Incredible all around

The host is very helpful and kind. The condo is in a fantastic location on Kanaapali beach and near the whaler village. The condo itself is absolutely perfect for a family, the beds sleep great including the Murphy bed, it is stocked with everything you would need and more from appliances to spices etc, trash bags etc. The lanai is so peaceful and has amazing views. There are also beach chairs and toys available. Couldn’t have found a better place - thank you so much for the hospitality !!

Family, friends, fun and fun

We rented this unit for our annual trip to Kaanapali this year. Liz was a dream to work with. We loved that for unit was so close to the beach and pool. Our friend Ceej, one floor below us each year and it was perfect for going down for cocktails on the lanai after dinner. The whaler is a clean and beautiful place to stay with immaculate attention to their groundskeeping. We wouldn’t stay anywhere else.

Perfect 1 bedroom.

This place is large, bright and comfortable. The location and view were so so nice. We used and loved the lanai so much...especially for playing backgammon and "sunning" just a bit :) It's special to be in tower one with a courtyard & ocean view. The bed & the Murphy bed slept really well. The kitchen had everything you might need...we ate in several times especially for breakfast. It was easy to tidy up. We took the trash out everyday, thus our room always seemed beautiful and inviting. If you've never been to the whaler, let me tell you, being so close to Whaler's village and so many restaurants is just the best! The washer and dryer are so close and free, so that's perfect, we never had to wait for anyone - haha - no need to overpack!! All in all - perfect! Communication with both Liz and Karen was easy and helpful. A+ :)

The best place on Kaanapali Beach

The Whaler is our favorite place to stay on Kaanapali Beach. There are great amenities within walking distance and the beach is fantastic. Excursions are easily booked from this location and it’s only a few short miles to Lahaina. This unit was perfect for our family of 4 and our favorite part was the balcony that overlooks the ocean. Plenty of room to hang out and relax after a long day on the beach or out surfing.

Perfect in every way!

This condo is so fabulous and even better than the photos show. Super clean, the king sized bed is very comfortable. The condo has every amenity you could want or need. Location is also fabulous we had many mornings on the lanai drinking coffee watching the hosts and waves, and evenings watching the sunsets. Just a short walk to many restaurants and shopping. Thank you for having us stay we will be back again next year!!
