Incredibly clean and beautiful. Fantastic views and the snorkeling was above average. Sea turtles were active and easily seen in a variety of places

Yes we would stay again!

This is a great location for our stay for Ka’anapali golf! Everything is in walking distance that we needed even though we went each day to explore the island. The ease of the beach, pool and restaurants make this ideal for families! Doug is an exceptional host, you will want to stay here!

Recent stay

Couple of things:I had to have staff come up to figure out what was going wrong with the TV - Some guest had apparently DVRd a ton of shows. I think there's also something wrong with the remote.There was a dead bug in the fridge, on the kitchen floor and several on the porch which I don't think was cleaned at all.

Perfect location, beautiful view, gorgeous unit!

This unit was perfect for a couple's getaway to Maui. The view from the unit is gorgeous, location is right next to Whaler's Village and many shops/restaurants, and the beach and pool are both easily accessible. There is no washer/dryer in the unit but there is a free washer/dryer in the common area just outside the door which is easy to use and close. Tennis and pickleball courts were easy to reserve, the communal BBQ is right at the bottom of the elevator, and the staff was all friendly. We will definitely look to stay here again!

Mother-daughter annual spring trip

Love the convenience of this property. The pool & ocean are steps were steps away from our condo. Lots of shade around the pool and free chairs to enjoy at the ocean. I loved being so close to all the restaurants in Whalers village T night and being able to enjoy breakfast & lunch on the scenic lanai of our condo! The grounds are beautiful and tranquil. The staff was very accommodating and helpful. Can’t wait to go back again next year.

Hiding in Plain Sight

Of course, the location is amazing and convenient to Whalers Village. The overall property is extremely well run. We were afraid the pool would be too small to be comfortable but it was great! The individual unit was awesome. Updated, clean, lots of beach toys. Great view from balcony.

All the great reviews were spot on

We had a fantastic stay at this condo. Everything was exactly as we had hoped for. The view is incredible and the location is perfect. Loved being on the 10th floor away from the people. All you need to bring here is sunscreen! The owner has it all set up so you can just come and relax. Highly recommend!!

Great views and location, very high booking fees

Pros: The apartment was very comfortable. The views were terrific--the mountains were as beautiful as the ocean. The location was within easy walking distance of restaurants and shopping along the beachfront. It was super convenient to have parking available, but we paid a daily fee for that once we arrived.Cons:There was a bad smell of stale smoke(?) when we checked in. Fortunately, the property managers were quick to bring up a deodorizer for the first night. They changed the filters and did an air cleanse the next day during business hours. It was much better after the treatment.Be Warned: We were surprised during the booking process that the various fees tripled the price of the property, so even though the advertised price per night was very reasonable, the final price was much more than we expected.

A bit of paradise at The Whaler!

Our first time at The Whaler and it’s special! Beautiful condo on the 10th floor with a wonderful view, nicely appointed room and many thoughtful touches.. All the amenities of home, wonderful staff on property and our VRBO host Doug was a pleasure to work with. Mahalo! We’ll be back…

Lovely as usual

Everything about the Whaler was lovely as usual with one caveat. The pool was closed for half of our stay for cleaning of the pool deck. It clearly needed it but we were not informed of this prior to coming.

Cockroachs

We have stayed at the whaler numerous times in the past. It is an outstanding location , and the resort staff are helpful and friendly. Sadly, as we were unpacking we noticed small bugs on the counter tops and cockroaches on the floor and around the lining of the fridge and freezer door. In the evening roaches on the bed. We contacted Maui rental and they sent service , but the roaches remained with us till we departed.We found it disgusting , and I did not sleep well the entire stay. It’s always been sad to head home from Maui, but this time I was ready to leave!! Now I just have stress as to how many roaches caught a ride with me to my home…so disappointing…and by the look of the fridge door lining they have infested that unit for some time. This was not the accommodation or holiday I had expected .

Whaler Ocean View Studio

If you've stayed at the Whaler before, you know that most of the units are pretty much the same layout, IE studio or one bedroom style. This unit is in better condition than most, and very clean with a great view of both the ocean and the mountains. It was very quiet as well. The unit came well stocked with most things compared to other VRBOs I've used. Of course, the location of the resort is great! I would say, however, that the shining star of this property is the owners. Our trip had been booked prior to the Lahaina fire and not only did the owner communicate what was happening with the unit, but with the entire area as a whole. I felt well informed and that I would not have any issues with my booking. I would not hesitate to stay at their properties again in the future and would recommend them to anyone. Thanks for the great stay!

Great location, very clean

We were very happy with this condo. It’s very clean, has an ocean view, (Your straight on view is of the other tower. But if you sit outside, one person gets a nice view) near the elevators but didn’t hear any noise. The furniture and everything is nice and updated. It’s sort of like a hotel with check in, and a pool/beach towel exchange. There are plenty of appliances, but it’s not stocked with spices or cooking oil like most VRBOs, not even salt and pepper. We did our grocery shopping before checkin in, so that was pretty inconvenient. The ABC store sells a tiny bottle of oil for $7! Ouch. The goggles were broken. The fins fit me, I’m a womens size 8. There is some very convenient underground parking, but it fills up fast and if you drive to dinner you will most likely have to park outside a little ways away. There is also a $25 a day resort fee that you pay to the whaler when you check out. It was still 5 stars in my opinion and worth all the minor inconveniences, because it was clean and in a great location.
