......Just a few comments from our happy guests:
- 'We are Whaler vacation 'regulars' and this is, by far, the nicest unit we have stayed in. We're booking our next vacation reservation for this unit before we leave for home.'
- ‘We have stayed at the Whaler many times, and this is our favorite condo - beautiful Hawaiian furnishings, gorgeous sunsets from the lanai, and we LOVE the 3rd floor location , which makes for an easy trip up the stairs to quickly grab something to bring back to the beach versus having to walk and wait for the elevator. Can't wait for our next trip!’
- 'Our most memorable Hawaiian vacation. We'll be back to the Whaler on future trips, and we'll ask for your unit every time.'
- 'Your kitchen is amazing. I took photos for ideas for my own upcoming kitchen remodel.'

Seeking a premium luxury condo for a special vacation . . . . . WHALER UNIT 312, located on the more comfortable and quiet (North) side on the third floor of Tower 1, is an ocean and garden view, five-room suite of luxury accommodation rooms in The Whaler on Ka'anapali Beach, the 'Grand Lady' of resort condominiums centrally located on the beach rated by many travel magazines as the best beach on Planet Earth . . . Ka'anapali Beach, Maui.

For that special Hawaiian vacation, WHALER UNIT 312 is spectacular and has recently completed a half-year full renovation for our guests. It is a 5-STAR resort condo in every respect. Newly appointed with an updated kitchen featuring G.E. Cafe and SubZero appliances and beautiful granite countertops. The gourmet kitchen and two luxury baths are updated with extensive use of elegant marble tiles and best-quality cabinets and fixtures. The condo has a convenient wine chiller-refrigerator and cabinet bar for entertaining. The primary bath features a designer marble-tiled 'shower chamber' with opposing 'his and hers' Grohe shower heads and controls. The second bathroom also includes a washer & dryer for smaller loads to use at your convenience.

Built of steel-reinforced concrete walls, ceilings and flooring, the towers of The Whaler are structurally superior and measurably quieter than many of the surrounding resorts. As an added measure to further assure guest privacy and satisfaction, extensive use of the newest high-tech soundproofing materials was installed within the bath walls and layered on all water pipes during the recent remodel of the condo to minimize audible water pipe sound and any other noise from transferring into Unit 312 from surrounding apartments. Unit 312 is a very quiet suite of rooms -- restful enjoyment of the condo is assured.

Unit 312 is a comfortable one-bedroom suite (extra sleeping accommodations using the convertible sofa), with two elegant baths. This suite of rooms has a fabulous view of the beach, beach walk, and the Pacific Ocean beyond, mystical Black Rock (a sacred Hawaiian volcanic rock feature of Ka'anapali Beach), and spectacular, picture-perfect Maui sunsets directly from our lanai. The comfort, convenience and decor panache of Unit 312 does not disappoint. Furnishings are luxury quality throughout, including several Hawaiian heirloom pieces of rare koa wood. Unit 312 also contains a museum-quality Polynesian art and artifact collection for guest enjoyment.

Possibly the best luxury quality accommodations that The Whaler on Ka'anapali Beach has to offer . . . Unit 312 will make your Maui vacation a joy to remember.

Wow, amazing!!!
What can I say more than the review title. This condo is huge and has everything that you can think of including a 2 person shower as a en-suite. The condo is like new and well decorated, you could not ask for anymore. The location which is steps away from kaanapali's amazing beach couldn't be any closer. The location near the whaler village and restaurants is very convenient. You are on the quieter side of the whaler and no noise can be heard at night. The pictures and view are exactly as per the pictures provided. I would love to come back to Maui one day and would definitely stay back in this condo. Mahalo Carol

Perfect condo!
First time staying at the Whaler and everything was even better than expected. The location between Whaler's Village and Black Rock (where we snorkel) can't be beat. The property itself is beautiful and very nicely kept. The on site management - including the concierge - is very friendly and helpful. This unit was terrific. It's a quiet spot with a great view of the beach and Black Rock. It's been nicely remodeled with very functional finishes and high end appliances which operate beautifully, which is so appreciated bc I love having use of a kitchen and laundry. Filled with thoughtful touches for guests so we wanted for nothing. Also of note - this unit is very close to elevators that take you down to the parking garage so coming and going was a breeze. The Whaler even provides small shopping carts in the parking garage so that you can easily do a week's worth of grocery shopping and bring it up in one easy trip. So nice!! We definitely recommend and would stay here again. :-)

Nice place
Nice place. Loved the full condo AC. Great views from the balcony. Actually saw some whales. Great location right on the beach. Parking could be a pain but we always found a spot (last one). Nice to have the Whaler Village close by. We thought the couch was not very comfortable but we were never there very long. Would highly recommend.

This property is just as advertised. Loved the Hawaiian decor and beautiful artwork. Condo was extremely clean, and well stocked with supplies. Really liked all the light dimmers-over the stove, dining room table and bedroom lamps. Appreciated all the nightlights throughout. Lots of comfortable furniture on balcony to enjoy the view. Loved having front loading washer and dryer in unit, as I was traveling with my son. Owner was wonderful to work with, and very accommodating. Looking forward to renting same property in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Stephanie Hunt Ballabio

Host profile image
As a family, we have been coming to Kaanapali for more than 25 years. We bought at The Whaler because we had stayed here on vacation and loved the convenient location with shops and restaurants next door at Whalers Village and the great beach.

Sitting in the living room, watching Black Rock and listening to the sounds of the ocean is unbeatable! A perfect day for us is a walk along the beach strand in the morning with a stop by Starbucks, followed by a relaxing day at the beach with walks down to Black Rock for snorkeling and finished with dinner (and mai tai) at Leilani's. We look forward to welcoming you to our condo!

What makes this property unique

Outstanding location, shady (not hot) lanai with a great view of Black Rock and the ocean. Being on the 3rd floor, we are high enough for a good view and privacy yet are not uncomfortably high. Our condo has upscale appliances, a fully furnished kitchen, a unique master bath with 2 showers and touches of Hawaiiana throughout (see our pictures).
