Great place, nicely updated. Spotless. Kitchen is well enough stocked. It is overlooking Whalers village - so got both some music, alittle noise, and then there was construction going on at Whalers which you could hear very clearly through out the day if on the balcony. Great location. and great view. I would definitely stay again.

We went through the hurricane 75 mile an hour winds Furniture is flying off of balconies no power for 36 hours the rental co came and gave us flashlights, extra chargers, headlamps, lanterns, and freshwater. They were amazing. On a note of the actual place tower, one facing the restaurants and the mall, the smell was overwhelming all the time you have to leave the windows closed or you will smell food cooking at all hours of the day and night.

Mahalo for your comments. We’re sorry that the severe conditions of Hurricane Lala had an impact on your stay. Our standard procedure is to remove all items from the lanai, so we apologize if that protocol wasn't completed for your unit. We’re glad our team was able to provide water, flashlights and other equipment to aid you throughout the power outage, and we're pleased to hear their service was amazing. We appreciate your feedback and hope that, outside of the storm, you enjoyed your Maui vacation. We hope to have a future opportunity to host you again. With aloha, MRR

Excellent overall! Needs a few things to make it even better.

This was a great condo, excellent in many ways and it was as advertised! The kitchen is not well stocked (no cutting board, very few plates, silverware, glassware, coffee cups, skillet without a top) and no pot holders or hot pads. We used the kitchen towel for a hot pad and we bought our own cutting board that we took home with us. The WiFi was great, the view was awesome and overall we had a great time.

Aloha Tracy and mahalo for your comments. We agree the views from this home are awesome and we're glad you had a great time. Sorry the home was missing kitchen items. We have addressed this shortage with our team and ensured the home has 6 place settings. We also ensured there is a cutting board. In the future, please don't hesitate to reach out as we would be more than happy to address issues such as these while you are in house. We hope to see you again someday.

Top floor

This is top floor. Not Penthouse quality. Lanai furniture is old and needs replaced Very uncomfortable. No clothes basket or plastic storage containers. Condo needs renovated. We have stayed in several units at The Whaler. Love it here. Have booked another unit for next year. VRBO is excellent to work with and the housekeeper was Excellent!!

Aloha and mahalo for your comments. We regret that this stay at the Whaler fell short of your expectations. We inspected the lanai furniture, and while it is a simple style, we found it to be free of damage and reasonably comfortable. Laundry baskets and storage containers are not part of our standard, but in the future please don’t hesitate to reach out as we are happy to provide extras from our warehouse when possible. We wish you all the best with your future travels. Kind regards ~ Maui Resort Rentals

Wonderful accommodations in Maui

This was our first trip to Maui and we were thrilled when we walked into this unit. It was perfect for two people. We loved the view from the balcony and having our coffee outside each morning. The location in Whaler Village was perfect. Close to restaurants, shopping and the beach was wonderful. We especially liked that we could get umbrella and chair rentals each day. The grounds are very nice and the staff and concierge were very helpful. Would highly recommend.

Overall, very good but selling to new owner just happened

All good with minor issues, toilet broke, but otherwise quite happy. TV is in awkward place and balcony has sun most of day. Some may want that and some may want more shade on balcony. You can see sunset every night from balcony too!!

Aloha Susan and mahalo for your comments. We're glad to know you enjoyed the sunset views from your lanai. Sorry you had an issue with the toilet, but glad it was easily fixed with a new flapper in the tank. We hope to see you again. With warm aloha, Maui Resort Rentals
