Amazing oceanfront, ground level condo. Spacious, clean and full of many conveniences. We were very comfortable here. We will book this property again. The only negative was the big sofa in the living room is tired and smelly. We stayed here 7 years ago when the couch was newer. It has gotten a lot of use since then and such a wonderful unit needs a clean couch.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location of this unit is ideal for enjoying the beautiful Kaanapali Beach. Being on ground level with access to beach front and pool was very convenient the family was able to spend so much more time enjoying the beach with out having to make numerous trips lugging stuff around. The best surprise was having the folding beach chairs, umbrella and beach towels provided was a big plus. We would usually rent these items form the Snorkel Store for the week. the best thing we enjoyed was being able to sit on the patio looking right out at the ocean. The inside of the unit was great as it was clean and very accommodating for a family of 4. Had no issues with anything during our stay and the rental team did a great job of staying in contact about necessary information and checking to see if everything was good.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I can't imagine a better suited unit for the best experience in West Maui than Whaler 102. Ground floor, west end of Tower 1, we saw whales everyday from our lanai. Walking distance to world class restaurants, snorkel trip pick up at the beach in front of the Whaler. Golf 4 minutes away. Love to come back and stay in 102!
