Amazing location with a great view. Short walk to Black Rock snorkelling area and excellent amenities in the pool and koi pond. Easy access to the beach and to markets and food court at Whalers Village. Very clean and good space for storage. Pull-out bed was as comfortable as one might expect it to be.
Pool time was very good. Tv was not easy even with the instructions. Unit was very nice and clean. We loved it and would like to stay there again when we plan our next trip to Maui. I believe we left the unit in good clean condition.
Condo is very clean and quiet, right on the beach!Restaurants are very close and snorkeling at Black Rock is great, highly recommend!Note you will have to pay parking at front desk (not included in vbro price)
We absolutely loved staying in this condo. It was comfortable, clean, great view and close to a lot of restaurants and shops. We would love to come back.
I have stayed at the Whaler a few times and this unit was the most clean and updated, lots of space for 2 people and very comfortable! Loved the kitchen and porch space. Would definitely stay here again.
Property was very clean, staff was friendly and helpful. The views were breathtaking and it was overall a great experience

Beautiful property and we would definitely come back again. Doesn’t have the best pool if you’re wanting a really nice pool, but everything else is amazing. Rooms are nice and spacious.

After the Lahaina fires, we returned home to help my elderly parents whose heydays included the first hotel built in Kaanapali. Having stayed at the majority of resorts here over the years, I highly recommend this hidden gem & experience the staff’s true spirit of aloha.
We have stayed at the Whaler several times and this was the nicest unit to date. Recently remodeled with current decor. Nice view. Host had all the necessary kitchen equipment and beach chairs. Communicated easily. Will definitely return!
Very impressed with the updated decor and newer carpet. Very clean unit. Could use a few more cooking utensil options and newer pans in the kitchen, but supplies were decent. Overall a nice studio! Thank you for the chips and 2 packets of coffee, nice touch!

The slider to the deck needs work, lot of wind noise thru the gaps. No cleaning service during our 3 week stay. Overall a nice place to stay😀😀
Great room and centrally located next to Whalers Village. Walking distance to many spots along Kaanapali beach. Was not notified that parking is first come first served. Garage parking is usually full and overflow lots are really close so it wasn’t a big deal really. Would come back for sure.

We are lifelong Lahaina residents, decades before the 1st hotel (Sheraton) was built in Kaanapali. Had my 2 adult children stay here who came to help us after losing family home to Lahaina fires. Superior & superb accommodations at a good rate. The hotel & it’s employees exude the true spirit of Aloha, making your stay a truly wonderful experience! You

Natural disaster
We were at the Whaler during the fires and we understand it was a natural disaster so our input is clouded by this disaster. Our hearts go out to all the families and everyone that was impacted. The staff at the Whaler was incredible and did a great job in managing the situation. We hope to return again and hopefully we will have a better time.
