Perfect location. Well stocked kitchen and beach supplies were great. Owner was very responsive to questions I had before check in. Can't beat the location for convenience to shops and restaurants and a gorgeous beach. Kids loved snorkeling and parasailing out front and walking to Black Rock for cliff jumping. Would highly recommend! Also, so convenient having a washer/dryer in the unit.

Jim’s place has it all

This is a really nice unit at the Whaler. 2 off oceanfront with spectacular views. We watched whales from the lanai! Really enjoyed the comfortable bed and an amazing shower. Our teens enjoyed the Murphy bed and the L couch for sleeping—no shared bed situation. There are also 2 pull out sofa beds so lots of options. The bathroom layout is also nice, shower is separate from sink/mirror areas so you can get ready while somebody is in the shower. Jim was a great host! We come to the Whaler often (it’s a great place to stay) and will definitely book this unit again.

Lots of shopping and great restaurants nearby and a fabulous place to snorkel at Black rock!! The view of the beach and ocean was wonderful and we were so happy with our stay.

My family and I stayed at Jim’s unit at the Whalers. Such a beautiful place. Despite it being a difficult stay as we were there during the Lahaina wildfires tragedy, we appreciated how the resort managed the situation. Jim was helpful and always responsive.

Great location

Steps from Whaler’s Village for restaurants and shopping, easy walk to Black Rock for cliff jumping for our teen boys and steps to early morning Catamaran snorkel trip from beach. The remodeled home had more than enough room for our family of 5 and was well stocked w everything we needed. We didn’t use the pool since we prefer the ocean but the tennis and pickle ball courts were great and the grounds w koi pond and waterfalls were beautiful. Highly recommend!

Great location, nice amenities, would recommend.

Overall a great stay. Great location and nice staff. Room was nice and well stocked. Half bath isn’t really a half bath, it’s just a sink in the laundry room. There’s a fair amount of noise from the restaurants and beach until about 9pm. Also there’s construction noise from Leilani’s. Overall we had a pleasant stay. Would recommend.

Perfect spot on Kaanapali

Our family has returned for our 18th year to Maui and we can’t get enough of this magical place. The Whaler was perfect for our family of four with college kiddos that did not have to share a bed. Lots of moving room in the unit, a full kitchen for eating in and an amazing balcony where we enjoyed breakfast and sunsets. I would recommend Jim Doan and his property for your stay - a very organized process, straight forward and no surprises. We will be back. Mahalo!

Fabulous Condo!

This unit is immaculate and beautifully decorated with lots of high-end extras. Location is perfect, and we especially enjoyed the ocean view on the balcony. We were pleasantly surprised to find it so well stocked ( even condiments, spices, laundry detergent, light hardware, etc, they thought of everything! We've rented other condos before without as much as a grain of salt). The owner was very pleasant and easy to deal with. We'll be going back next year for sure!

The good and the bad

We have stayed at Whaler property many times. The upgrades in this home are visible. This property was very clean. Unfortunately the bedroom TV kept randomly losing connection and requires reset. We spoke to the owner many times about the issue and he did attempt to troubleshoot but was unable to resolve the issue while we were there as we did not want people in and out of the condo numerous times while we were gone. We also noticed that the tub depth is very deep, which for shorter people may be difficult to step into the shower. There are many swim toys and chairs which was very nice. The tall table and chairs on the patio were light, which slide very easily. We are not short but they almost slide away from you when attempting to sit down. The location is wonderful as many activities, shopping and restaurants are within walking distance. Overall we enjoyed our time in Hawaii and the condo with some minor challenges.
