better than advertised
This property was so much better than advertised. It is very large for a studio and so well stocked with kitchen supplies, beach supplies and area information. The property is in the best location on a gorgeous beach. Whalers is the best. We feel so blessed to have rented this space for our time in Maui. Great location and spectacular condo!

Fun in the Sun
The condo worked well for our needs. The only down side is that restaurant beside the condo starts getting deliveries very early in the morning, so it is a little bit noisy.

We love the Whaler and Kaanapali beach which is only a few feet away. This studio is perfect for two people. It is nicely furnished and has everything you need for a great vacation. We have stayed in this unit twice and will do so again. Hal and Colleen

Location is conveniently located close to restaurants, etc. Nice that they provided chairs and umbrellas for the beach. Refrigerator, stove, dishes, and utensils was also available. Rate does not include resort fee ($25 plus taxes). Nice TV with Netflix, but other furniture was very old. Shower curtain liner should have been replaced.

Really enjoyed our stay. I loved the view and being able to hear the ocean from the patio. It was a great location next to Whalers Village and quick bus ride to Lahaina . The condo was well stocked with dishes and all kinds of cookware . Condo was very clean.Washer and drier just outside in the hall . Our flight didn’t leave until late in the evening and they let us store our luggage and were able to use the pool and an available shower if we needed the whole day even after checking out . There was free coffee in the morning and iced tea and water available in the lobby and at the pool all day . It was a wonderful location so close to the beach . I would definitely recommend and would definitely stay there again.

Wonderful condo
This was our first time to Maui and we felt so fortunate to find this condo. It was perfect for my husband and I. Check in was easy and efficient. We never cooked in the kitchen, but it was nice to have the fridge available for your drinks and snacks. The bathroom was clean and updated. The hot water took forever to reach the faucet. We soon learned that we just had to turn it on and give it time, and then it was fine. Plenty of HOT water. The bed was very comfortable. There were options for pillows. Different firmness and feel. The TV and WiFi were easy to figure out and worked great. The owner left great instructions printed in the unit. The patio and view was nice. We could peak around the corner to see the ocean. We made use of the beach chairs, umbrella and cooler that were in the condo. We would definitely stay here again. The owner was responsive to all of our requests and questions. Thanks for sharing your condo with us.

UNIT HADN'T BEEN CLEANED UPON ARRIVAL!!!!
We arrived for a 6 night stay at this studio unit at 5:00 on a Saturday after a long day of travel only to find that the unit HAD NOT BEEN CLEANED from the previous renters. Upon arrival, I called the owner to let him know that the unit hadn't been cleaned. Apparently, he'd accidentally canceled the cleaning. He was very apologetic and offered us a 25% rebate for the inconvenience. At the time, I thought that was ok. Then I started cleaning. After 4 loads of laundry (bedsheets, towels etc), cleaning the toilet, bathroom and dishes, vacuuming, mopping and throwing out the peoples old food, I was disgusted!!!! The experience ruined two days of our trip and my skin crawled every time I entered the unit. We had no idea who stayed here before us. We were cleaning a strangers bedsheets and toilet etc. I was mortified! I consider VRBO studio rentals at the Marriott or the Westin to be 5 star rentals. The Whaler is a 4 star property with a fantastic location and a nice but small pool. But for the granite countertops, this unit is dated and should be rated 3 1/2 stars. Small kitchen is well stocked. Furniture is nice except the pull out couch is hopeless and there are no bedsheets for it. The beach umbrella is broken but two chairs are provided along with other fun beach stuff. I gave this property a low rating because our experience really took away from our enjoyment of the week. Had the place been professionally cleaned, I'd rate it between 3.5 and 4 stars.

Fantastic
We were very happy with our stay and our accommodations, it was great for the two of us. We had dinner a few nights down at the BBQ’s for a some home cooked meals. It is wonderful to have coffee on the lanai before heading down to the beach. It was great having snorkel gear available as well as chairs and umbrellas. So thoughtful. Thank you for wonderful memories!

Best location by the beach
You cannot beat the Whaler's location on Kaanapali Beach because it is am easy walk to everything (many boat tours board on the beach just steps away.) The condo was clean and stocked with everything you could possibly want/need for cookin to save you some $. Having the use of a free washer/dryer which was just steps away was great so the next time we will bring less clothing. They do have snorkeling gear but no way to tell if the snorkels have been cleaned/sanitized (there was sand on and in the masks/snorkels so I assumed not) so best to at least do a hot water & dish soap dunk and rinse before use or bring your own snorkel/mask and use their fins to save space in your luggage. There is a peak view of the ocean from the lanai to enjoy coffee and breakfast from. We also did some cooking on the BBQs available at the resort. As others have said, there is noise on the lanai from the retaurant next door, mainly delivery truck back-up beepers to the loading zone and restaurant workers cleaning/talking in the morning. The AC unit noise is there but it was actually more like a nice white noise to me. We were up early everyday so noise didn't bother us, if it is an issue for you keep that in mind. We would re-book again as this unit has it all to make for a relaxing vacation. 10 out of 10.
