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!

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.

This unit was perfect for a couple's getaway to Maui. The view from the unit is gorgeous, location is right next to Whaler's Village and many shops/restaurants, and the beach and pool are both easily accessible. There is no washer/dryer in the unit but there is a free washer/dryer in the common area just outside the door which is easy to use and close. Tennis and pickleball courts were easy to reserve, the communal BBQ is right at the bottom of the elevator, and the staff was all friendly. We will definitely look to stay here again!

Love the convenience of this property. The pool & ocean are steps were steps away from our condo. Lots of shade around the pool and free chairs to enjoy at the ocean. I loved being so close to all the restaurants in Whalers village T night and being able to enjoy breakfast & lunch on the scenic lanai of our condo! The grounds are beautiful and tranquil. The staff was very accommodating and helpful. Can’t wait to go back again next year.

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!!

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.

The condo was as described, everything was clean and it was well maintained. We had plenty of room. We used a couple of the chairs that were available. It was great each night to be able to sit and watch and listen to the ocean while on the balcony. I would rent here again!

This property was perfect for my husband and I. Beautiful location, clean room, comfortable bed, great kitchen, great view, large closet for hanging clothes. Very impressed with the cleanliness of the grounds and pool. Short walk to great restaurants and Whalers Village that has all you need for supplies. The pictures really do a good job of reflecting what you get. We loved the unit and hope to return sometime.

The location was perfect! Next door to Whalers Village which we love! The condo itself was impeccable but my only gripe would be the mattress. It was rather stiff. I prefer a softer mattress but that’s just me! Everything else was perfect! The view was amazing and the staff at the resort was so friendly. We truly enjoyed our stay!

Everything about the Whaler was lovely as usual with one caveat. The pool was closed for half of our stay for cleaning of the pool deck. It clearly needed it but we were not informed of this prior to coming.

We have stayed at the whaler numerous times in the past. It is an outstanding location , and the resort staff are helpful and friendly. Sadly, as we were unpacking we noticed small bugs on the counter tops and cockroaches on the floor and around the lining of the fridge and freezer door. In the evening roaches on the bed. We contacted Maui rental and they sent service , but the roaches remained with us till we departed.We found it disgusting , and I did not sleep well the entire stay. It’s always been sad to head home from Maui, but this time I was ready to leave!! Now I just have stress as to how many roaches caught a ride with me to my home…so disappointing…and by the look of the fridge door lining they have infested that unit for some time. This was not the accommodation or holiday I had expected .

Doug and Cessna provided a unit that exceeded our expectations. Unit was spotless and is the perfect location for all your beach, pool and restaurant needs. View of Lanai with sunsets was exactly what we expected. Condo grounds and pool area was spectacular in view and cleanliness. Less than 5 minute walk to Whalers Village to find any and all amenities couldn’t have been more convenient. Fitness facility was very clean and provided great equipment versatility for our daily workouts. Would definitely recommend this unit and look forward to out next visit.

Mahalo to Doug and Cessna for sharing their piece of paradise. It is as advertised. Very nicely renovated, especially loved the kitchen, all very first cabin. On our first day we had a school of spinner dolphins show up just offshore to everyones delight. My granddaughter is now in love with dolphins and will treasure that moment for a very long time. We had fairly typical December weather with a few very breezy days but mostly perfect weather. We will return!

If you've stayed at the Whaler before, you know that most of the units are pretty much the same layout, IE studio or one bedroom style. This unit is in better condition than most, and very clean with a great view of both the ocean and the mountains. It was very quiet as well. The unit came well stocked with most things compared to other VRBOs I've used. Of course, the location of the resort is great! I would say, however, that the shining star of this property is the owners. Our trip had been booked prior to the Lahaina fire and not only did the owner communicate what was happening with the unit, but with the entire area as a whole. I felt well informed and that I would not have any issues with my booking. I would not hesitate to stay at their properties again in the future and would recommend them to anyone. Thanks for the great stay!

Pros: The apartment was very comfortable. The views were terrific--the mountains were as beautiful as the ocean. The location was within easy walking distance of restaurants and shopping along the beachfront. It was super convenient to have parking available, but we paid a daily fee for that once we arrived.Cons:There was a bad smell of stale smoke(?) when we checked in. Fortunately, the property managers were quick to bring up a deodorizer for the first night. They changed the filters and did an air cleanse the next day during business hours. It was much better after the treatment.Be Warned: We were surprised during the booking process that the various fees tripled the price of the property, so even though the advertised price per night was very reasonable, the final price was much more than we expected.
