Very nice stay here and would stay here again. The corner layout makes it feel open and light. That said, it's right next to the pickle ball courts which open at 8 am, so some morning noise is possible with the doors open.
We have stayed at the Whaler many times over the years, but this was our first time staying in this unit. The Whaler is the perfect centralized location on Kaanapali and the grounds are impeccable, however, we will not be staying in this unit again. It was the easy stuff that was not on point: the unit was in need of a deep clean, the pillows were lumpy and stained, the bedding (not the sheets) smelled of of other humans, cockroaches, dirty bedroom floor (had to wear shoes to keep our feet clean), no cleaning supplies, no pot holders, smelly ice bucket, coffee pot left with cleaning cycle needed. If the unit was thoroughly cleaned, the cockroaches removed, and the linens updated, it would be a wonderful condo.
Great location, recently remodeled, and well equipped....just really needed a deep cleaning in a bad way. We have stayed in lots of places throughout Kaanapali, and this was by far the most updated, but dirtiest. The hide-a-bed was listed as not usable, so as-advertised, but would be a nice addition if it were functional. Would stay again if better cleaning protocols were in place.
It’s always nice to stay at The Whaler.
It was our 5th time staying in this unit and it continues to be our favorite. Thank you so much for your accommodations.
The condo was just like the photos, fully stocked and even had a beach umbrella. The views from the lanai were great, both the ocean and beautiful mountains. Conveniently located next to shops and restaurants.
Excellent property, great location! Communication from owner/management exceed expectations.
Loved this condo. The Murphy bed worked great for our two kids to share. The pull out couch was broken, hopefully that gets fixed soon. The beach umbrella is also broken so we weren’t able to use that either. Great location, easy access to shopping and food. the staff on property is great, the management company was great too. Very responsive and easy to follow instructions. Great amenities, our kids especially loved the beach toys included. Overall, if you have a family of 4, this is the perfect condo if your kids can share a bed. Will be even better once they fix the sofa bed. We loved it and Maui in general.
We stayed in this idyllic condo April 2024. The location on Ka'anapali beach is great and this condo's location is perfect in the back corner of tower 1 with views of the mountains and ocean. The condo has floor to ceiling sliders on 2 sides and enables you to get so much fresh air while still maintaining privacy. We loved that the unit had 2 bathrooms, one with a great soaking tub and the other with a walk in rain shower. The decor was beautiful and very comfortable. The unit comes with boogey boards, umbrella and some beach toys but no beach chairs. The common areas of the resort were very clean and all staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. We will definitely stay here again when we return to Lahaina.
You can't beat the location and the condo had great appliances and amenities. Very tastefully decorated. If I have one negative thing to say, its that there was a lot of road noise between loud motorcycles amd sirens.
Sunrise view over the west mountains, and an ocean view from the wraparound lanai. Clean, comfortable...overall a great vrbo experience! Unit had beach chairs and an umbrella, or you could rent from the resort. Right on the beachwalk and next door to Whalers Village restaurants and shops.
Very nice, would stay again, unit was as described, would be perfect with in unit washer/dryer.
This unit is in a building with a great location, on the beach next to restaurants and shopping. The building has excellent management, staff and security. There was some noise from construction within the building during the weekdays we were there, but there was nothing management could do.

Overall our stay was fantastic. Property is beautiful, clean and in a wonderful location. Easily walkable to many activities and steps from the beach. The balcony was large and we enjoyed our morning coffee out there every day.
The only downside - we booked 6 months in advance and had paid in full. Exactly 5 weeks prior, the owner decided to occupy themselves during our last 2 days, so we were forced to find other accomodations and switch locations with very short notice. It ended up costing us a lot more that what we had paid for the condo. I am aware that it is in the contract that the owners can do this, it was just highly inconvenient and costly to us.
Overall, stay was amazing, only knocking off 1 star due to the last minute cancellation of our last two days.

We had a fabulous time at 224! It was beautiful, bright, clean, spacious and had everything you needed to be comfortable! We loved everything about it, especially the wrap around lanai!
We’ve stayed at many units at The Whaler and this one has been, by far, the best! We would definitely seek out and stay here again!

Everything was easy and the condo was in a great location on the beach with a nice golf course across the street. Comfortable bed and nice kitchen.

Perfect location, perfect service at check in, perfect view! We found it extraordinary! It is important to take note of the resort and cleaning fee as they are additional costs.

This condo was close to Black Rock for snorkeling and Whalers Village for some quick food. The location with in the building was great as well: sunrise and mountains from one part of the balcony and sunset and ocean views from the other. Very comfortable with all the amenities we wanted.

We had a Wonderful time in Maui and the most relaxed stay in the Whaler #224!
Everything was fully stocked, extremely clean and comfortable. We had 5 days of rain in a row and we still had a great time because our unit was so spacious and inviting😊
We can’t wait to come back👍
