This rental unit could quite easily get 5 Stars but, loses out because a few short falls. It is clean,has an excellent view/location. The kitchen is very dated and, the utinsels looked like they where bought on the last day of a garage sale. The frying pans have very little Teflon left. (I can show pictures) The stove is about...

When we went there were renovations going on. There were no problems. Construction was going on during the day, but we were hardly there & it wasn't so bad we couldn't enjoy the room. Whaler Village, next door, was great. The little convenience shop there was great for picking up anything from souvenirs to a bag of chips & a... More

Third time to Hawaii, second time to The Whaler, while ther is major construction on tower 2, we were given a condo in tower 1 on the top floor. Had a couple little problems, safe didn't work, tub was very slippery and needed a bath mat. All problems were taken care of right away. Will definately stay here again More

The Whaler was just what I wanted, although I did not know it. It is great as much for what it isn't, as much as what it is. I rented a studio condo unit from the owner for the second week of December, just before high season. Real value. It was spotless, with a great balcony view. The first night... More

I allways enjoy my visit to the Whaler as a multiple repeat guest. The staff is excellent many have been there ten years or longer. This last trip the property was under construction but dont let that bother you. When your in the room you dont here any of the construction noise its very minor construction and not a major... More

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! More

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.... More

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... More

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...

We are staying in a very nice 1 BR, 2 Bath unit on 11 floor, tower 2. Good kitchen, large sq. footage, comfy bed. Close to Black rock snorkeling and has great beach in front. Boring central grounds area and boring square pool. Lanais from 11 down under construction and coming into use from the top on a weekly basis.... More
