Terrific place to stay. Wonderful views. Great location
We enjoyed our stay here. The Whaler and its staff are awesome. It is a beautiful and well maintained property. The ppl from the front desk to the workers as well as the other guests are friendly and laid back. The condo was spotless and had everything we needed for quick brunches to full blown dinners. Dinner from the balcony, taking in that sunset, never grows old. It is an easy walk to Black Rock and the Sheraton where we have always enjoyed snorkeling and always found turtles somewhere around. The Whaler Village has so much going on that if you need a shopping or restaurant fix, it is right next door. Looking forward to returning. It is so easy to find and get into the aloha spirit here.

Had such a lovely time! About 40% of Whalers Village was open but we were grateful for that. The room location and amenities were fantastic - didn’t need anything more! Super convenient for everything and you can’t beat the incredible view. We will definitely come back to this unit!

We will be back! 5 ⭐️ ‘s
Our stay was wonderful. We actually ended up staying in one of the larger condos in the same building also owned by Jim. The room was perfect. Location was perfect. Jim was extremely responsive and helpful! My husband and I are already talking about coming again in a couple years when our kids are older! My only criticism is that the rooms have carpet but that is me just being picky.

Well Appointed Condo w/ Amazing Views
What a wonderful, relaxed time we had at this property. It was exactly as advertised, even better. It was a bit smaller than most VRBO's we rent (think really nice, upscale hotel) but well worth the price paid. The location on the island was perfect and the whale watching was just amazing. We would absolutely stay here again.

Spectacular
My husband, daughter and I had an incredible time here at the Whaler. The unit is spotless and comfortable and more well equipped than my own kitchen at home! Sounds of the waves rolling help lull you to sleep and encourage you to wake up in the morning. Location is all you need; beach, restaurants, shopping and more. Thank you Jim! We are already dreaming of our next visit.

Hawaii for our 17th
We decided to visit Maui for our 17th year together. The check in process was so smooth and very welcoming. . The view out of the lobby looks into Kaanapali Beach and depending on your sight line Black Rock. The room was nicely done and spacious for a studio unit. The kitchen area had all of the necessities. The pull down Murphy bed, while low was comfortable to sleep on. The complex is located right next to The Whaler Village, providing access to shopping and restaurants. The Monkeypod Kitchen serves a great Mai Tai. The complex is near a Safeway market and only a short drive from Lahaina providing additional shopping and restaurants. All in all we had a great time in the unit and would not hesitate to return for another stay.

Honeymooners
***Tip, if you check in early and can’t get in the room do not rent chairs and umbrellas for the week at the beach, because there will be several for you to use free of charge once you access the room! We spent two weeks bouncing around Hawaii for our honeymoon, and 5 nights at this property. The Whaler is the best spot to base yourself in Maui, we actually moved to Wailea for our last two nights on Maui (Wailea Beach Resort) and even though the hotel and pools were beautiful, we both felt we could’ve just finished the week in Kaanapali and been just as happy, but we are beach people at heart. We spent several days on the beach, but also took advantage of venturing off to numerous local beaches within a short drive as Kaanapali can be annoyingly windy at times … Slaughterhouse Beach is a very easy drive and I really recommend!! Great snorkeling, and you can find turtles in the water near the rocks in the early afternoon… for the rental, it was really nice to sit on the lanai and read, eat breakfast, lunch or dinner, or even watch shows on my iPad with a view. Restaurants were crazy, we had some reservations and did take out other nights. I recommend going early to put your name down and either walking around or going back to your room until it’s your turn, its only a 3 minute walk to most places. Prison St Pizza will deliver, and you can walk down to hula grill or monkey pod and order food to go. The bed was really comfortable, the pillows left something to be desired but if you like softness then you will be plenty happy. I also appreciate all of the supplies and that other guests will leave leftover drinks like a few beers, hard seltzer’s or non-alcoholic seltzer’s. Times Supermarket was fine for some stuff but had the worst produce I’ve ever seen. Try to go to Foodland or Safeway instead. Parking in the garage was really easy, and the front desk/lobby area is open 24/7 if you need anything. We would definitely recommend this property!
