We have stayed at a several units at the Whaler and this was one of the best. The decor is pleasant, furnishings comfortable, beds are great, and there is a variety of lounging and dining furniture on the wrap around lanai. It is a large open unit with great views. Looking forward to staying here again. Mahalo!

Wonderful place, roomy and clean with beautiful views and the resort is close to everything! They had balls and chairs for beach days which was wonderful! Having laundry in th condo was awesome also. We are a cooking family, so that’s the only thing I’d recommend the condo to have more of: forks, soft spatulas, pizza cutter, sheet pan, etc. I think there were 6 forks at the time of our stay so we had to do dishes every time which is doable, but more would be better. We would definitely recommend and stay there again.

Fantastic Stay

We had a fantastic stay at this unit a few weeks ago. The unit is large (looked like it consists of two combined units), well-appointed, and in the best location in Kaanapali. The wrap-around balcony was fantastic. I would not hesitate to stay here again. Thank you!

The perfect condo for a family trip to Maui

The space is very comfortable and well thought out. The balcony looping around the entirety of the unit was our favorite. Even with some rain we were able to sit outside and enjoy both the view of the mountains and the beach. it felt very safe. You had everything you might need even if you didn't feel like getting in the car, with Whaler's Village a short walking distance around the corner. The Xplorie partnership is incredible. We really enjoyed booking our excursions through them!

Stay here!

The condo is even better than the listing says. You are right at the resort in a prime location, in the middle of the beach. This area had a nice breeze. The condo is BIG and clean. Has chairs, umbrella, boogie board too! We arrived late and check in is 24/7. There is a security guard to let you in to parking lot- he had our name and check in was seamless. After a LONG travel day, this was amazing!
