Completely remodeled Ground floor Murphy bed in living room CLEAN

This condo was amazing for our family! I absolutely love the location on the first floor. It made traveling to and from the ocean and pool so easy. The unit is in great condition and well cared for by the owner for her guests. And if you have young kids the koi pond is only steps away for the morning fish feed. My kids didn’t want to miss a day feeding those beautiful fish. Definitely planning a return to this VRBO!

This was my second stay at The Whaler 119. We love the ground floor access, it is quick and convenient! The condo is lovely and very roomy! Great storage through out, as well. We were thankful for the AC in the living room and the bedroom, it was very warm the week we were on Maui. The murphy bed is a full size comfortable mattress!

Cindy was very easy to work with. Got back to me very quickly with answers for the questions I had.

The beach The Whaler is on is the best on Maui! Fun to walk the short distance to black rock and snorkel. Many restaurants within short walking distance and great shopping.

Thank you for sharing your home with us. We appreciate it and will return!

We have stayed in several different units at the Whaler. This one is absolutely fabulous- Spacious, uncluttered, and well equipped with all of the cooking and cleaning necessities. You cannot beat the location of the Whaler, and then on top of that, the location of this unit. We enjoyed being on the ground floor with such easy access to the koi feeding in the mornings for kids, back and forth to the pool and beach, and just all around convenience. If you are coming to Maui, we highly recommend staying here!!

Cindy's unit was even better than expected. Beautifully furnished, with great mattresses, fully equipped kitchen and the best shower ever. I plan to remodel my bathroom this year, just to get a shower like the one in this unit! The beach chairs and umbrella were a pleasant surprise. The Whaler is my favorite place to stay, because it is so quiet and comfortable and centrally located. Cindy was very accommodating and easy to work with. My friend and I will definitely be back! We stayed two wonderful weeks and then moved to nearby beach villas at a hotel for a five night stay (I had a special "deal" given to me by a relative) and both my friend and I enjoyed our time at the Whaler a lot more than at the "fancy" hotel. Mahalo, Cindy!

The Whaler is our favorite Kaanapali beachfront condo complex, but the lobby is currently being remodeled. Unfortunately, this unit is right next to the lobby construction. Sitting on the lanai is not enjoyable due to heavy drilling, hammering and sawing all day, even weekends. Call the Whaler front desk to make sure lobby construction is complete before booking this unit. As of early December 2016 construction was still under way. The front desk anticipates that construction should wrap up by Christmas.

When we contacted the owner about the construction noise, she was very apologetic and accommodating. She offered to refund our remaining nights' balance if we wanted to find another place to stay. We inquired at the front desk, but the only three units still available were also next to the lobby construction, so we decided to stay put.

Under normal circumstances I would give this property a 4-star, or "good" rating. However, until lobby construction is complete I would not select this unit.

The reason I would rate it a 4-star rather than a 5 is because this particular unit shares a wall with the building's three elevators, causing noise and vibration, primarily in the bedroom. If you are a light sleeper, make sure to bring ear plugs and to keep the bedroom fan on high, as recommended by the owner.

One final note is that the cable modem kept resetting, knocking us off the Internet. It appears to be malfunctioning. We contacted the front desk and they sent maintenance out but this issue was still not resolved as of checkout on Dec. 7. When calling about construction also inquire about the Internet issue.
