Another perfect stay at the Whaler! The unit is beautiful. It has everything you need. Communication with the owner was super fast. We can't wait to come back.
Have stayed at the Whaler many times and I’ll say this is our favorite thus far.
1. Property owner was wonderful--quick to respond, very helpful, and kind.2. Overall impressions of condo: impeccably clean; nice decor without being cluttered and too much like many condos; looks as if it's been recently updated. 3.Great views. Partial from various angles inside and fantastic views from lanai! The unit is just a few back from ocean front.4. Kitchen: fully equipped with anything you'd need e.g. many cooking utensils, plenty of pots and pans and lots of storage containers. Some cooking oils and spices. Ice Maker (not the case at all Whaler Condos). Keurig & regular coffee maker.5. Bathroom lighting. This is huge for me :) It's extremely rare to find a rental that has good lighting for putting on makeup or is at a minimum not too dark or an obnoxious color. And, the master has a magnifying mirror to affix to the mirror...nice touch! Also the second bath is a full bath which is especially nice. Not a second bath or just half in a lot of the Whaler Condos. A lot of counter space in both as well. 6. Storage. There's more than enough room in closets, dressers and bathroom drawers and cupboards to put your things if you like to unpack everything. More than enough hangers.7. Beach Gear: Plenty! 4 Tommy Bahama beach chairs (which are the best to have if you're not familiar), umbrella, and more! AND...very nice to open the door and see a nice note, pineapple, a bakery treat and a very nice selection of coffee and tea!Will definitely be back!
As first time visitors to Maui, it was important for us to have a location central to our interests for our vacation. This condo was absolutely perfect. We went on a whale watching excursion & met the tour right next door on the beach. Golf was literally a 3 minute car ride away. We had many dining options & shopping next door at Whaler’s Village. The condo is exactly as pictured on the VRBO listing. It’s clean, spacious & oh the view !! We watched whales daily from the lanai (owner has binoculars for your use) the sunsets are just spectacular & you don’t even need to leave your condo to see them. We absolutely loved our time at The Whaler, this condo had everything we needed. Laura (owner) responds quickly to any questions I had & was a pleasure to work with. If our travels take us back to Maui, we wouldn’t hesitate to rent this unit again. Thank you for sharing your home in paradise
What an amazing time our family of 4 had!The condo is perfect. Just as listed, but better! Pictures truly cannot show how amazing the view is.The condo has everything you need. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pants, cook ware, blender, kettle, toaster, spices, everything! While we did bring many of our own toiletry items I appreciated having access to shampoo, conditioner, soap, a blow dryer, and plenty of soft fluffy towels. The beds were SO comfortable, which is very important to us. My kids (14 & 16) said the Murphy bed was very comfortable. I loved how we could put the bed away during the day to make the living room fully usable. The location couldn’t be better. Right next door to Whalers village with plenty of shopping and restaurants. It’s a quick drive to the grocery store and other stores if needed. The beach is spectacular. We were here during the big swell so the ocean was unusable for the first 3 days, but we still enjoyed the beach and the pool is great too! Sunsets off the balcony are amazing. And watching the sunrise from bed every morning was my coffee was even better. We can’t wait to be back!
This is my second time renting this unit and absolutely love it. The view is spectacular, the bed is so comfortable and the owner is fantastic to work with. We utilized the umbrella and coolers for the beach and the binoculars were fun for watching the ocean.
Already plan to rent it again next year.
We love the Whaler, and the location of this unit was perfect. Beautiful view and shady.
This was my 3rd time visiting Maui and my 2nd time at the Whaler. Unit 811 was exactly how it was described! The owners answered my questions promptly and the unit has a fully stocked kitchen, several coolers, 4 plus beach chairs, and umbrella, and extra pillows. The king bed and Murphy bed are both extremely comfortable as is the unit in general. I was a little worried about the pool noise but it was not super loud or annoying. We would definitely stay in this unit again.
As always I love staying at The Whaler in Kaanapali. Have been coming here for 43 years and still as lovely as ever.
This is definitely one of the best units on The Whaler property. My wife and I have been staying at The Whaler in various units over the last decade and few come close to this one. The condo is in great condition and was extremely comfortable for our family of four. The views off of the lanai are spectacular and provided a great space to relax after a long day at the beach. My only suggestion to the owners would be to change the curtains to reduce the amount of natural light that comes into the unit. Traveling with two small children who are still in the napping stage made it difficult to put them to bed during the day and they tended to wake up with the sun in the morning. Overall this unit was far above our expectations and we would happily stay here again.
