First let me say the owner was the best.She communicated right away which is so helpful! I love staying at the Whaler for its location and this time as usual it did not disappoint. The kitchen was well stocked as was the rest of the condo (towels etc). Can’t lose with this one.

Hi Marielen......
Thank you so much for the great Review~!! So glad you enjoyed your time in our place..and this was so thoughtful. You were a wonderful guest and will always be very welcome with us~! Warm Aloha Sherry
Wonderful place near shopping , restaurants and whale watching! Very close to pool. It does need some updates. I recommend new furniture, linens and especially the shade curtains for the sliding doors… I also enjoyed having a condo vs a hotel for the kitchen especially! Would definitely recommend staying here! Free parking also!

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
This condo is in an ideal location, and the owner is very nice and helpful. I'm sure the condo gets a lot of use. The photos are accurate but must have been taken a long time ago. Everything in the condo is very worn and needs up-dating., even the towels were old and hard. Cupboards and closets need to be cleaned and reorganized. Master shower needs a new control.

Perfectly relaxing vacation. The unit is on the first floor and it was wonderful to be able to just walk outside, sit on the chairs, or wander over to the pool or beach or BBQ. The location is quiet but close to the beach boardwalk and Whalers Village. The condo is clean and had every convenience we needed. The owner was very responsive and went beyond helpful to make our trip enjoyable. We would 100% love to stay here again.

Hi Jim~
Thank you so much for the wonderful review~ it is so much appreciated! We were very happy to have you as our guest, and so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay.
This has to be the best location at The Whaler, and so convenient to just pop out the door to the beach & pool. Also, the washer/dryers are a great item to have available.
Hope you are already looking forward to a return visit, you are always Welcome with us to share this spot in Paradise!

Great stay with very convenient location. Being steps from the beach and a short walk to Whaler village made this stay with a toddler a breeze. Good communication with the owner who had the unit nicely appointed with everything we needed. Would love to come back.

It’s hard to beat the location. Access to the beach and pool are just a few steps away. Restaurants and shops are just minutes away. Sherry (the owner) is super nice and communicates well. Sunsets on the Lanai are wonderful.
