Perfect location

Pristine grounds, site events were welcoming to guests and much appreciated. Unit could use some wear and tear updates but perfectly comfortable and its first floor walk out access to grounds and view were great. Would definitely select Whaler's condos again

We loved this rental! The win for us was LOCATION. Easy access to Whaler's Village, snorkeling at Black Rock, the beach, walking to meals & Hula Pie, and the first floor unit made it so easy to get around. No elevators!If you read some of the other reviews, could the unit use a little updating? Perhaps. But did we mention the great location? Owners were very responsive. Beach chairs & umbrellas come with the unit plus a working ice-maker (rare these days). The one thing we overlooked is that there was not a washer/dryer in the room but the laundry down the hall was easy to use.

Great location nice unit

We just got back from a week at the whaler in this unit Pros of unit : Very nice unit ,decor is really nice ,very clean and open unit ,location is middle of Kaanapali and unit is ground floor and has all the amenities we needed ,walk to Whaler village lots of shops ,food and ABC store really nice unit and staff of Whaler are great very nice folks and the grounds are gorgeous, easy parking for rental car ,very close to beach Cons: You better learn the rules of the whaler there is a group of people who either live there or are long time/term residents of the "Older" generation and they are not nice and after over hearing multiple conversation with these folks they "hate" short term rental folks like ourselves it made it very uncomfortable and these folks were not friendly or nice That said we learned to avoid them i will say there is a very diffrent vibe in Maui especially in the Kaanapali area as there is a huge push to eliminate short term rentals like this unit its an unfortunate situation and Maui and the people of Maui either want tourists or they dont We loved this unit and the whaler but given the exsiting tenants in building 2 we would not stay here again as we are on vacation I need mom and dad watching my every move and we are in our mid 50s and are the quietest people we don't drink or smoke and honestly could not figure these folks prob was not just us but others talked about this as well these tenants are really sad people and are angry and rude .

This property was clean, convenient, and memorable for its proximity to the beach, drinking coffee on the lanai and watching whales jump in the ocean. We also loved being able to walk to great snorkeling at Black Rock.

Great ground level for our family of three

This is our second Christmas staying here! We enjoy the ground level and all the things there that make staying here comfortable (beach chairs, boogie boards, coolers, rice cooker, coffee maker, spices, and towels). We hope to stay here again! We even donated our boogie board to the condo...maybe it will be there when we come back?

Great value and location!

Perfect location if you are looking for relaxation and the convenience to walk to restaurants, bars and a few shops. Loved my morning ocean swims and walks, runs along the paths lining the water. And convenient if you want to hop in the car and explore all the beauty & activities around the island. The condo is well equipped. Recommend for couple with or without 1 or 2 small kiddos.

Love This Condo

We have stayed in this condo once before and chose it again for its great location and all the extras it offers. Having a ground floor location makes trips back and a forth to the beach quick and easy and the patio is great gathering place. This condo always seems to have lots of extras including umbrellas, coolers, and chairs in the closet and lots of extra dishes for making meals at the BBQ. Definitely one of our favorites!

Very clean and nice!

We loved it. The kitchen had plenty of utensils. The pool and the hot tub are about 50' away and the ocean is about 100'. Super handy location. We did lots of hanging out, pool time and walks on the beach with coffee every morning is a must! The owner and manager are both great to work with, and very good people. Thanks!

A+ Location!

This condo was great, exactly as pictured. The ground level unit was fabulous, 20 steps to the beach, pool and lobby. Very clean and quiet. You can listen to the waves crash all day long. The Whaler offers complimentary washer/dryer just 5 rooms down the hall, free towels and beach chairs. First come first serve chaise lounges on grass and pool area with 2 large bbq areas for cooking your fresh catch of the day. You are only a few steps away to Whaler’s Village with great shops and dining. Black rock is a short beach walk for snorkeling and cliff jumping. The condo is stocked with lots of nice extra amenities. We will stay here again - thanks for making our family spring break trip wonderful!!!!

Location Location Location!

We absolutely love being able to walk through the patio doors onto the lanai and directly into the pool or ocean. Combine this convenience with a really spacious and comfortable one bedroom condo and you’ve got a recipe for vacation success Admitted the condominium is a little dated, but the furniture is very comfortable, has good style that matches and just does the job in a very comfortable way. Well appointed kitchen with all critical appliances and utensils. A fantastic king size bed that made it hard to leave the apartment sometimes. If you’re a stickler for having everything brand new, and in resort condition , then you might wanna look twice but if you’re all about comfort convenience and a perfect location, then don’t look any further. The closet was well stocked with a boogie board, chairs, umbrella, and some snorkeling masks. There was suntan lotion, still in the closet. Lots of herbs, oils, and condiments in the cupboard… All this added up to a very easy week on Kaanapali beach!

Can't imagine that it gets better than this.

This home was perfect for our stay when traveling with two teenage boys. The ground floor unit was so convenient to come in and out. I thought we would be sacrificing a view by not being on the upper floors but that was not the case. We sat out on the lanai for coffee in the morning and every meal. The unit is the second unit from the front so you are really just steps from the beach. The kids were able to walk to black rock and whalers village everyday. The unit had everything we needed. The kitchen was well equipped and there were plenty of spices for cooking. We were alotted 1 roll of paper towells which didnt last us our entire stay so you might want to add that to your shopping list. I will agree with previous posters about the cockroaches. We did see one or two each morning, but it was NOT due to a cleanliness issue. It is a ground unit condo in a tropical island, there will be bugs. If your lucky, you might get a gecko friend in your unit and they help with bugs. They are good luck and are welcomed in Hawaiian homes so don't try to mess with them. You'll know they are there when you hear little chirps that sound like bird chirps. There wasnt snorkel equipment this time like other reviews have said. But there are chairs, umbrellas, and a skim board. There is a kiosk by the pool that rents chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, and snorkel equipment. We rented snorkel equipment from them and I wish I would have rented elsewhere to save some money. You will love it here.

Beware of cockroaches!!

We booked this unit for our family of 3, including our 11-month old baby specifically for its location as it was on the ground floor. Upon arriving in the evening, the unit appeared very clean however we noticed several cockroaches in the kitchen. The next day, we noticed more and more cockroaches throughout the day - on the counters, in the fridge, in the dishwasher, in the sink, and in the cupboards. We messaged the property manager right away, and she was very responsive however it took 2 days for pest control to come in. Over those 2 days, the cockroaches were all over the kitchen and even in the living room and bedroom. We were uncomfortable with the chemicals being sprayed around our baby but we had no other choice. Unfortunately the pest control treatment did not get rid of the cockroaches and we had to spend the next 6 days of our vacation avoiding the kitchen completely. We had planned to make all our meals in the condo but we’re unable to due to the infestation. Upon checking out, I told the property manager that there were still cockroaches in the unit and she informed me that they found a hole under the kitchen sink (!) likely where they were entering from. The owner refused to acknowledge or offer any sort of compensation for this massive inconvenience. It is unfortunate as the unit, although somewhat dated, would have been the perfect spot for our dream vacation. Save yourself the headache, hassle and anxiety, and book elsewhere!!

Wonderful property and location

Had a wonderful stay at this property. It's in the Whaler complex right on the beach and next to Whaler village. Good pool, gym, BBQs on the property. The apartment was very well equipped - lots of towels, oil/salt/pepper etc in kitchen, beach stuff on cupboard. A little dated and too many mirrors for my taste (!) but that's just visual and the apartment is exactly as described and appears in photos. Would highly recommend.

This condo has it all!

We rented this condo as a family of four. It absolutely exceeded our expectations. Large and roomy, comfortable bed, everything we needed. There were boogie boards, umbrella, snorkeling gear, insulated picnic bag, and beach chairs. The pull-out sleeper sofa was good for kids, adults notsomuch, but the rest of the couch was comfortable enough to sleep on. There are two patio sliding doors, and you can walk right out to the beach and/or pool. We were there on spring break but it was never too crowded. The pool area had fresh coffee and a hot tub. Restaurants and shops a few steps away. The beach out front was beautiful, with black rock great for snorkeling. I would highly recommend this place!

Being new go vid UTI get Maui, we didn’t know what to expect to where to stay! They kindly switched us to their ground level unit when I let them know we have a 1 year old and 2 other kids. We loved being able to open the slider to the grass and walk straight to the pool, beach or boardwalk! The unit was spotless and well equipped with everything we could have needed and more… (a trundle, a pack & play, snorkel stuff, beach toys, kitchen supplies, etc.!) We cannot wait to be back!
