Adorable property in the perfect location! We rented this for our nanny while we were staying in another unit at the Whaler and it was perfect. She was close to us and the unit had everything she needed for a comfortable stay. The Whaler is also the perfect location on Kaanapali Beach. It is only one or two properties away from Whaler's Village, where the best restaurants and food are, particularly now that Lahaina is not accessible. We would highly recommend this unit!

Comfort & Convenience

We had a wonderful stay at this beachside condo! The unit was clean, spacious, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The bed was comfortable, and we especially loved waking up to the sound of the waves and enjoying our mornings on the lanai with a beautiful ocean view. The location couldn’t be better, just steps from the sand and close to great restaurants and shops. Check-in was smooth and we’d definitely stay here again. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and comfortable beach escape.

4/10 Poor

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in
Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
The condo was clean, but unfortunately that was the only positive aspect of my stay. The lanai overlooked a commercial air conditioning system that ran constantly, creating significant noise throughout the day and night. When the restaurant below was open, smoke and cooking odors also drifted into the unit. The bed was extremely uncomfortable, and after several sleepless nights I was so exhausted that I ended my stay two days early. I was also surprised that there was no beach equipment available and not even basic kitchen essentials like salt and pepper. Overall, I cannot recommend this rental. The combination of the constant noise, smoke, uncomfortable bed, and lack of basic amenities made it impossible for me to enjoy my vacation.
