Wonderful stay at The Whaler

The Whaler is very conveniently located, right on the long beach, near restaurants and shops. Don't have to use your car unless needing additional groceries. Our unit had a supreme view of Black Rock. The grounds are very well kept and staff was excellent. The unit had very good furnishings on the lanai but interior needs an upgrade. Kitchen utensils and supplies were sparse, at best. Bathroom is outdated. Instructions for control of the TV's were totally wrong, very frustrating. Need accurate instructions. Overall, we will definitely come back to The Whaler but not to this unit unless it gets an update/upgrade.

Sad times in Maui :(

We had a wonderful stay for 5 days until the lights went out in the early morning of August 8, 2023, then the horror of the fire in Lahaina :( Many displaced people along the beach trying to figure out what was next for them, people vacationing at The Whaler barbecuing their food that was sure to spoil and sharing stories about what they knew about the tragedy. The staff at The Whaler were very accommodating and kept us up to date on anything we needed to know! We loved staying there and will definitely return when things settle down for all the locals.

Best location but not the best Host!

Love the location and the unit. But disappointed with our Host. For a premium rental, it’s the first time we have to buy our own shampoo, soap, Kleenex. No coffee or tea provided. Too many fees added onto the initial rental cost.

This condo was amazing! Upon arriving at the front desk to check in to the moment we checked out, it far exceeded our expectations. The condo was perfect! It was immaculate, spacious, the kitchen was fully equipped, newer washer and dryer and a very spacious bedroom with lovely adjoining bath. The balcony was perfect for breakfast and amazing for sunset views, ocean & pool views. The grounds were immaculate and a pleasure to look onto. A lovely fountain and coi pond were lovely to look at. We cannot wait to return!

Accommodations

The location and floor level was excellent. The kitchen is a little worn. Would be safer to have an automatic shut off coffeemaker, liquid soap for washing hands and another for the shower would be nuce.

Great Condo, Great View!

This was our 2nd stay at The Whaler 456. Although the Covid-19 virus dampened our spirits we tried to keep a positive outlook! The staff at the Whaler is great as they were very visable keeping things as safe as possible for their guest. Kudos to them! Hopefully we will be able to return next year?

Great stay. Beautiful unit.

We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you for such a lovely place. Staff at resort are the best. There are no towel racks so wet towels hung over TV, chair backs, etc. Needs cutlery knives and more bowls to cook with. For two people this is great. Four people would get frustrated.

Fantastic Location!

The Whaler is a beautifully kept condo community with a great pool and attentive staff. We loved the central location and being able to walk to shops and restaurants in Whalers Village. Lahaina and Kapalua are only a short car ride away. We stayed in unit 456. The kitchen, bath, master bedroom and lanai were wonderful. The living room was a little lacking in furniture and decor but all of the basics were there. It would have been nice if the kitchen had a few more pre-stocked essentials like Tupperware, ziplock bags, and foil/plastic wrap. An extra set of linenes would have been nice as well. But it did not detract from our experience, we’ll definitely be back!

Great view of Black Rock and Kaanapali Beach

My wife and I had a really nice stay. The unit was well stocked with enough of everything to get us going. The bed was very comfortable. The views were great from anywhere in the unit because of all the mirrors. It would be nice to have a sponge in the kitchen instead of having to use a dish cloth. Washer and Dryer worked great. We really enjoy the Whaler. Great dinner at the Hula Grill, a very convenient walk. Mahalo! John & Jayne

Amazing Maui vacation

My only complaint is that we didn't book more time to enjoy this beautiful condo and amazing island. Everything was just as pictured, check-in was quick and painless and the staff on property was very nice and friendly. The location of this condo was perfect. If there wasn't so much to explore on the island, there would be no need to leave this area. Shopping, food, beach and every excursion you could think of was available within a 2 minute walk. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home! My family will cherish the memories we made here for a lifetime.

Fabulous Stay at The Whaler 456

Our experience in this condo was wonderful! We loved every minute of it. The views were just amazing and so relaxing. Condo was very well appointed with everything we needed. Having the full size washer and dryer was a great plus! Bed was very comfortable. Loved being right next door to Whaler's Village and great restaurants! An A+ experience for us. Thank you so much.

Beautiful views and unit!

The view is excellent, the location is great and the unit was clean. We would’ve given it 5 stars, but we thought the bed was a bit too firm and the pillows were very flat and need to be replaced. If those two things were updated it would be pretty much perfect.

The view is awesome!

This is a really nice place with an excellent location and view on Ka'annapali beach. Kitchen is well stocked and updated. The living room is average with very little tropical decor, but comfortable and roomy. The bedroom has a comfortable King bed and separate A/C thermostat. The bathroom vanity with double sinks is located in a common area and nicely updated. The reason for 4 stars is the bathroom; tub/shower/toilette area is in need of updating.
