Very enjoyable stay. Location is excellent - great access to pool, beach, boardwalk and Whalers Village. Pool seems a bit small but lots of chairs and umbrellas. Unit was very comfortable and had all essentials. Balcony gives great views of the the beach and ocean.

Hosts and concierge desk are always welcoming, friendly and helpful. Was a little surprised not having towels changed or room made up during our stay (last time someone came on our 4th day), but didn’t really need it anyways since we had 4 bath towels.Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful condo! Great views, great fun and had a great time seeing all the whale activity! Mahalo and Aloha!

This is a great location for our stay for Ka’anapali golf! Everything is in walking distance that we needed even though we went each day to explore the island. The ease of the beach, pool and restaurants make this ideal for families! Doug is an exceptional host, you will want to stay here!
Incredibly clean and beautiful. Fantastic views and the snorkeling was above average. Sea turtles were active and easily seen in a variety of places

Very nice unit in great central location on Kaanapali
Nicely renovated, in very nice property with a great central location. Like that the resort fee is $20/day with parking included vs. resorts which are significantly more.
The condo was as advertised. Absolutely beautiful views of the ocean on one side and the mountains on the other side. We saw a lot of whales right from the balcony. Right next door to shopping and restaurants! Thanks Doug for the awesome condo.
Another lovely stay at The Whaler--the best place on Ka'anapali Beach, we think! We love The Whaler for its location next to Whaler's Village, countless dining options, oceanfront activities, and the best stretch of beach on the island. The Whaler 1015 is a lovely unit--updated and offering a beautiful view from high above the gorgeous courtyard. This unit had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We did not hear a single sound from the hall, neighboring units, or the nearby elevators once during our stay. It is peaceful and quiet! Proximity to the laundry room and the elevators were a PLUS for us, given how quiet it was. Would definitely recommend this unit to others and would absolutely stay here again.

We're glad that the unit had everything you needed for a relaxing stay, and found it to be peaceful and quiet. Thank you for booking with us once again. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you on your next Maui vacation. With aloha, MRR
We loved our stay in June at the condo! It was nicely decorated, had a great kitchen, comfortable bed, and an outstanding view. The grounds at The Whaler are beautiful, and the beach is fantastic. It was so peaceful sitting on the lanai, listening to the sounds of the fountains in the ponds and the waves crashing on the beach, as well as enjoying the view with the sailboats anchored off shore. The location is perfect as you have everything you need along the beach walk including shopping at Whalers Village and snorkeling at Black Rock! We definitely plan on staying here again.
We had a fantastic stay at this condo. Everything was exactly as we had hoped for. The view is incredible and the location is perfect. Loved being on the 10th floor away from the people. All you need to bring here is sunscreen! The owner has it all set up so you can just come and relax. Highly recommend!!
The accommodations were perfect! We had a beautiful 4 night stay and couldn't have been happier. The ocean walking path was our daily exercise! We saw whales pretty close to shore. The pool area is very well maintained, as are the grounds. All of the staff were extremely friendly! And the beach was the best we found on Maui. We highly recommend this property, it was everything we wanted and more!
My wife and I had an amazing time and highly recommend this studio. It was spacious clean and had a great view. Property as described. Thank you for sharing your property with us!!
Of course, the location is amazing and convenient to Whalers Village. The overall property is extremely well run. We were afraid the pool would be too small to be comfortable but it was great! The individual unit was awesome. Updated, clean, lots of beach toys. Great view from balcony.
