Highly Recommended

Overall, I was very pleased with my stay at this property. The place was very clean and well-maintained, and the owner was super helpful whenever I needed to reach out. The property is located in a quiet area, just a short walk from the beach. The place is spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room for our family of four. The kitchen is well-equipped, and the bedrooms are all very clean and comfortable.

Everything was perfect....unit and location

This is a great property! The unit was just as described. Kitchen had all that was needed for cooking, even some spices. Love that there were two chairs, an umbrella, a cooler, and snorkel gear. The view is absolutely amazing....coffee and cocktails on the lanai everyday!

Perfection

I stayed at this condo with my husband and it was so perfect. We will never stay anywhere else again, including a hotel. There was so much privacy, it was quiet and we loved cooking our own breakfast every morning! The condo had everything we needed and the staff and grounds were impeccable. We can’t wait to come again next year and enjoy this beautiful spot in Maui! Thank you, Lori!!

Phenomenal in Every Way

The property was beyond fantastic. Beautifully appointed, spacious, with a location thay can't be beaten. My only knock were things beyond the owner's control. We had back to back days with maintenace having to come in, which felt a little disruptive, but again, beyond the owner's control. I couldnt recommend this property enough if I tried. Would definitely come back.

Ka'anapali Whaler's condo

We had a wonderful stay in Lori's beautiful, bright, clean, condo at Whaler's Village.We even had the use of boogie boards and beach chairs.The condo looks recently redone. Wonderful kitchen with all of the items you would need. Felt spacious and the view from the Lanai was spectacular. We brought our binoculars and watched the whales from our Lanai.Overall a great stay in Lori's condo.Lori even reached out to us right away after the explosion at the grill area. That's the only ugh of our stay.Still praying for the people who were injured during the explosion and their families.We had hoped that Whalers would reach out to us.

Well located and well equipped unit

We have enjoyed many VRBO listings in Maui over the years, but none that are as well equipped as this one. We enjoy cooking in for many meals, and we lacked for nothing in the kitchen for our preparations. Many spices and sauces were available in the cupboards and refrigerator. Also, Lori has beautifully decorated this condo without creating too much clutter or unnecessary items. Beach chairs, umbrella, even fins and a snorkel mask were handy. Location is absolutely ideal for walking, snorkeling, restaurants and just enjoying the beach. You can’t go wrong with this condo.

Exactly as advertised- and Great!

The entire experience was seamless and very well managed. Great unit with great proximity to beaches, restaurants, etc. My only complaint about this property was the work out facilities which are located in the basement and are more like courtyard Marriott type of gym than what I’d expect at a property like this. But the owner warned us that was the case so I still rate the stay as 5 stars. If you're a gym rat, you’ll need to consider other options. If you are okay with a few days of less than idea gym access, this property is excellent.

The condo was everything we imagined

The condo was very nice. Clean and modern. It appeared recently renovated just as advertised. Although we packed everything we needed, the owner Lori does a really nice job of having the condo equipped with extra amenities. The condo is conveniently located and is walking distance from the village, as well as other resorts/beaches/etc. My wife and I were very impressed and appreciate the effort Lori puts into her condo, helping to provide tourists with an awesome experience. HIGHLY RECOMMEND staying here.

A location in paradise in a condo fit for royalty!

We loved this condo owned by Lori! It was even more lovely than described, and plenty of conveniences in the kitchen in the event one really wishes to cook! The setting on Kaanapali is truly beautiful. Lahaina is in close proximity, yet The Whaler and surroundings are truly isolated from the very sad devastation . However, it is very sobering to view the remnants of the fire, and gives one a sense of compassion and empathy for the people there. We highly recommend going to The Old Lahaina Luau. Good food, completely served, beautiful dancing, and the Aloha spirit very alive there!
