Stayed recently on an anniversary/birthday vacation. Having lived in the area in the past we were very familiar with the area and knew the location was great. The condo matched the location and was very clean and comfortable - would definitely stay here again!

Where do I begin? Paradise. The first thing you notice when you walk in the condo is the view. The entire oceanfront and view of black rock is amazing. We spent more time on the lanai than any other place. Go around the corner and there are views of the mountains! The condo itself is so luxurious and well appointed. The beds comfortable, the sound of the surf makes one so relaxed...Getting to know how to turn on all the lights is a bit tricky, but if this is all I can say in a the remotely negative vein, shame on me! Every detail of this condo has been thought out and the decor is just beautiful. The location is within walking distance of Whaler's village and all the Resort hotels in the area. We stopped by Costco before we went to the condo, and to be honest, I never wanted to leave. Having the washer/dryer was so helpful. The bathrooms were so beautiful...I could go on and on. We will return and stay only here. Thank you JaNell and Simon!!

True to form many people do not do their research prior to leaving home. The whaler is a condo, each one is owned by a person or group that may or may it maintain the unit the same as the next.
The Whaler is a laid back lifestyle where you are not hit up at every trip to the beach to buy a timeshare. The Hotel/condo is dead center on the beach, perfect views of the islands next door. Nope there is no bar, bring your own in an insulated mug and enjoy without the cost or tip.
Renovation, yes it is still going on and the 8th floor tower 2 will be done on the 31st of January. Ya it would be nice to have it done but we knew this going in and the owner took care of us. Why are you oh going to Hawaii and sitting inside anyway?? If you want all sorts of nightlife walk down the beach and party down. If you want a perfect place that you can relax and bring the kids this is a great place.
The building looked tired 2 years ago, now it looks brand new. The Marriott south of here looks tired, great stay great beach

What a stunning property...everything you could want is here...the view from this suite is nothing short of amazing...we believe the best strip of beach on Maui with restaurants everywhere, a walking path right along the beach, surfing a few steps from our door, shopping next door, snorkeling at Black Rock a short 5 minute walk along the beach, umbrella and cabana rentals on-site as well as take-out food in the plaza next door so you can hang out all day on the beach.

The owners of this suite are very organized and welcoming...I did not have to chase them down for information or confirmations, they organized everything and our two-week rental went very smoothly. The kitchen has top of the line appliances and everything you could imagine to prepare meals...we cooked a full turkey dinner on Christmas...in a rental suite! This suite is better outfitted than our home in Toronto...anything I needed was there for our use...candles, towels, laundry soap, robes, condiments, beach chairs, a boogie board...everything! The bathrooms are gorgeous and so are the bedrooms...a great amount of thought and planning has gone Into this suite to make it a dream vacation destination. We will book again.
