Location, view, size. This was the perfect spot for our vacation. The unit was large, comfortable, clean, and conveniently located adjacent to the beach and Whalers Village. Julie was responsive and offered great recommendations.
We loved our stay at Julie’s condo! We have been going to the Whaler for 30 years and this was one of our favorite trips. We celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary and Julie was kind enough to send us a congratulatory balloon and gift card to the Hila Grill- so sweet! We hope to go back in the near future. Thank you!

We've stayed at the Whaler several times due to the great location. This was by far the experience we've ever had. This was an incredible unit and came equipped with all the little things you need. Beach chair & umbrella, snorkel gear, and all the kitchen basics. The unit was clean, organized, spacious, and the view was incredible. The owner (Julie) was great! She responded quickly to every question/need we had and she gave provided very helpful local knowledge. We will defintiely come back to this same unit again!
Great place to stay. Great layout, location and owner communication.
This is our third time staying at the Aston, but first time renting this unit. It was just as described and perfect for our family. The location cannot be beat. Steps from Whaler’s Village and access to the entire Kaanapali Beach walk. Before our arrival, the host sent us a Welcome email with a list of suggested activities. When we arrived, she sent us a text asking if we needed anything; she was very accommodating and responsive! The unit was very clean and extremely well-stocked (coffee k-cups, full bottles of shampoo/conditioner, any dishes we needed (even travel coffee mugs), binoculars to view the whales, tons of snorkel gear). Our kiddo slept on the pull out sofa and also really enjoyed playing games on the Xbox when he needed a break from the sun. The bed in the primary was super comfortable! The walk-in shower was also really nice. We would definitely stay in this unit again.
Julie is the perfect host. She has everything you need at the condo plus more! I travel often and appreciate the details; from chargers, beach chairs to makeup wipes. Mahalo Julie for sharing your home.
Everything exceeded my expectations! Location was perfect and close to so many things to see, eat and do! Went perfectly smooth! Will definitely be back!
Great place to stay and amazing location
Room had everything you could possibly need. View was excellent.
This is the condo for your stay in Paradise. Ocean views. Great location for walking to shops and restaurants. Well stocked for all one’s needs.
We stay at the Whaler every time we visit Maui and that is a lot. We have stayed at many different units in both towers over the years. This place is my favorite of all time! Why? It is on the bright and sunny side of the building. It’s high enough to have an outstanding view of Lanai and spectacular sunsets. The decor is bright, happy, tidy and well appointed. The kitchen has solid surface counter tops and is open to the living room. The owner has thought of EVERYTHING you might need while there! She is also very communicative and has helpful tips. This unit is just THE BEST one!
We absolutely loved this place! Gorgeous place with a great location and amazing views! Julie couldn't have been a better host. Made us feel so comfortable and provided us with really great recommendations on things to do based on our interests! My son LOVED having the xbox in the place. Can't wait to come back!!!
Our experience was nothing short of amazing. The accommodations were impeccably clean, well maintained and provided everything needed from kitchenware to beach supplies. The view from the balcony was breathtaking and the location couldn’t be beat. Julie was also an incredible host, quick to respond and great recommendations. Thank you for a week in paradise!
Property was fabulous. Location was great, right next to the Whaler shops and the beach. Very clean unit and was stocked with anything you could ever dream of including umbrellas and beach chairs. Proximity to things to do was amazing including snorkeling at Black rock just down the beach. 10 out of 10 for sure!
My wife and I spent our 20th anniversary on Maui, staying in Whaler 759 and loving it. We were delighted to see that Whaler 759 was available again for our 30th! We spent 9 nights there in October, and it was once again an awesome spot. 759 is spacious, and comes with so many great amenities, from the obvious fantastic views and location, to the well-furnished balcony, to the beautifully remodeled kitchen and bath, and comfy sleep number bed. All the little details are there as well - everything you might need for your stay, from the kitchen to beach equipment. I also have to say that the Whaler is a beautifully kept resort.
The owner Julie is wonderful to work with, and very attentive. I am sure if we had any issues, they would have been resolved swiftly - but we had ZERO issues! We could not have had a better stay, and look forward to returning to 759 sometime - hopefully sooner than another 10 years.
Our stay was excellent. The unit was exactly as advertised and 5 star. We would stay there again.
The location was also great because you can walk to everything. The unit had great views and a nice balcony. It was also very close to the pool and beach.
This property was in a great location for our Kaanapali adventures. It was clean, had a great view, and had all the amenities we needed. The Sleep Number bed was a great perk. We love that we could walk next-door to Whalers Village where there are great restaurants, plenty of shopping, and it’s also where our snorkel tour left from. We would definitely stay here again.

Awesome!!
What a beautiful gem of a home! The view was stunning from every room and it was so clean and well taken care of! The bed was very comfortable! The WiFi was fast! We LOVED it! And we are so grateful to Julie for her flexibility when our flight was delayed. She was truly a lifesaver!
We had a family of 4, including 2 teenage sons. Julie’s place was just perfect for our needs. She thought of everything! The kitchen was well stocked, there were plenty of pillows and blankets. There’s an ice machine in the freezer…..no constant filling of ice cube trays! There is shampoo, conditioner, laundry soap……you name it, she had it for us. Thank you for a wonderful stay for our first time in Maui.
This place was fabulous! It had every amenity possible. I would highly recommend this place. It was right next to several walkable restaurants and shops in Whalers Village. The beach was great with fun snorkeling spot near the rocks just a few minutes walk down the beach. I will stay here again next time we come back. A++++
We have stayed at The Whaler quite a few times but this is the first time we’ve stayed in this unit. We wanted to upgrade from a Studio to a One Bedroom and this unit did not disappoint! Between the sleep number bed and the huge flat screen TV w/ Roku, the amenities were never ending! We enjoyed the fully stocked kitchen (including every big/small appliance you might need, salt/ pepper, soy sauce, etc), the Tommy Bahama umbrellas and beach chairs, the coolers, the sunscreen (we left some behind too), the lanai, the ceiling fans, the huge sleeper sectional, and of course, this place is LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Steps from all my favorite places including Black Rock, Island Coffee and Maui Brewing Company!
We only had one issue with the beach umbrellas — they were both broken — and the unit management was super responsive via text and replaced them very quickly for us!
I will definitely stay here again every time I visit Maui!!
Unit was beautifully decorated. We had everything we needed for our visit. Mahalo.
This was my first visit to Hawaii and couldn't have been happier with this unit. Everything was perfect including; kitchen fully stocked.....beach necessities.....as well as the sleep number bed, and restaurants and shopping right next door. The communication with the owner was exceptional. The view from the lanai was
breathtaking. We cannot wait to return to this exceptional unit. Book today, I promise you won't be disappointed.
You will want for nothing in this unit…between a fully equipped kitchen…all beach necessities …and don’t forget a plush sleep number bed which was amazing!!! This condominium is right in the middle of amazing shopping and some of the best restaurants on the island..**all within walking distance…look forward to staying here again…
