PENTHOUSE PREMIUM OCEAN FRONT WHALER-200 DEGREE VIEW-SUMMER BARGAINS AVAILABLE

OCEAN FRONT 2B2B CONDO ON KAANAPALI BEACH MAUI
THE QUIETEST CONDO ON KAANAPALI BEACH
ALTHOUGH MUCH OF LAHAINA WAS DESTROYED IN THE RECENT FIRE,
A WIDE VARIETY OF RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES ARE STILL AVAILABLE JUST MINUTES AWAY

We bought this unit because we fell in love with the spectacular view visible from this corner penthouse ocean front spacious Condo with a wraparound Lanai. There is no finer view in all of the South Pacific with more than a 200-degree panorama of Kaanapali Beach, Maui's finest Beach together with scenic views of Lanai, Molokai, Kaanapali Beach and the West Maui Mountains. Floor to ceiling windows allow unobstructed ocean views from the completely remodeled bedrooms, living room, dining room and kitchen. Three flat screen HDTV's and in house washer and dryer provide convenient living options. Both bathrooms have been completely remodeled with floor to ceiling tile, granite counters and rain glass shower doors. The floors in the kitchen, entryways and hallway have been replaced with ceramic tile and new carpet has been installed throughout the rest of the condo.

The Whaler has recently completed more than $40 million worth of property renovations and enhancements over the last10 plus years. The ocean front heated pool has a paver deck and 10-foot diameter hot tub. On the property there is a fully equipped exercise room, sauna, racquetball and tennis courts. The redesigned courtyard with a new larger koi pond is magnificent. The covered garage between the towers has been refurbished including a waterproof membrane over the roof. Both Towers have had their railings replaced and new tile applied to the lanai decks and tower II has just been repainted and tower I will be repainted later this year. A wider more elegant driveway has been built at the Porte Cochere where you check-in. The entrance off Kaanapali Parkway has been redesigned.

The location puts the convenience of two world class golf courses close by, with at least a dozen restaurants within walking distance. Next door is The Whaler's Village Shopping Center with many upscale shops, a whaling museum. Five hotels, and five other condominium projects are nearby. A paved promenade allows easy strolling along Kaanapali beach. A free Trolley allows you ride between all the properties on Kaanapali Beach.
Lahaina, the historic capital of Hawaii had much of its core destroyed in the August 2023 fire and currently the burned land and structures are being cleared so that rebuilding can be done. The county has given the greenlight for some structures to rebuild now. The Cannery Mall, Safeway, Walgreen's, Longs, The Gateway and nearly all of the industrial area toward the mountains from Walgreen's and the restaurants on the beach behind Safeway miraculously survived the fire and are back in operation.

Stunning Views/ Amazing Location

This was the most wonderful place for us to stay with our two college kids. Right on the beach, steps to Whalers Village, with the most incredible deck overlooking the coastline. The sunsets were amazing. Hope we are lucky enough to be able to come back to this beautiful penthouse in the future.

Great location, great host communication! We enjoyed the stay in this unit!! But since we cooked a lot, those frying pans needed to be replaced (all scratched up badly..) and more drinking glasses needed for the group of 6.. Other then that, it was all good; fantastic stay!!!

The Best!

Our 6 night stay was simply the BEST! The Whaler is in the perfect location on Kaanapali Beach. The unit was pristine and plenty big enough for 4 adults. We had breakfast every morning on the large lanai overlooking the Pacific while planning our days adventure. Gordon was very nice to work with and answered any questions we had in a timely manner. We will be back!

Dream view on Kaanapali

This is the best view on Kaanapali beach! It’s so iconic, there is even a fine art painting of the view in a gallery in Lahaina! Such a relaxing and lovely place for a stay on the beach, with beauty day and night; sunset, stars and moon over the water.

About the host

Hosted by Gordon Fall

Host profile image
Carole and Gordon Fall and their family have been coming to Maui since 1971. Carole is a retired anesthesiologist and Gordon is a semi-retired family physician in their home city of Seattle. Their family includes 3 children, and 7 grandchildren. They purchased their first Maui home in The Whaler in 1976 and have owned three different units in The Whaler. Currently, they own and use 1252 which is the penthouse unit in Tower II. They stay in their unit in The Whaler for several months in the Winter. They love the year-round tropical weather, tennis, paddle boarding and surfing in the Ocean and swimming in both the Ocean and Pool, watching the whales, dining in wonderful restaurants, and shopping in the many boutiques and craft fairs on Maui. They are constantly upgrading the unit and adding to or changing furnishings.

Why they chose this property

Carole and Gordon have traveled extensively to every continent and have found that there is no better place than Maui to combine relaxation, peacefulness, safety, and a wide variety of recreational and entertainment activities with an ideal year-round climate. This realization and the relatively easy access to Maui from Seattle prompted them to initially buy their first unit in The Whaler in 1976 and then as the family grew in 1980 bought this 2B2B unit to better accommodate the family.

What makes this property unique

Staying in The Whaler allows you to walk the length of Kaanapali Beach and visit 5 hotels, numerous condominium projects, more than a dozen restaurants and many shops without ever having to cross a street. Swimming, paddleboarding, boogie boarding, surfing, fishing, snorkeling, sailing, diving off Black Rock, tennis, racquetball, golf, many restaurants and shops are just a few yards away. In 1252 in The Whaler, you have both the finest view on Maui and the quietest location in The Whaler.
