We just returned from a fabulous girls getaway and George's condo was perfect all around. The location is stellar with walking access to all the amenities at Wharfers Village - an ABC market, lots of eateries and restaurants and a beautiful beach. The condo itself was very comfortable with lots of room for the three of us and we enjoyed being able to have snacks and breakfast on the balcony, overlooking the ocean. We'll definitely be back!
George is an excellent host. The one bedroom at the whaler is well stocked with beach chairs and a beautiful balcony and amenities- we love the whaler and will be back. George is a great communicator which makes for a smooth trip.

Hi Amanda. I’m happy your enjoyed our condo, and your family reunion went well. It’s a great place to come together with others staying at the Whaler the same time. We do it all the time with our extended family. Great that everything went well, Aloha
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beach condo. The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable getaway. The view of the ocean was breathtaking, and loved being just steps away from the beach. The balcony was perfect for morning coffee and evening sunsets. The condo was stocked with thoughtful touches that made if feel like home. Communication with the host was easy and quick, which made checking in and our whole stay stress-free. We can't wait to come back-highly recommend this condo for anyone looking for the perfect beach vacation

Hi Tisha, thank you for being our guest. It was great visiting with you before and during your visit. I’m so glad you and your family had a great time. Aloha to you and your family, George
Whalers resort was a perfect location for a family of four. With two teens, the condo was spacious with two good size bathrooms, and a perfectly stocked kitchen. Everyone had their own comfortable bed to sleep on. The patio was perfect for Ocean view. Being able to use the car was a huge plus we were able to drive to Wailea, Kapalua, and Pai’a. We would definitely consider staying there again.

Thank you Vanessa, knowing you and your family enjoyed yourselves means a lot to us. Maui is a special place, we go often and miss it when not there. Mahalo George
Perfect location, easy walk to beach, loved Whaler Village, the car was perfect for our family of 5 to go snorkeling and see sights, grounds at the Whaler were very well kept and beautiful, staff was nice and helpful, owner was easy to communicate with and very helpful, we had all we needed in our rooms, nicely updated, gorgeous view and loved being so close to the ocean. Highly recommend!
All around perfect! Location great! Condo clean and stocked. We are a family of 4 so having 2 full size bathrooms was convenient along with the Murphy bed and pull out couch. We all had our own space. The hosts were very responsive.
Perfect location, very clean and everything needed for the beach from snorkeling to just relaxing on the beach. Amazing, wonderful place to stay. One of our best vacations ever!

About the host
Hosted by George Woolston
George and Judy Woolston, we have been owners since 1998 and purchased room #657 in 2005. We came to Maui on our honeymoon in 1971. We been in the building business most my life, and bought and sold property. When we first visited The Whaler in 1996, we knew this was a very special place, and began our reserch to own our own place on this wonderful beach front property like no other, even among the fine properties were surrounded with here on Kaanapali Beach. People ask all the time why I think the Whaler is different. Well it’s different in many ways, but here,s one no one can argue with. The Whaler property has two towers separated by a huge court yard, with no building in between the two towers, That gives a beautiful view of the mountains with fabulous rainbows when it occasionally rains, and a ocean view to go along with the Mountain View, so what that does is from the sunrise early in the morning. the sun shines its beautiful light from between the two towers and lights up your day from the beginning of the day. During the day you can enjoy both the beautiful ocean while you enjoy the mountains at the same time. Kaanapali beach walk is as good as it gets. your steps from Whalers Village, it’s so nice to break up the day and take a stroll, shop, eat, and much more. Black Rock is one of the great reasons people want to be here also. And if your so blessed to be here Dec. through March for whale birthing season, its just a time in your life you will remember. My wife and I are retired, and enjoy coming back, several times a year. We live in Boise Idaho, and enjoy its beauty. We have lived on a small ranch and have raised and shown working cow horses, had as many as 55 head at one time, and many more over time. We are presently down to zero. No pets and no kids, all grown and on their own, were free. If you have read our profile you know us some what, Like most people we all have something to say, and thats ours
Why they chose this property
All you have to do is look at the pictures on this site and from other owners, and its a no brainer. Location, Location, Location and weather. Kaanapali Beach was named the number one beach again. 2022
What makes this property unique
Being that the Whaler is a condo property, its so perfect for families and couples alike. Our condo is 905 sq. ft. interior and lanai area 215 sq. ft. you get so much more for your vacation. cooking, free washer and dryer on each floor next to the elevators, large private lanai, our lanai is blocked from the trade winds because of its orientation, and also the sunsets and the privacy that it affords. were on the six floor where your not to high and to low just right. always ask for additional photos. The Whaler is a place you need to come visit and expierence for yourself
