Maui Resort Rentals: The Whaler 1061 - Upgraded 10th Floor Studio w/ Stunning Pacific Ocean and Mountain Views!
Perched high above the palm fronds, guests are treated to unobstructed views of the tranquil blue Pacific and the soft sands of world-renowned Kaanapali Beach from this luxurious 10th-floor studio suite. Fold away the floor-to-ceiling glass doors and step out onto your large private lanai, where you will also enjoy lush vistas of the majestic West Maui Mountains.
The beautifully upgraded kitchen, equipped with sleek granite countertops, custom wood cabinetry, and premium stainless steel appliances, invites you to prepare delicious meals or a refreshing drink. Dine in the cool comfort of the air-conditioned dining area or out on the spacious lanai overlooking the turquoise-hued ocean.
Suite 1061 can comfortably accommodate up to four guests, with a plush king-size bed and a cozy queen-size sleeper sofa. The lavish bathroom offers a large granite vanity and a sleek, tiled walk-in shower—the perfect place to prepare for another day at the beach.
Relax in the evening with your favorite show on the flat-panel TV, or stay connected with free high-speed Wi-Fi, included in your stay.

This is the perfect size unit for my husband and myself. Loved the full kitchen, dinning room table, couch and large balcony. I enjoyed the south facing balcony as it is sunnier than the north side. Plus the 10th floor you can really see the whales!!
Great time…great location, view, bed, shower, ac….clean.
Love the Beach concierge service…very helpful and friendly…good people.
Would book this location again…priced right.
Was able to see whales outside sitting on the patio
Great studio at the Whaler. Super nice staff great accommodations and what a view! Saw whales from the lanai everyday for 10 straight days! The xtra perk of the colorize discounts was a bonus! We used it twice while here. We will book this condo again next time back! Mahalo!
Location, location! Step outside the door and snorkel, shop, or dine at restaurants. The whole experience was great. We are going back next year with the whole family in a larger condo at the Whaler. Only complaint is that there was construction next door, above and below us so it was noisy from around 8am to lte afternoon.
We always stay at the Whaler property when visiting Kaanapali. The studio units are a perfect size. The property itself is centrally located along the beach and resort walk so you are as close to anything you would need. All great restaurants within one mile of walking. The beaches are all great right off the property. Our unit was clean with an updated kitchen and bath. Comfortable king bed. Great south facing views. You can’t go wrong.
We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful condo. It has a gorgeous ocean view. The condo was clean and nicely decorated. It was centrally located and there were many great restaurants close by. The bed was very comfortable. The fan and AC kept the condo nice and cool.
One suggestion: there was only one hand towel rack and one bath towel rack in the bathroom, enough for just one of us. I ended up having to hang my towels on hangers in the closet. Would be great if there were additional ones.
All in all, it was a great condo and we enjoyed our stay. I would recommend it to anyone.
Thank you!
