About this property

Kaanapali Luxury at The Whaler–Ocean & Black Rock Views, Steps to Beach & Dining

  • Our oceanfront condo sits directly on Kaanapali Beach, ranked the #1 beach in the U.S. by TripAdvisor. Wake up to the sound of the waves, enjoy coffee on your private lanai with unobstructed ocean views, and watch Maui’s legendary sunsets from the comfort of home. Just steps from Whalers Village and from Black Rock snorkeling, this 1 BR/2BA condo is one of the most walkable and sought-after locations on Maui.

    Whaler Unit 312 is ideally situated on the quieter, more serene north side of Tower 1, offering direct views of Black Rock Beach, the island of Molokai, and picture-perfect Maui sunsets from your private lanai. This luxury oceanfront condo has been fully renovated with high-end finishes, including a beautifully designed kitchen equipped with everything you need, as well as a wine fridge and a built-in bar for effortless entertaining. Two spa-inspired bathrooms feature elegant marble tile, premium Grohe fixtures, and a spacious walk-in “shower chamber” with dual rainfall showerheads.

    Located in the designated hotel zone, The Whaler is fully compliant with Maui’s short-term rental regulations, so you can book with confidence and peace of mind.

    Unit 312 Features:

    - Private lanai with ocean and Black Rock views
    - Full gourmet kitchen
    - Two full bathrooms
    - Martin & MacArthur Hawaiian furnishings
    - Polynesian artifact collection
    - Quiet concrete construction + added soundproofing
    - In-unit washer/dryer
    - Central air conditioning
    - WiFi, cable, and smart TVs

    For a truly spectacular Hawaiian vacation, Whaler Unit 312 is ideal. This one-bedroom condo (with a queen sofa sleeper for additional guests) delivers both comfort and convenience …all within this 5-star resort condo. Steps from your door, enjoy direct beach access, the heated pool + hot tub, gym, tennis/pickleball courts, and more.

    The Whaler is the best location on the West Side, consistently ranked among the world’s best beaches. Just next door is Whalers Village, where you’ll find oceanfront restaurants, luxury shopping, and live music. Stroll along the beachwalk, snorkel around Black Rock, or tee off at the Kaanapali Golf Course — all without needing a car, as Kaanapali also has a complimentary shuttle throughout the resorts.

Wonderful stay in a beautiful unit. A real treat to be surrounded by beautiful woodwork and art. The kitchen was well equipped. Really appreciated having herbs and spices, oils, etc. cook with, as well as good quality equipment. Very comfortable stay from the comfortable bed to enjoying lounge chairs on the lanai. Appreciated chairs and cooler to take to the beach. Carol was gracious and expedient in her communications with me. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

My wife and I have been fortunate to visit Maui many times. This condo was by far my favorite accommodation we have ever had. Everything about it was perfect for us. The big lanai with great views of the beach and black rock was an amazing way to start our days. The condo itself is beautiful. It felt like being home from the perfect size kitchen to having two full baths and one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in! The complex grounds are beautiful and peaceful! Every interaction we had with the host was amazing. I have not one bad word to say! I am hoping we get the chance to stay here again!
Beautiful sunsets! From the balcony near the elevators

Nice place. Loved the full condo AC. Great views from the balcony. Actually saw some whales. Great location right on the beach. Parking could be a pain but we always found a spot (last one). Nice to have the Whaler Village close by. We thought the couch was not very comfortable but we were never there very long. Would highly recommend.

Loved having front loading washer and dryer in unit, as I was traveling with my son. Owner was wonderful to work with, and very accommodating. Looking forward to renting same property in the future.
