Beautiful, clean and amazing location. Communication was easy and very precise and thorough. They also provided a lot great information about the area. We had a blast.

This condo was absolutely perfect! We loved coming up for the day and being able to sit on the wrap around porch/deck and watch the sun go down. I don’t think there is a better location in Kaanapali!! It is wonderful to be on the top floor with unobstructed views from every room! Each day, we would head to the beach. All of the amenities were there at the beach … umbrellas and chairs. One day, we rented snorkel gear and headed down to black rock. In addition, being close to Whaler’s Village is great - especially with the young adults! They could go shop, grab a coffee or an açaí bowl when they wanted and the restaurants are excellent! Go to the Monkey Pod and order any drink with the lilikoi foam on top!! You won’t be sorry! The condo and the location are perfect. Thank you.

This is the best view on Kaanapali beach! It’s so iconic, there is even a fine art painting of the view in a gallery in Lahaina! Such a relaxing and lovely place for a stay on the beach, with beauty day and night; sunset, stars and moon over the water.

My husband and I were looking for an accessible home to take our 88 year old mother on a vacation. Gordon was amazing helping us think through whether his condo at the Whaler would work and even provided an adjustable shower stool for our mum to use. When we arrived, we found it was a PERFECT spot and she was immediately put at ease and was able to navigate the apartment easily. That made the whole vacation work. Beyond that, the incredible balcony, with its arresting views of the ocean and Kaanapali beach, the beautiful gardens and coy pond at the Whaler, and the incredibly kind and knowledgeable concierge on property offered such amazing support! Mum had coffee every morning on the balcony and was fascinated by the people watching and the catamarans running from the beachside. I cannot describe enough how perfect the location was for all we wanted to do on Maui and how lovely Gordon was communicating with us to make sure our mum was safe and well supported! Some previous reviews called out the "dated" furnishings but we found them delightful and they captured a feeling of Hawaii and a sense of our hosts that we appreciated! For future guests, the Whaler charges a $25 nightly "association amenities fee" charged on check out in addition to your VRBO rental fee. Gordon notes in contract- but be ready for that charge upon check out. Well worth it. Great value. Stunning location! Kind and caring host!

What a lovely place to stay! Gorgeous, beautiful beach, great snorkeling, shopping and dining all.within walki g distance.

This location is perfect! Absolutely stunning views and easy access to places around the island. Everyone was helpful and responded promptly to questions. Would stay here again!

We have been planning to stay at this condo since 2020. It did not disappoint. The views from this Condo and it’s location to whalers village and the beach make it the perfect location. You’ll find plenty to see and do without a car. Did I mention the views? We were able to see dolphins and whale spouts from the balcony. From this condo you can see all of Kaanapali beach north of the Sheraton. If you love a room with a view like we do this is the place.

Gordon was nothing less than a pleasure to work with and extremely flexible. The accommodations are spectacular with a wonderful family feel and home like environment. The views are absolutely amazing.

Great communication with the property manager from booking and throughout the stay. We were in Maui during a big storm and Dr. Fall checked in on us to make sure we were ok. The Whaler is convenient to great shopping, eating and beach. A wonderful location and comfortable stay. Would definitely reserve it again!

The unit is spectacular, easily accessible and the beach is amazing. beach could not be better. Wonderful for long walks and quite a few restaurants of good quality close by.

Had a wonderful time, perfect relaxation spot Alex T

The unit was very spacious and the views from the wrap-around lanai cannot be matched anywhere else on Maui. The owner checked in with us a couple of times to make sure everything was OK.

Great condo. The view is stunning.

My son put it best! Million Dollar View! You didn't have to leave the couch or your bed for an amazing view. Family friendly from the front desk to the guests them selves. Can't wait to do it again.

Absolutely stunning penthouse property in the middle of one of the world’s premier beaches. Property was well appointed with all necessary and needed elements to feel right at home. The 180 degree views of the ocean and the mountains from the wrap-around 12th floor balcony is unparalleled. Great owner involvement and contact. If you’re looking for a place to enjoy the best that Maui has to offer, you will miss out if you don’t book this property. We did, we had a fantastic time, and we plan to go back!

One of only two 2-BR top floor ocean front units. The best. Great hosts

Beautiful with best views you can ask for!

We where a group of 3 couples. Had an awesome time and you can’t beat the view! Spent as much time on the lanai as we could! Nice condo!

We really loved this unit. When we arrived it was very clean and homey feeling. There were books and movies and some beach toys for us to use. Plenty of plates and cookware. Even some spices and condiments in the kitchen. It felt very welcoming. Plenty of towels and blankets. The view and location is absolutely perfect! The owner called us on the first night to see how we were which was a nice touch. The check in and parking was easy, hotel staff very friendly. The bed was comfortable and then place had plenty of drawers, hangers and areas for our things. Highly recommend!

Beautiful view, decor, and of course location.

We had an amazing time. The Falls are such great hosts. Did not want for anything.

What a location! Excellent views. Very nice!

We’ve stayed at the Whaler many times and have never been so disappointed. The view is the very best - no doubt! However, the appliances were very old. The washing machine was carroded and had been painted over which really made it worse. The garbage disposal leaked and had to be replaced on our 2nd day. We killed a cockroach in the kitchen drawer on 2nd morning and when we called the owner he said “cockroaches are to be expected in the tropics” and said pest control does great regularly. We’ve never ever had a cockroach in any of the units in precious stays! If the kitchen was cleaner, I suspect this wouldn’t happen - we spent an hour cleaning drawers after that. The window blind facing West was inoperable in dining area. The owner did call us to inform us and just said to leave it open! The window faced the sun in afternoon and left the unit extremely hot until sundown. A repairman showed up 2-3 days before we left (we stayed for three weeks). The outlets on walls throughout the unit need to be replaced as they do not GRIP prongs from a plug! There were several we tried that were like that. We also called Mainenance for the A/C as it would randomly shut off and we would have to jiggle the sensor on the sliding door every 10 minutes. Also, the flush handle on the toilet in the master was very difficult to operate. We gimped by during our stay since we had already called maintenance three times for other issues. The unit is very “tired” with 1970’s wallpaper and mirrored walls and furniture with no support at all. Honestly for what this unit rents for, it should be MUCH nicer.

Our stay at the Whaler was wonderful. The view from our room was spectacular. The grounds are immaculate and the staff is friendly and helpful. The location is perfect for walking to the Whaler Village.

As a family of 5 it's difficult to find a great place at a great location to fit us all. This condo was absolutely fantastic! The staff refers to it as the "Top of the World" and the views certainly backed that statement up. The condo was very clean when we arrived. We also appreciated the fact that the unit has a washer/dryer.

Gordon's unit is a top floor unit beachfront unit with the most amazing views. The unit was very comfortable, thoug a little dated. We enjoyed our stay and you can't beat the location.

We had a fantastic time here. The whaler is a great place, with really nice pool and hot tub, and easy access to the beach. This particular unit probably has the nicest view and largest balcony in the whole complex. We were able to look out an easily spot Whales from the balcony. The bedrooms and living rooms are spacious. The kitchen is well supplied. We wish we could have stayed longer!

Amazing location and view. Truly one of the best locations we have ever stayed at. You have a view of the black rock cliffs as well as the ocean front and the green hills behind. Saw many rainbows from our balcony. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were spacious. The host was informative and communicative, offering many recommendations for places to eat. There is a concierge in the lobby that can help with reserving activities. The building is in the middle of the resort strip so you can walk to the nearby outdoor mall and well-known restaurants. Garage parking can be difficult to find especially later at night. Would highly recommend this place to others.

While this location is unbeatable, the lack of care and attention paid to the condo unit was immediately apparent when we arrived for our vacation. We have never stayed at a VRBO that was this unclean. The kitchen, in particular, was horribly dirty (grime on all surfaces, food spatters on walls and ceilings, old food and crumbs in the cupboards and drawers, dirty switches, etc), and not well equipped if you wish to cook. There was also old garbage left under the kitchen skin. There was thick dust on bookshelves, black mould in the master shower, fingerprints and spatter on mirrors in the bathrooms and living room. There we also next to no toiletries for use. When we communicated our concerns to the owner, which was difficult considering we were given incorrect contact information, he authorized someone to enter the unit, without our consent or knowledge. We were then told that this person found nothing wrong with the unit upon inspection, and thus our concerns weren’t really addressed at all. Spend your money elsewhere.

We walked into this rental and loved it so much we booked an extra night! Super spacious, kitchen is stocked with essentials, had great beach toys/chairs, and was super clean. Hoping to come back in the future

beautiful place, and view, could use some up grading for a penthouse, furniture not that comfortable, for me a penthouse should be 5 star!
