We just returned from a fabulous girls getaway and George's condo was perfect all around. The location is stellar with walking access to all the amenities at Wharfers Village - an ABC market, lots of eateries and restaurants and a beautiful beach. The condo itself was very comfortable with lots of room for the three of us and we enjoyed being able to have snacks and breakfast on the balcony, overlooking the ocean. We'll definitely be back!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beach condo. The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable getaway. The view of the ocean was breathtaking, and loved being just steps away from the beach. The balcony was perfect for morning coffee and evening sunsets. The condo was stocked with thoughtful touches that made if feel like home. Communication with the host was easy and quick, which made checking in and our whole stay stress-free. We can't wait to come back-highly recommend this condo for anyone looking for the perfect beach vacation

Perfect Location
Whalers resort was a perfect location for a family of four. With two teens, the condo was spacious with two good size bathrooms, and a perfectly stocked kitchen. Everyone had their own comfortable bed to sleep on. The patio was perfect for Ocean view. Being able to use the car was a huge plus we were able to drive to Wailea, Kapalua, and Pai’a. We would definitely consider staying there again.

6 Stars!
I can't say enough good things about this unit. Had everything we needed and was very spacious. Having 2 baths helped given we have 3 kids. The unit itself was very nicely decorated as per the pictures. The view to the beach was great too (partial but was awesome to have morning coffee on the lanai. The Whaler resort was amazing and truly 5 star from the staff to the amenities. This resort is not just a hotel where people come and go every week but has a lot of residents who stay long term which gave the place a homey & friendly feel. Lots of thoughtful touches (shopping carts to bring up groceries from the parking garage). Whaler Village is right next door is you want access to restaurants & food court, shopping, ABC store. The location ON THE BEACH is amazing too. It was so nice to step outside and you're right there. Black Rock is a 10min walk down the beach where you can cliff jump or snorkel with the sea turtles (every day we saw at least 2 but up to 5 at one time). Our host George was very responsive and communicated with us before and throughout our stay. Mahalo George for everything! I would recommend this to anyone!

Spectacular views
The Whaler is the perfect place to stay in Maui! Right on Kaanapali Beach and a short walk to Whaler's Village and restaurants. Beach towels and chairs are included in your daily resort fee which is a bonus. You can also rent umbrellas which I recommend due to the windy afternoons. We saw many TB umbrellas wrecked. The condo is exactly as shown in photos, The view of the beach, other islands and mountains is spectacular. You can watch the sunsets right from the beach or take a sunset or snorkeling sail that beach loads right next door. Condo was stocked with paper products which was a bonus. Having two full bathrooms was very convenient. Quick response from owner with minor issue. The oversized lanai was fabulous for morning coffee and afternoon naps. Be aware that this side of the Whaler is right next to a restaurant therefore it can be noisy at times. The grounds were beautiful and perfect for pics. I would highly recommend this condo for your vacation in paradise.
