My adult daughter and I stayed at Whaler #313 January 8-15, 2010. The condo was very comfortable and appealing; it felt larger than I expected, and we had everything we needed, and then some. I felt that Ethel had really put thought into what would make guests feel at home and making things easy for us. The laundry was right down the hall, and I had no trouble with availability. The location is really nice. We enjoyed the shaded lounge chairs and grassy area several times, and I read several of the books that were provided. Ethel was great to work with, and I would stay here again. Rhonda from Grover Beach, CA

We stayed at Ethel Grant's beautiful condo in The Whaler on Ka'anapali Beach for 10 days over Christmas, 2009. The condo is well-equipped, spacious and comfortable, and tastefully decorated in island style. We especially enjoyed the daily sunset views from the covered lanai. The condo is perfectly situated on the third floor overlooking the lovely gardens and pond with sunset beach and ocean views. The Whaler, in our opinion and after many visits to Maui, is the nicest vacation condo complex just a short walk from the famous Black Rock just 200 yards to the north along Ka'anapali Beach. Dealing with the owner, Ethel Grant, was a pleasure. She responded promptly to email messages and handled the transaction in a friendly, yet professional manner. Mahalo Ethel!

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful condo with us. The condo is clean, nicely furnished, and fabulous view of the pool and ocean. We will be in contact with you next year. We have been traveling to Maui the last 15 years, your unit is by far the nicest. Thank you again.

We had a great stay at the Whalers in this condo. The condo had a beautiful ocean view and we spend many mornings on the lanai drinking coffee and eating breakfast. The condo was clean, comfortable, nicely decorated, and had everything that we needed for our week long stay. If we ever return to Maui, we would definitely stay in unit 313 again.

Oh to be back on Maui again! We had a fantastic holiday. Your condo met all our expectations. It is very nicely decorated and well equipped. We weren't lacking anything and were very comfortable there. Our friends have a place on the 9th floor and they have seen alot of the rented units over the years. They also thought your unit was very nice compared to some they have seen. We hope to maybe go again next spring , we are just thinking about dates. Sincerely, Bart and Laura

This place was so clean, comfortable and cozy! It was such a cute place and the location was excellent! It was in the middle of Kanapali beach and easy walking distance to anywhere along the beach. The parking garage was also very convenient. I would highly recommend this condo!

"As frequent guests at the Whaler, we have found #313 to be everything we need. The lanai of the condo affords a magnificent view of beautiful Ka’anapali Beach along with the gardens and koi pond of the Whaler. In winter months, we enjoy the added benefit of spectacular whale watching from sunup to sundown. The condo has all the amenities we need if we eat in while convenient to the beach, pool, BBQ’s and Whaler Village restaurants. It is our little piece of paradise." Aloha,Jodi

My wife, infant son, and I stayed in unit #313 for four nights this past November. The unit was clean, comfortable, and in very good condition. The view on the 3rd floor was great as this unit is a couple doors toward the ocean from the elevators in the center of the tower. We'd stayed in another studio unit at The Whaler the year prior but #313 was much better furnished and decorated. The unit's owner was a pleasure to work with and very accomodating. As I mentioned we stayed in #313 for just four nights as we had another reservation following in a one bedroom unit in the south tower. Especially given our infant son, a rented crib, and all of our luggage, we really needed to have a late checkout from #313 to cover the time until we could move into our other unit. I emailed the unit's owner the night before and she promptly contacted the front desk to arrange a late checkout. What a huge help. We'd recommend this unit to friends and family.

WE had a wonderful week in December of pure relaxation. The Whaler is within walking distance to many great restaurants and shops. A lovely beach and pool too. Definitely a place to relax and get some sunshine.
