Lovely Family Vacation
Reviewed on 2024-07-14 by Kathleen D. , Irvine, CA United StatesWe stayed here 7 years ago and we were anxious to return. The only negative for us was the condition of the big sofa in the living room. It has become very dirty and has an old "sofa on the ocean" smell. We covered it with clean beach towels to mask the smell. I own rental property myself and I am sure the owners would appreciate this comment.

Whaler 102 on Kaanapali
Reviewed on 2024-04-27 by , Castle Rock, CO USThe 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.

Great trip to Maui
Reviewed on 2024-01-30 by Dave S. , Eagle, ID USI 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!
Thanksgiving Vacation
Reviewed on 2024-01-25 by Susie H. , Kirkland, WA United StatesWe will hopefully get the opportunity to rent this unit again.
Our family have been vacationing at the Whaler the last 5 years and we have stayed in different units every time and this unit is by far the nicest, most well equipped and being on the ground floor was an absolute treat. The ease of using the barbecues for lunch and dinners, accessing the beach with gear and not having to use the elevators is a luxury in itself. I would recommend this unit to anyone that needs to sleep 6 very comfortably and easily 8 with the pull out queen couch. Views from this unit are amazing even with it being in the ground floor. <br/>We will hopefully get the opportunity to rent this unit again.

Amazing Condo
Reviewed on 2023-01-24 by , Bishop, CA United StatesThis is our third stay in this condo and we absolutely love it. The location could not be more perfect and the condo staff are all super kind and friendly. Being on the ground floor makes it very easy to go in and out with little kids.
Whaler 102
Reviewed on 2022-11-16 by Ashley W. , Mill Valley, CA United StatesThis was our third time staying in the Whaler 102. The location is fantastic but unfortunately the unit itself didn't meet our expectations. Previously this unit has been well-stocked and in perfect condition. This time, the kitchen was lacking- 4 cracked cereal bowls for a unit this size was disappointing. We enjoyed our stay but for this price, expected a bit more upkeep of the unit.

Step it up
Reviewed on 2022-03-22 by Heidi D. , Cedar Rapids, IA USI would never stay at this condo again. It’s old and aged. There’s no ceiling fans which makes it moist and humid. The furniture is falling apart. There’s rust in the bathrooms. There’s no plastic cups for outside. We love Whalers but this condo is not up to par.
Wonderful location with amazing views
Reviewed on 2022-03-07 by , Brighton, CO USWe loved staying in this condo because of the great location. Very short walk to Whalers Village shopping and restaurants and the views cannot be beat. The beach chairs, towels and umbrellas in the unit were great to have and the beach was just steps from our patio door. I would stay there again in a heartbeat. The condo could use a little updating as it felt dated to me, but the views and location more than made up for it. I texted the property manager when we arrived and when we left, but I never heard from them while I was there. The check in process was very easy at the Whaler front desk.
Great spot at a mediocre condo
Reviewed on 2022-02-02 by Tyler H. , Portland, OR USCondo had lots of space but was dated and lacked attention to detail--primary shower was clogged, floors were dirty (especially in the corners), TP holder was crooked and falling off the cabinet, the refrigerator struggled at keeping our food cold, crooked pictures, crooked outlet installs, etc. All small stuff that we honestly didn't care much about but worth mentioning at this price point. Overall the condo felt more like a $300 a night condo with lots of space.
The Whaler property itself is nice and seems well maintained. Lots of great staff as well. Pool area isn't great but works for sun bathing and cooling off. Parking situation is decent, usually couldn't find a spot in the garage and had to park in the furthest lot.
Overall we enjoyed our stay and the location but would probably look elsewhere for our next visit.

Nice place but poor customer service
Reviewed on 2022-01-16 by , Phoenix, AZ USThe unit is beautiful but I spent more on this weekly rental than any other vacation I have taken. When I notified the management team on multiple occasions that I left something of value that I needed help retrieving, (I offered to pay for shipping and something extra for their time) I didn't hear back. Very frustrating considering how much money I spent. Will be sure to never rent this unit or use this management team.

We were able to sit on our patio and take in all of the sights. located, overlooking the outdoor grilling and dining area, was perfect. Easy access for our use, and able to have our own space, as we watching others enjoying the accommodations. The most convenient access to the beach, through any of our 4 glass sliding doors. Everything was perfect! We had a couple very small issues, initially. The coffee pot was not matched with the coffee Carafe, so unable to use it. Unable to get the water from the refrigerator door to work. Reached out to management, and within hours they provided a brand new coffee pot, and a Britta pitcher for filtering out water. These were perfect and easy solutions, and we appreciated the quick attention. We all, six of us in total, had a amazing time and made the most of our stay.

Unit #102 Review
Reviewed on 2021-04-13 by Richard D. , Walnut Creek, CA USExcellent unit if you have small kids. We had our 5 year old and 3 year old grandchildren with us and this location was perfect. You can open the sliding doors out to the lawn area and the kids can play outside and still be in your view. The unit itself needs some simple “handyman fixes”.. While we were there we had to have the maintenance crew come in and remove large globs of hair from the bathtub drain and hallway sink drain. I alerted the property managers and these two problems were addressed immediately. The unit just needs to have a handyman go through checking for small things such as drains draining properly, all lightbulbs working, towel racks secured properly, TP holders secured properly, dryer lint screens cleaned properly, etc. We did find an I-Pad there that was not ours. I notified the property manager twice but she never responded to my texts. I finally dropped it of at the front lobby counter (I’m assuming that owner would like to have their I-Pad returned). Midway through our two week stay we paid $200 to have a cleaning crew come in for a housecleaning only to discover that they didn’t bother to move couches or chairs to sweep up sand that inevitably accumulates under such places. �� The unit just needs a little “attention to detail” applied to it. Overall, it’s a beautiful unit and we will definitely stay there again. The owners did provide amenities such as beach chairs, beach umbrellas, beach towels, and lots of kids beach toys.
Fabulous beach access!
Reviewed on 2021-03-22 by Barry B. , Parker, CO USThis unit is literally steps from the beach! We have stayed at The Whaler several times, this is the most well-equipped unit we have stayed in, everything you need for cooking, grilling, and hanging out on the beach is provided. Lots of storage, great floor plan for a family or group. Cons - bathrooms are clean and functional but not as updated as some of the nicer units, and since you are on the ground floor we felt the need to close up some of the drapes in the evenings for privacy. Overall great unit and great stay, we would definitely come back to this one!
Perfection
Reviewed on 2021-03-16 by Roberto & Courtney M. , Biggs, CA United StatesWe have stayed at many units at The Whaler (it’s our favorite) but this one is, by far, the nicest one yet. The location of this unit is absolute perfection. Between the expansive ocean views, the ground floor location for the kids run around outside, and the spacious and nicely appointed condo, we could not have dreamed of a better vacation. We cannot wait to go back!

Whaler 102
Reviewed on 2020-01-08 by , Seattle, WA United StatesThere was a strong mildew odor, especially in the master bedroom.
There was a hole in other bedroom door,the master bath needed improvements and carpet throughout house should be replaced. Both toilets run and dishwasher didn’t stop on its own a few times. Fridge had a strange freezer set up and no ice maker.
The positives were the nice size of the living room area and the master bedroom. Also the convenience of being ground level and having a grass area outside good. The wind can whip through the side we were on however and make being outside challenging. Barbecue area is right below and walking path is close, so if you’re looking for quiet and privacy, probably not a good choice.

Reviewed on 2019-04-08 by , Coronado, CA United StatesLocation is fantastic! Unit is in need of updates but it is functional. Unit is for sale. We were inconvenienced during our stay for a showing. We nicknamed the hall bath “the escape room” as the door latch would stick locking in the occupant and requiring the door to be opened by someone from outside. The management company was extremely rude and unprofessional. They leaned on us to allow the unit to be shown and then they disturbed our belonging without our consent while prepping the unit for the showing. Despite our accommodating their showing, the management company was extremely rude when I inquired by text as to the status of our deposit refund after nearly 2 weeks. I was chastised for sending a text at an early hour. I am in a different time zone and opted to text instead of calling at such an early hour. They refused to answer my question because they were so put out by my text. Unbelievable! We have stayed at the Whaler at least a dozen times. This is the first time we have encountered thus tote of issue. Despite the fabulous location at this property, I would not recommend this unit. The the amount of money we paid we deserved to be treated with respect.

It was peaceful and intimate. The unit was very well provisioned, (kitchen items, beach items, etc), and the laundry in-unit was very helpful. Comfortable mattresses and decor made it a great rental.

Perfect place to stay for a large family!
Reviewed on 2018-11-17 by Stephanie C. , Bellingham, WA United StatesWe just got home from our wonderful vacation in Maui, and I simply can't say enough about how perfect our condo at The Whaler was for our family of 6. It was spacious, clean, and well stocked with everything we needed for a perfect vacation. With 4 kids, it's hard to find a place to stay that doesn't feel crowded. The bedrooms were large and having 2 bathrooms was wonderful. The unit had lovely beach towels included, but after using them once and washing them, we opted for the Whaler towels. You don't have to wash them! Just turn them back in for clean ones! Our condo had a huge lanai that led to the beautiful grounds of the complex, and just steps to the beautiful beach. Perfect for running back to the condo if you need something. Our kids didn't want to leave the beach in front of our condo. They spent most of the days riding the waves on boogie boards and snorkeling at Black Rock. Our unit also had 4 awesome beach chairs that we thoroughly enjoyed! The Whaler is well maintained and very clean. The staff are super friendly and always making sure your needs are met. We drove around and walked through other resorts and wouldn't choose to stay anywhere else. The Whaler is just steps to the many wonderful restaurants & shopping at Whalers Village.

The property management company is very professional. I had to contact them while I was there because I found a damaged closet door in the guest room. They were pleasant to deal with and instructed me how to report my finding. We also enjoyed how they really have there stuff together. When you rent their condo, they give you a link that has tons of information about the check in/out process, wifi, etc. For them to provide us with all this information just made everything easy. We loved the closet that offered beach necessities like beach chairs, sand toys, and beach cooler bag. The location of the property was awesome! We loved our oceanfront view! Having coffee out on the lanai was the best!! We could head out to the beautiful beach as it was probably about 80-90 feet from the condo, which made it easy when we needed to take a break from the sun and get lunch. This condo is also just steps away from the BBQ area if you feel like grilling up your own dinner and about a 5 minute walk to restaurants at the Whaler's Village. The pool area is about a 30 second walk. The grass area off the side of the condo was a bonus for the kids as they could have somewhere to play. We were very impressed with the upkeep at The Whaler. Every single day that we were there we could see staff on top of just keeping up the premises. They were all very nice and helpful. We really had a fabulous time and can't wait to visit again!! We love this condo!!! Thank you Hawaii Life for offering such a wonderful place, we will be back!!

A Family Favorite
Reviewed on 2018-04-05 by Tina W. , Waterloo, WI United StatesOur Family vacation was a huge success and the Condo was exactly what we were looking for. This two bedroom condo was well appointed and had everything you'd need for your vacation stay. It was really like home away from home. The views were AMAZING. Black Rock and the beautiful beach of Kaanapali. Being on the first floor we could walk right out to the beach, pool or grilling area. There are restaurants and shopping within walking distance and the grounds were immaculate. Check in was easy and the staff are outstanding. This condo will not disappoint.

Oceanfront and being on the 1st floor with easy access to beach, pool, walkway and shopping was very convenient!

Loved that this is a 1st floor sits high enough for great ocean and sunset views and able your able to walk out of the patio and down to the Pool, BBQ or beach. We cooked several meals there and it was a pleasure to find good quality cooking equipment, all kind of spices and just about every utensil I would find in my own kitchen. Also supplied us with Beach towels, chairs, beach cooler bag and so many things that usually I end up buying my past trips to Maui. Absolutely loved this place and hope to stay there again.<br/><br/>Mahalo<br/>

Kaanapali Whaler 102- Wonderful Stay!
Reviewed on 2017-05-25 by Ashley W. , Mill Valley, CA United StatesOur 10 month old son was with us and this unit is fully equipped for children- the pack-n-play was set up upon our arrival and the high chair was also set out at the dining room table. Everything is in perfect condition! There are also sand toys, beach towels, beach chairs, umbrellas and boogie boards to use so you won't need to rent anything to enjoy the beach!
The unit is so nice we actually spent a lot of time sitting on the patio (which overlooks the ocean) to escape the sun and just enjoy the beautiful views! Even though it is on the ground floor, we never heard any noise from neighboring units. The kitchen is fully equipped- even has plates/bowls for kids. The beds are wonderful. I really can't say enough positive things about this unit. You definitely won't be disappointed if you stay at the Whaler 102!

Great views, 30 steps from the beach/pool and a stones throw from great restaurants and entertainment. The condo was clean and well stocked with beach toys and chairs/towels etc. We had small kids and it was a perfect unit for them.
