Beautiful beach, beautiful place inside. Bathrooms newly updated. Imagine watching the Super Bowl and seeing the ocean on both sides of the TV.

We go to Kaanapali every year, and Whaler 251 has been our favorite for many years.

Nice unit with beautiful new furniture. We had everything we needed to grill a couple of nights. You can’t beat ocean front at the Whaler!

Imagine looking out every window in your condo and seeing the ocean! Amazing views, sounds of the ocean and a clean, spacious place for the 2 of you! Can't wait to return next year!

Great location. Unit needs some updating but it served our needs wonderfully. Owners are absolute joys to work with and respond in a timely manner. We will be back next year.

Stayed for the week of July 4th.
Whaler: Attentive staff, easy check in, very pretty property, well maintained, ample parking in either the underground garage or out by the tennis courts. Has shopping carts in the garage to assist getting items to condo. Nice pool. Tennis & Pickleball courts. Beach front, so great location. Owner very responsive. Clean. Pretty run down (as noted in other reviews). Desperately in need of paint, new carpet and a whole list of "honey do" projects--faucets either stiff and hard to operate or flat out leak all over the place (kitchen). Towel racks and TP holders loose. Need to use caution in sitting in some of the chairs (one of the dining chairs may collapse at any moment and your butt might get pretty close to the ground in one living room chair). No stock of paper towels, dish soap, garbage bags, dish washer pods were really old and crusty. Overall, a bunch of stuff like this.
However, the kitchen appliances are nice, the kitchen is well equipped, all the doors, windows and screens work fine and it's a nice sized place.
As long as you don't get bothered by the general neglect of the place, it's a great location in a great property and is a good home base on Maui for a week.

Can't beat the location on Kaanapali Beach, and the view. Large wrap around oceanfront lanai was a joy. There are certainly options with more luxurious interiors, but not with a better view/location in the building (as close to the water as you can get). Beach was laterally out the door, down some steps. Note people will be walking past the unit on the beach boardwalk all day. Being on the second floor didn't impact privacy inside the unit but will somewhat on the lanai. Unit was also large and spacious. We came from a short stay in a hotel on another island and really appreciated being able to stretch out. Whalers Village is a few yards away next door for shopping and dining. Mostly not a noise concern. Communication with the owner was the best possible. Even reaching out during our stay with a question we got an almost immediate response.

Great property. Sure, not as updated as some, but best location with the best view. Kitchen has what is needed to cook most any meal including utensils for the BBQ grills. Spacious living area, bedroom and 2 baths. Amazing lanai. All shows some wear, but doesn't affect the view. Would be happy to come back again.

If you're looking for an ocean front property this, is it. But that is all it is.
This property is extremely dated, outdoor furniture is rusted, indoor furniture is 1970's old and not comfortable. This unit needs a complete overhaul.
Please do not judge The Whaler by this unit, we have been coming to The Whaler for over 20 years and have never been disappointed until now.

This was the perfect place to stay, close to restaurants, shops and excursions. Gorgeous ocean views, truly water front property. Can't wait to come back!

Due to a flood farther south on the island, I was scrambling to find a new location for my vacation at the last minute. There just happened to be a recent opening and I grabbed it. Even though some furnishings have been well loved over time, the condo is clean and comfortable with an incredible view. Next to shopping, restaurants, and boating tours and a beach that is amazing to walk on. All staff I encountered at the complex were amazing and any questions I had from the on-island managers of the condo were quickly answered. Thank you for saving my vacation!
