About this property

#557-Amazing Ocean View & Sunsets-Walk 2 Restaurants-Beach Items Provided

Our unit # 557 is 1 bedroom condo sits one unit back from beachfront. There are great views of Ka'anapali Beach from both the living/kitchen area and the bedroom. Enjoy a very comfortable nights rest on the Eastern King bed in the master bedroom,a queen sofa bed in the living room, and a single roll away in the master closet. We have provided items for families such as port-a-crib and toys for the little kids.

The kitchen has the necessary items to make almost anything you can imagine. If cooking in the kitchen is not your thing then the BBQ might make you happy (just outside the lanai on ground floor.) The lanai that has all brand new furniture looks to the south which gives the unit good light all day. The Whaler is located right next door to Whalers Village a shopping center known for it's great restaurants (Hula Grill, Lailani's, and Maui Fish Co. and other fun island shops. The Whaler offers a remodeled workout facility to work off all those vacation calories. If working out is not in the plan maybe the on site spa is your thing.

This condo is a great place to stay for a trouble free Hawaiian vacation.

As per Hawaii House Bill 2078 Act 326 we have designated Monte Fitts Realty” on Maui as our on island contact. They can be reached at 1-808-661-8863.

Wonderful Family Vaca in Maui

We loved staying here. Perfect location and a great beach spot and so conveniently located next to all the restaurants and stores. We especially appreciated our specific unit; between the awesome lanai, great views, comfortable beds and fully stocked owners closet with Beach and snorkeling gear, we really couldn’t have asked for anything more.

This was our first trip to Maui and this place added to a wonderful experience. Upon checking in, I was not aware the reservation would be under the owners name so just a heads up. The room was very welcoming with soft ambient lights and Hawaiian music playing on the TV screen as we walked inside. The condo was fully stocked with bedding, functioning kitchen appliances, games for the kids, and as noted, an owners locker in the Lower Level. I’m assuming the previous renters did not rinse off the sand from the beach toys , goggles, boards , etc., so it was very sandy and messy. We did our part in rinsing the things we’ve used and placed in neatly back into the locker. The mattress in the bedroom and pullout couch were very comfortable. Even the rollaway bed had a very comfy mattress according to my teenage son. We did utilitize the knives for some light cooking and unfortunately, most of them have severe rust stains. I believe only 2 were okay to use. Otherwise, no other complaints. We absolutely loved the veranda and sat out there many times in the morning drinking coffee, or in the evenings eating dinner while whale watching. We had spectacular views of the ocean and got to witness a high whale activity going on the last couple days. We only used the pool once in the evening and surprisingly, it was heated. The hot tub, however, had a strong chlorine smell and was always full of people. It was a very pleasant stay and would consider staying here again in the future.

Thank you for leaving a review and making me aware of the rusty silverware issue. I will order new stuff immediately. The management company just updated their reservation software and I have brought to their attention that the owner name is on all reservations. I resent correct guests name, and the they have fixed the error. I hope to hear back for future rentals where you will receive a 15% return guest discount.

Beautiful property in an ideal location

My family and I had an amazing stay in this outstanding property! Everything was clean, modern, and well-appointed. The location couldn’t be better — right on the beach and within walking distance of shops and restaurants. There is a wonderful 5-mile beachwalk trail along the ocean that I ran every day. Our favorite part was the spacious lanai, where we enjoyed sunrises and sunsets. The owner’s closet was well stocked with boogie boards, snorkeling gear, beach chairs, etc. Highly recommend this jewel of a property!!

You have to book this condo

Seamless checking to cleanliness of the apartment. We have 3 kids ranging from 17 to 5 and we enjoyed the amenities as well as the convenience of the beach. We have severe allergies and we stayed at apartments where dust is a big concern. Not here. No allergies at all. Location of the apartment (5th floor) was great as well…I was able to walk up the stairs from the beach without having to catch my breath. I had open communication with the host the whole time. I would stay here again the next time we are in maui

Best Equipped Condo!

This is by far the nicest, most well equipped condo we have rented at The Whaler. Lots of storage access most owners don't allow access to... chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, floaties, tennis rackets + more! Plus the room is updated, appliances are new, and the bed is very comfy. Owner is easy to work with...We will definitely rent this unit again!

Best location in Kaanapali

This unit was terrific. Very clean and just as described, I wish I could live here. The condo is exceptionally well stocked with absolutely everything we needed. I don’t think I’ve ever stayed in a VRBO with a better stocked kitchen. The Whaler is in the best possible location, central to everything and literally steps from Whalers Village. The front desk staff and all employees at the Whaler were very friendly and helpful with anything we needed. We’ll definitely stay here again!

A perfect place to stay

The condo was spacious and very well appointed. It was beautifully decorated and fully equipped with everything we needed for a wonderful Maui vacation. We enjoyed the view of the ocean from the balcony, even spotting whales in the distance now and then. The condo is in a very good location. The beach is great for walks, either on the sand or on the paved walkway. Next door to the condo building is a shopping center with great shops and restaurants. Doug’s instructions were so helpful, not just for the condo information, but also for helping us plan our stay. Overall, it was the perfect place to stay.

Fun and relaxation

We really enjoyed our week at the Whalers. Loved the view. There was always lots of the comings and going’s with catamarans taking groups out for tours. There were parasailing boats as well. We found there was plenty of delicious restaurants within walking distance when we didn’t want to cook. We thought the kitchen in the condo had everything we needed and we appreciated the little personal touches of bathroom toiletries, tissues, laundry detergent & softener, plus dishwasher soap and Dawn. There were also plenty of hand soap dispensers. Having our own washer/dryer was a plus. We didn’t use the beach equipment but it was well stocked. We had a fun, relaxing week!!! Thank you!

Super Accommodations

We just recently returned from our Maui vacation and spent 9 days in this condo. This condo thoroughly exceeded our expectations. The description listed is accurate but oh so much more beautiful in person! The condo was our "home away from home." The property was clean and well maintained. The condo has been remodeled recently and was done so nicely! The condo was well stocked with all the kitchen amenities you could ask for and more! There was a closet (pantry) with many extras as well. My son loved playing with the sand buckets, the boogie board, and even the floatie provided by the owners. We enjoyed many activities during the day but when we came home in the evening we always enjoyed opening the lanai doors and listening to the music from the Hula Grill or listening to the ocean waves. We marveled at the views of Ka'anapali Beach from the lanai and even spotted dolphins, from the lanai, swimming at the bow of one of the boats! How amazing is that? We really enjoyed the shady side of this tower. It was a great floor to be on as well...not too high, not too low. You could see everything from the location of this condo. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to call this condo your "home away from home" during vacation. I cannot say enough great things about our experience working with the owners as well. They were so prompt to respond to any questions we had while booking this unit. They were also very prompt in asking about how our vacation stay was when we returned. We will definitely book this unit again when we return to Maui!

helpful host

The location is fantastic and easy to get to, and the condo provides a great array of beach gear that is very handy to have. We had everything we needed for the stay and enjoyed both the pool and the beach, as well as the ease of access to the next door shopping/eating center. The owner was extremely accommodating when we asked to set up a late checkout, going far out of his way to arrange something comfortable for an elderly parent. His help was very much appreciated.
