Incredible

Location is perfect! I've stayed in many different units at the Whaler for the last 20 years. We did have to put a sheet over the sofa and had a couple stained towels. Otherwise, manager was responsive and we would definitely stay there again.

Slice of Paradise!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely condo. Ideally situated, it met all of our needs (and then some!). Everything was clean, and the layout was perfect for our family of four. The property manager was top-notch and communicated so well before, during, and after our stay. We so appreciated the complimentary waters and coffee upon arrival :-) We love staying at the Whaler, and I would not hesitate to book this particular unit again in a heartbeat. Thank you!!

After the Lahaina fires, we returned home to help my elderly parents whose heydays included the first hotel built in Kaanapali. Having stayed at the majority of resorts here over the years, I highly recommend this hidden gem & experience the staff’s true spirit of aloha.
