Great location and view. Can’t beat the Whaler location, the noise from Whalers village below was a distraction when sitting on the balcony - but the ocean views made up for it!
This property was even better in person. The location couldn’t have been better, and the views were spectacular. Would definitely stay here again and recommend anyone else to do so as well!
We loved this unit in Tower 2 south facing. It was very clean. This unit is decorated perfectly as it is not overly decorated absolutely perfect. We will definitely book another stay.
The property was well appointed, clean and ideally located for the relaxing vacation we needed. Spent a lot of time on the Lanai and on the beach sitting in the property provided beach chairs. An earlier reviewer mentioned the noise from the Hula Grill and MonkeyPod restaurants below but it wasn’t that bad from our perspective and the views outweighed any background noise. Would rent the same unit again.
For us, the studio had some shortcomings for the price paid. The view of the ocean is good, and you can hear the surf, but the room’s location was noisy at times. A/C units on the adjacent building, delivery trucks beeping in the early morning and construction work on the 11th floor.
The host had welcoming gifts waiting for us which were much appreciated. (We arrived during an electricity blackout, and the gifts, including cookies which were our dinner that night, came in handy.) The host kept in touch with us regarding future blackouts through e-mail throughout our stay. They were very kind.
fantastic property. only complaint was two towels for two people for four days. other days pool towels were unavailable. altogether a great place to stay
Everything was perfection. There was even a bag of coffee for the stay. This unit is very quiet, but steps away from no charge laundry. In all, we couldn’t ask for anymore.
Lovely room, beautiful view. Very clean! Had everything you needed from the stocked kitchen to beach chairs. Communication with property mgmt was great! Would definitely stay here again!!
Wife and I came back for our anniversary. Great location next to restaurants, shopping and great beach/snorkeling. Courtesy shuttle was great for trips into Lahaina. Very easy process from start to finish.
This studio has nice furnishings , comfortable bed and every cooking utensil you would need.
The ocean view is great ! We used the barbecue and enjoyed meals on the balcony.
Great views central Elton everything. Just 1 towel per person for your entire stay. Also Whaler staff a few times were not pleasant but overall great place would stay again
This is one of the best properties I have ever stayed at, and it is such a perfect welcome to Hawaii/Maui for us. The location cannot be beaten, and the view from the lanai is a perfect way to start/end the day. Maui Resort Rentals is also very good at communicating with us - they make the process extremely streamlined.
We will definitely recommend this condo, and will be back again in the future!
I love staying at the Whaler and this is by far my favorite studio. It’s not overly crowded with furniture and everything is nicely spaced. I like being on the side facing the Whaler’s Village as well because you can hear the live music and smell all the good smells. Will definitely be back.
Condo was very clean and well appointed. Dry food storage was difficult as no available cabinets to keep items off counter or stove top. I don’t care for clutter especially if cooking. The sofa sleeper was noisy and uncomfortable to sit on. Used available laundry once, near the elevators, which was great. Views were wonderful as we could see whales from the balcony (with our binoculars). The loading and unloading of catamarans on the beach was enjoyable to watch. It was noisy from the restaurant’s below the unit during the day. I did contact Maui Resort Rentals once with a question and they responded quickly. We enjoyed our stay very much.
We had the best time staying at the condo. It was in the middle of everything, walking distance to the shops at Kaanapali, and all the different beaches. We had an incredible view of the ocean every day. The condo unit was perfect for both of us because there was a little kitchenette with a full-size fridge, a large enough bathroom with a shower for both of us, and lots of storage space. The best part of the condo was having the laundry room near our room to do laundry for free! Lastly, we enjoyed having beach chairs and a cooler that came with the condo! We hope to stay again in the future!
Beautiful unit inside but frustrating to be overlooking Whalers Village and hearing the malls air conditioners over the ocean noise. Nicely furnished unit.
Great place to stay in Kaanapali! Quiet and clean. There are a few snorkels in the closet as well as a beach umbrella, which was super handy. All the people who work in the condo building are really nice and helpful.
