Excellent overall! Needs a few things to make it even better.
This was a great condo, excellent in many ways and it was as advertised! The kitchen is not well stocked (no cutting board, very few plates, silverware, glassware, coffee cups, skillet without a top) and no pot holders or hot pads. We used the kitchen towel for a hot pad and we bought our own cutting board that we took home with us. The WiFi was great, the view was awesome and overall we had a great time.
This is top floor. Not Penthouse quality. Lanai furniture is old and needs replaced Very uncomfortable. No clothes basket or plastic storage containers. Condo needs renovated. We have stayed in several units at The Whaler. Love it here. Have booked another unit for next year. VRBO is excellent to work with and the housekeeper was Excellent!!
Great place in the heart of Whaler’s Village. Perfect views with easy access to restaurants, shops and the excursions. I would definitely stay here again!
This was our first trip to Maui and we were thrilled when we walked into this unit. It was perfect for two people. We loved the view from the balcony and having our coffee outside each morning. The location in Whaler Village was perfect. Close to restaurants, shopping and the beach was wonderful. We especially liked that we could get umbrella and chair rentals each day. The grounds are very nice and the staff and concierge were very helpful. Would highly recommend.
We loved everything about our stay from the convenient location, amazing views, and coziness of the condo. we would absolutely stay here again! Can’t say enough great things!!!
8th visit to Maui, 7th time staying at the Whaler. Best view of the island and perfect location. Perfect space for two people, no issues. Would definitely recommend
Overall, very good but selling to new owner just happened
All good with minor issues, toilet broke, but otherwise quite happy. TV is in awkward place and balcony has sun most of day. Some may want that and some may want more shade on balcony. You can see sunset every night from balcony too!!
