Seeking a premium luxury condo for a special vacation . . . . . WHALER UNIT 312, located on the more comfortable and quiet (North) side on the third floor of Tower 1, is a garden and ocean view, five-room suite of luxury accommodation rooms in The Whaler on Ka'anapali Beach, the "Grand Lady" of resort condominiums centrally located on the beach rated by many travel magazines as the best beach on Planet Earth . . . Ka'anapali Beach, Maui.
For that special Hawaiian vacation, WHALER UNIT 312 is spectacular and has recently completed a half-year full renovation for our guests. It is a 5-STAR resort apartment in every respect. Newly appointed with an updated kitchen, featuring Viking and SubZero appliances and beautiful granite counter tops. The gourmet kitchen and both luxury baths are updated with extensive use of elegant mable tiles and best quality cabinets and fixtures. The apartment has a convenient wine chiller-refrigerator and cabinet bar for entertaining. The master bath features a designer marble-tiled "shower chamber" with opposing 'his and hers' Grohe shower heads and controls.
Built of steel-reinforced concrete walls, ceilings and flooring, the towers of The Whaler are structurally superior and measurably more quiet than many of the surrounding resorts. As an added measure to further assure guest privacy and satisfaction, extensive use of the newest high-tech soundproofing materials was installed within the bath walls and layered on all water pipes during the recent remodel of the apartment to minimize audible water pipe sound and any other noise from transferring into Unit 312 from surrounding apartments. Unit 312 is a very quiet suite of rooms -- restful enjoyment of the apartment is assured.
Unit 312 is a comfortable one master bedroom suite (extra sleeping accommodations by use of the convertible sofa), with two elegant baths, this suite of rooms has a fabulous view of the beach and beachwalk and the Pacific Ocean beyond, mystical Black Rock (a sacred Hawaiian volcanic rock feature of Ka'anapali Beach), and spectacular, picture-perfect Maui sunsets directly from our lanai. The comfort, convenience and decor panache of Unit 312 does not disappoint.
Furnishings are luxury quality throughout, including several Hawaiian heirloom pieces made of rare koa wood. Unit 312 also contains a museum-quality Polynesian art and artifact collection for guest enjoyment. Available for guest use are two flat screen TVs with DVD players and home theatre sound system with a 70+ DVD feature film collection with favorite movies of past Oscar award performances, action, adventure, history, westerns, fantasy, and favorite animation features for the children for fun evenings of nightly 'family film festivals' and on those rainy days when the kids can't play outside.
Possibly the best luxury quality accommodations that The Whaler on Ka'anapali Beach has to offer . . . Unit 312 will make your Maui vacation a joy to remember.
*******************************************************************
The owners also own and operate "The Mother Ocean" (tm), a 2-acre private celebrity style, sandy beachfront estate on the Kawela central coast of the Island of Molokai. A wonderful family Hawaiian vacation can be arranged by reserving several nights at Unit 312 in The Whaler to enjoy the 'Maui resort' experience, and then taking a short inter-island flight or ferry ride over to Molokai to spend several nights for a more traditional Hawaiian residential luxury experience on the beach at The Mother Ocean (tm) estate.
The Mother Ocean (tm) residence was constructed to resemble a Hawaiian royal summer home. The Mother Ocean (tm) has secluded and secure property grounds, private swimming pool and tropical waterfall, 2-acres of lawn-covered, palm tree-laden park grounds, 270 ft. of sandy beach on the premises, and 2,400 square foot main residence (3 large bedrooms, 2 1/2 bath, gourmet kitchen, library/video room, and large, expansive living and dining rooms with vaulted ceilings, and central air conditioning). Our friendly and helpful estate caretaker lives in a separate cottage on the estate to assist our guests. The magnificence and beauty of all that Molokai Island offers await you for a truly 'unique, traditional Hawaiian experience' without the resort crowds, the noise and the hurry. Combine these experiences into a truly memorable family vacation experience -- one for the decades.
See VRBO property listing number 120535 for the details on The Mother Ocean (tm) estate. Contact the owners in California for information and reservations regarding The Mother Ocean (tm) estate.

I rented this condo as an add on to my time share for two weeks. We absolutely loved the view from the lanai, and having a second bathroom was just heavenly. The king size bed was extremely comfortable, and the fully equipped kitchen wanted for nothing. There was even a wine fridge and closet with stemware, where the board games are located. Although we did not spend too much time in the condo, it was more comfortable than the time share that I stay annually.Carol, we want to thank you again for your hospitality. We will look for your condo the next time we stay in Maui...

This was my first VRBO experience and it was wonderful. My husband and I and two boys, ages 12 and 15 stayed for a week here and it was perfect!! Would highly recommend. They even had beach chairs we could take to the beach. Nicely furnished. Owner great to work with. Thank you. ps GREAT movie collection -- not that we had too much time to watch them :)

Stayed for 8 beautiful balmy/sunny days, enjoyed the relaxing & pleasant accommodations with nice Hawaiian artifacts that weren't overdone, "simple yet elegant"! The kitchen was nicely renovated with top-notch appliances with everything you would need to prepare a home-cooked meal right down to the place-mats. The wine fridge was ideal for our wine, bottled water and sodas. The view of the ocean and Black Point from the wide and spacious lanai was breath-taking. This unit is close enough to the elevators, washer/dryer and trash chute, but not too close to get all the foot traffic. The double showers in the master bath was awesome. I liked being able to the adjust the height of the showhead. The king-size bed was very comfortable and plenty of closet space and drawers to hold everything. The beach chairs for our use was an added touch. The only problem I had was the overhead fan in the living-room wasn't working. We wanted to enjoy the fresh air from the lanai, but the air got too warm without the circulating fan, my solution was to keep the front door open & get a cross-breeze! Aloha & Mahalo for letting us enjoy your island home, it made our stay on Maui even more pleasurable!!!

Carol: we loved our stay in your condo this May. The remodel and view were better than the pictures and Kim was so helpful. Snorkled Black Rock in the mornings and relaxed at the pool in the afternoons. The Whaler staff were very welcoming and we loved the location. Your bed was very comfortable and the lanai was large and lovely. We hope to return to your condo next year.
