Quality, luxury, and relaxation with spectacular views!

We have stayed at many VRBO properties over the past years and have never experienced the quality and luxury of accommodations that this unit provides. It just may be a one of a kind! All descriptions and pictures are spot on, however, it is difficult to describe the quality of the unit. Views, comfort, convenience, and everything defined is as accurate as experienced. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home,

The Whaler 301 - THE BEST!

I came to Maui the first time in 1975 and haven’t missed many years. THIS IS THE BEST PLACE WE’VE EVER STAYED!! It’s like a small Hawaiian art museum. And this is REAL art! The kitchen: everything a good chef needs. And if coffee is your thing there is an amazing coffee maker. The bathrooms are awesome. The bed is so comfortable. Even the pillows (must be goose down) are so so nice. The cleaning service is the best. WOW!! And Linda (owner) is so nice and attentive and responsive. I need to reserve another two weeks ASAP!!

Awesome luxury condo and awesome location on the beach!

What a great condo and location - top of the line everything! Direct view on Kaanapali Beach and just three floors up and quick access to the beach and Whaler pool. Walk to Whaler's Village shopping and restaurants, or go the other way and find more beaches and great lunch and dinner spots. You can't miss renting this unit for your next Maui vacation!

Better than expected!

Our stay at the Whaler #301 was beyond expectations. The unit is direct oceanfront with a wrap around lanai - great for watching people stroll the beach path, splash in the pool below us, and of course the world famous Maui sunsets were spectacular! Inside the unit is very upscale - beautiful art work, high-end furnishings, and luxury carpet . The kitchen was also high-end as were both bathrooms. We will be back!

Fabulous as usual

We arrived on the 13th of March, and everything was so great. Ocean front is the best way to go at the Whaler Kaanapali. Things started to close down because of the coronavirus but we relaxed in the condo during the week. Highly recommend this unit.

Never leave the beach

Being able to walk out on Kaanapali beach so easily and at times simply look out over the ocean is a pure pleasure and this apartment is ideal for that. The owner was a great help and everything was as advertised. We had a wonderful vacation there.

Excellent Oceanfront Condo

This is a first class accommodation the minute you step in the door. The view from the inside and the wrap around balcony is spectacular. The pictures on the VRBO website accurately depict the condo. The owner, Linda Work, is kind, fair and most accommodating. We look forward to our next vacation in Unit 301 at The Whaler. Thanks Linda, Brian & Linn

Exceptional Location & Furnishings!

In our view 301 is as close to heaven as we can find in our price range. It is located near the beach with beautiful ocean front views at Kaanapali Beach. We can sit on the balcony and watch the whales all day. Having a corner unit is nice as we can sit in the sun or shade at any time of the day on the balcony. The unit is beautifully furnished and well maintained. It feels very much like a home. We highly recommend 301 to anyone. The Whaler is also a beautiful complex that is well maintained with a nice fitness room and on-site tennis courts.

A Very Special Home

We have been coming to the Whalers off and on for the past 25 years and simply never found a unit comparable to this. It has been beautifully updated, fabulously well equipped kitchen, beautiful art, comfortable bed, top quality linens, etc. etc. The owner has foreseen and provided for every possible need. We feel privileged to have been here! Of course, Kaanapali speaks for itself as far as location is concerned, the best on the island!

A Luxurious Paradise...Home Away From Home

The home is just stunning... The views of Kaanapali were incredible. The location is the best! The gorgeous original art was a delightful surprise. I felt so honored that the owner welcomed us into her beautiful home. You could tell that this was not a rental unit but a cherished home...the finishings were all high end. The owner was very friendly and easy to work with. The cleaning staff was also very accommodating and helpful. The place was impeccably cleaned. There were beach chairs which we did not end up using since we loved being in this wonderful home...spent many hours on the lanai... I particularly enjoyed watching the sunsets. The bed was so comfortable that we still want to ask the owner what the brand is to buy a new one for our own home. We hope to return often...
