About this property

Whaler on Kaanapali Beach Oceanfront Corner Luxury 2 Bdrm w/ wrap around lanai!!

Breathtaking views of Black Rock, Molokai, and Lanai - Whaler 552 is a beautiful 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom suite located oceanfront at The Whaler on Kaanapali Beach. Enjoy year-round sunset views and seasonal humpback whale watching right from your own lanai! Just steps from the world famous sandy Kaanapali Beach, you will love this bright, corner location, abundance of windows and wrap around lanai. But as if the location isn't enough - the beautiful finishes and furnishings leave no question that you are in the tropical paradise of Maui. Gorgeous travertine floors, granite counter tops, beautiful koa wood kitchen cabinets and luxurious beds and linens will surround you with both beauty and comfort.

This unit is perfect for two couples traveling together as both bedrooms are outfitted with very comfortable King size beds facing the ocean, custom padded upholstered headboards and luxurious linens. If you have 5 in your party - the very comfy roll away twin bed can be moved to any room.

Kaanapali, which means "rolling cliffs" in Hawaiian, was a royal retreat for the rulers of Maui who delighted in the perfect three-mile stretch of white sand beach, the gentle waves, warm sunny days and the inspiring backdrop of the majestic West Maui Mountains. Maui's royalty surfed, raced their outrigger canoes, feasted on luaus that lasted for weeks. These same activities are offered right outside the door on glorious Kaanapali Beach! Your front lawn from this unit.

The Whaler is located in the heart of Kaanapali, adjacent to Whalers Village which offers world class dining and shopping.

Resort amenities include central A/C, tennis courts and pickle ball, beach side pool and towels, lobby and poolside coffee and cool drinks, Jacuzzi, newly renovated exercise room, covered parking, concierge, pool, barbecue area and gated entry.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Slice of paradise

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.

Amazing views and condo

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.

Beautiful Condo

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!!

The Best Time!

This was our second visit staying at this exact property and it was just as great the second time around. The location cannot be beat and the unit is really well maintained and super clean. The location is literally steps from the sand and walking distance to many resorts, restaurants, and shopping along Kaanapali beach. We did a rainforest hike and were able to swim in fresh water lakes and waterfalls through Hike Maui, which was amazing and I highly recommend it. A visit to the Heavenly Spa at the Westin was super relaxing and we were able to swim with a sea turtle just out front of the property. I highly recommend this property and the owners were so easy to work with and made everything seamless!

About the host

Hosted by Heather Hansen

Host profile image
My husband, son and I live in the beautiful state of Washington where we own and operate a sports medicine clinic. We purchased this Condo in 2019.

Why they chose this property

Coming from an area that offers hiking, biking, water skiing, snow skiing - and jaw dropping beauty, we were a bit picky about where to spend our vacation time. After numerous trips to Maui, and years of vacation rental experience, we are still hooked and can't imagine spending time anywhere else.
As Maui vacationers prior to our purchases, we have experienced the island the same way many of our guests do. The Kaanapali area offers a tremendous variety of beaches, proximity to Lahaina, the famous boardwalk, the most amazing sunsets and the glorious views of Lanai and Molokai.
Our spacious corner unit has one of the most incredible views at the Whaler and on the island - now newly refurbished it is also one of the nicest places to stay as well! This condo is located on the north west corner of the south tower (Tower 2) which means you will not only have the gorgeous west ocean views but the unobstructed north facing ocean shore views featuring Black Rock as well. Watch the whales from December through April right from the wrap around lanai - or even the luxurious ocean facing beds!

Enjoy the views in complete comfort and luxury in this two bedroom, two bath unit, which features air conditioning, dishwasher, microwave, flat screen televisions in both bedrooms, (smart tv in living room), WiFi and a full size washer/dryer. Kitchen and bathroom counter tops are granite and the cabinets are gorgeous Hawaiian Koa. All finishes and furnishings create a luxurious, tasteful tropical feel. Appliances are top of the line. The unit has a beautiful travertine floor tile and plush carpets in the living room and both bedrooms that feel like heaven on feet after a day in flip flops.
Having owned another vacation rental located north of this location at the Mahana (919) we were ready for another vacation rental property that was equally as beautiful but different in location and resort amenities...The Whaler!

What makes this property unique

Our family loves to be comfortable. And we love beautiful things. When you're spending hard earned money for a vacation, you should expect the place you are staying to be cared for, and designed well. How do you FEEL when you are in a space? Are the colors soothing? Is it clean? Are the pillows and sheets luxurious? Is the bed spread 100 years old? YUCK!!! We have selected furniture that is comfortable and beautiful. We pay attention to these things and take your trust in us very seriously.
When you stay in our Maui paradise, you will be provided with everything you can think of to make your vacation a special one. And, you can rest assured that I will personally do everything in my power to ensure you are taken care so that you can create wonderful Maui memories to last a life time.
