Whaler still great location

We've stayed at several condo's in the Whaler, this is similar to many others. Easy checkin, more chairs on the beach now than last time. Didn't use the BBQ but have in the past, highly recommend that if restaurant continue to be crowded in the Village and along the beachfront. Would return again to this unit.

Magnificent view!

The Whaler is a very family friendly environment! The grounds are well groomed staff maintains nonstop. This condo is small but has all the amenities for a great stay.The kitchen was completely stocked with ample cookware and utensils. Bring your own snorkel gear. We had a wonderful two weeks! The Whaler is very conveniently located to many dining and shopping venues and the beach is excellent.

Nice Accommodations

3 observations noted at check-in: (1) Visible mold above ceiling tile over tub; (2) Sliding door to bathroom O.O.S.; (3) Couple of marks /patch work on entry wall to condo. OTHERWISE, condo was nice with excellent view. Above observations were given to Realty Co. Via phone + at front desk.

Beautiful view

We enjoyed our stay; some items we needed for cooking like a baking pan were missing. It's a very nice home away from home - very neat. Thank you for the nice smelling soap. A bit of hair conditioner would have been nice since we do so many water activities. But we should have remembered that. Staff at facility are super friendly! We appreciate you sharing your condo! The fan over the stove did not work.

Unit 715 was not what we thought it would be!

Unit was old and needing remodeling. The AC never worked correctly. I have stayed at the whaler for over 40 years and this was the worst location we have ever rented. I will definitely be more cautious before I rent there again. It was very disappointing.

Fantastic Locafion

Property was clean and newly renovated. Great location and friendly staff. Complimentary photo shoot on the beach was great! Definitely recommend getting a rental car to drive to Lahaina for additional shops/restaurants and you have to pay for parking regardless.

Not quite as expected

The view is as described and The Whaler has many amenities.. We've stayed here before, however, this particular unit was not as desirable as some others. The bathroom sink was stopped up, and although the property manager took care of it, we were left with a very unpleasant odor, which lingered for days. In addition, the oven badly needed cleaning; the sheets didn't fit the bed, so we ended up in a tangle most of the night; and my husband has a deep scratch on his leg, a result of trying to wrest a broken beach chair into submission. In short, I think some upgrades are in order. On the plus side, as I said, the view is as described and the table on the deck, with four chairs around it, is a very pleasant place to watch the sunset.

A wonderful view of Black Rock

We were upgraded to a larger one bedroom suite on a higher floor on the other side of the building. The suite was great and had everything we needed. It had a wonderful view of the ocean and Black Rock and we could see the cliff dive ceremony at the Sheraton nightly at sunset. We appreciated the upgrade to the larger suite but the downside was that we were facing north so it was a bit cool on the lanai and we could not view the sunset from our suite. We had a wonderful vacation and would definitely return to the Whaler!
