Unit was amazing. Just high enough not to hear the day to day hustle, but low enough to use the stairs instead of the elevator if you wanted. Sunset views were stunning!
We stayed here for 10 days with our family and the property is truly amazing. Stunning views from every room. it could not be closer to the beach and the location next to The Whaler village perfect for shopping and dining. Thank you Heather and Charles for an amazing stay in Kaanapali!
Fantastic Location, Property, Condo. Views were amazing. Best Sunsets and breeze. Not too high and not too low. You can hear the waves crashing lightly as sleep. Worth the dollars. The balcony and corner location were a bonus.
Beautiful property, view of black rock. Heather was great to work with. Very comfy beds.

Best Location on Maui
This was a perfect location for a relaxing vacation for my mother and I. We spent a lot of time on the balcony. It was very easy to simply walk next door to Whalers Village and get dinner. We also especially enjoyed having both ocean and Mountain views.
One of my criteria for staying in Hawaii is always being where I can hear the ocean sounds at night. This place very much exceeded my expectation. We could sit on the lanai and see whales as well as hear and see the ocean crashing. The instructions and tips provided by Heather were excellent and we loved picking up food from a nearby restaurant and eating in the condo as it had a much better view than any restaurant. We are already talking about going to stay here again next year. It is perfect. The property is lovely and the amenities are perfect.
Wonderful large condo perfect for our family of 5. Large lanai overlooking the ocean and viewing the many whales was a treat. Great location near Whalers Village and resort hotels and restaurants. Mechanical issue with refrigerator was quickly resolved with no disruption. Excellent communication with both owner and on-site management company. We hope to return again soon.
I would highly recommend this condo to anyone planning a trip to Maui. The views are amazing and somehow even more beautiful in person. The wraparound lanai was huge, and we spent much time out there enjoying the view. The location is perfect. You couldn't get any closer to the beach, and it was super convenient being next to Whalers Village. The condo was very clean and had everything we needed. The owner, Heather, and the on island contact, Charles, were both super helpful and great to work with. I truly couldn't have asked for a better experience all around, and I can't wait to go back one day!!

Amazing Experience!!!
We absolutely loved our stay at Whaler 522! The condo had everything we needed for our stay. We cooked a lot so were very thankful for the well stocked kitchen. The beds were very comfortable as well as the couches! But let's talk about that view! WOWZA!!! We watched the sun rise every morning and the sunset in the evenings. It was so peaceful getting to sit out and enjoy the sound of the waves. Heather was amazing to work with! Seriously, we are very thankful for everything she did for us to accommodate our stay! Charles was also great. He was quick to respond with answers to questions we had. The location of the condo was perfect. Walking distance to restaurants, shopping and other hotels. The staff at The Whaler was also great! There is no doubt we will be back to visit again!!!!

Absolutely beautiful and relaxing place to stay
We had such a lovely time in this unit. We spent hours upon hours on the deck just watching the world go by.
The rooms are spacious, the beds are super comfy, the kitchen is well stocked, it's clean.
Loved it loved it loved it.
Note for people with mobility issues, the toilet is very low, we had to buy a toilet seat riser from the drug store. Also, if you need to use the portable pool chair lift, forget it. We struggled to get security to get it set up for us and the second time we used it they just vanished and we had to figure out how to get my husband out of the pool in the dark. After two swims we gave up asking.
Still giving the place 5 stars as it is so lovely and we had the best time despite the pool frustration.
The Whaler is in the perfect spot, centrally located on Kaanapali Beach. If you don't mind the stairs, you can be down on the beach in about one minute from the kitchen of this apartment. Perfect for us as we are back and forth all day!
This unit is huge and has the most amazing views (including sunset!) out of every window. It is clean and beautifully decorated and the beds are extremely comfortable with cozy sheets and pillows. We found everything we needed in the well-stocked kitchen, so when we wanted to cook it was easy.
We were traveling with a baby, and they were very accommodating about getting us in a little early for nap time. It was the perfect spot for whoever had to stay in for naps to never feel like they were missing out, as you are practically on the beach when you're on the balcony!
We have stayed at the Whaler many times but this was by far the best unit we have rented. We will be back! 10/10 would highly recommend.
What a beautiful, comfortable unit! We had everything we needed to feel right at home- from beach to kitchen supplies, they are stocked! We loved being on the 5th floor, corner unit. We could easily walk up and down the stairs to the beach or the whaler. Heather and Charles were very receptive and accommodating. We can’t wait to come back.
We loved our stay at Whaler in Kaanapali! This condo was perfect for our family. You can’t beat the location and the view. It had everything we needed and the communication with the property manager was exceptional. We will definitely try to stay here the next time we are in Maui.
Absolutely perfect... The condo was spacious and comfortable. The wrap around balcony was amazing for ocean and mountain views. Some of the best snorkeling is right on Kaanapali beach. Whaler's village was a short walk for restaurants and shopping. We are already planning our next visit.
Beautiful property!!! This property is probably one of the best in Maui. So close (2 min walk) to all the shops and restaurants and literally right on the beach! The view is spectacular. Property was clean and very spacious for my family of 5! Highly recommend this unit and we will definitely be back!
We have been vacationing in Maui for over 20 years and staying at the same hotel. This year we decided to change it up and this home exceeded our expectations! Beautiful place with the most amazing views. Going to miss my morning coffee view! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home and allowing us to create new memories on this beautiful Island! We will definitely be back -Mahalo
We have been to Kaanapali several times. This was our first time staying at the Whaler. We were very happy we picked this location. The views were incredible. The condo was perfect for our family of 4. I cannot think of a better location to stay when in Maui.
