Perfect ocean view Kaanapali Beach location next door to Whalers Village shops and restaurants. The Whaler is situated on the renowned sandy shoreline of Kaanapali Beach! This 5th floor studio unit is located in the Whaler Tower I. This north facing Tower receives a good amount of shade and is surrounded by lush trees and tropical landscaping. From the private lanai, you can soak up the gorgeous views of the Pacific Ocean and the beautiful resort grounds. It is the perfect place to relax and unwind. The studio has been remodeled with upgrades including new cabinets, counter tops, and sliding glass doors. The kitchen is fully equipped with cookware, pots and pans, utensils, a coffee maker and more to make a gourmet meal or whip up your favorite cocktail. Or, if you prefer cooking outdoors, the resort offers two BBQ areas for you to use. The Whaler resort recently completed a 36 million dollar renovation. It is definitely the place to be!

**Please be aware, there is spalling work, and outside renovations being done around the property. There will be loud construction noise at times, and obstruction to the lanai may happen. Work will be M-F 8:30-5:00pm

NO SMOKING IN CONDO OR LANAIS. The state of Hawaii has a strict no smoking ordinance. Smoking allowed only in designated areas. Fines and extra cleaning are strictly enforced.

*RESORT FEES: Although this is a privately owned condo, the Whaler Homeowners Association charges a $33/day plus tax resort fee (which covers parking and resort amenities). It is payable at the front desk which is located in the main lobby. Front desk check-in and check-out is required at the Whaler.

Great room and centrally located next to Whalers Village. Walking distance to many spots along Kaanapali beach. Was not notified that parking is first come first served. Garage parking is usually full and overflow lots are really close so it wasn’t a big deal really. Would come back for sure.

Very impressed with the updated decor and newer carpet. Very clean unit. Could use a few more cooking utensil options and newer pans in the kitchen, but supplies were decent. Overall a nice studio! Thank you for the chips and 2 packets of coffee, nice touch!

After the Lahaina fires, we returned home to help my elderly parents whose heydays included the first hotel built in Kaanapali. Having stayed at the majority of resorts here over the years, I highly recommend this hidden gem & experience the staff’s true spirit of aloha.

Natural disaster
We were at the Whaler during the fires and we understand it was a natural disaster so our input is clouded by this disaster. Our hearts go out to all the families and everyone that was impacted. The staff at the Whaler was incredible and did a great job in managing the situation. We hope to return again and hopefully we will have a better time.

Amazing location
We had a fantastic stay at this condo. You can’t beat the location, with it being right on a great beach, next door to Whaler’s Village giving easy access to shops and restaurants, and right on the paved walk way the runs along the resorts in the area. It was a quick few minute drive to Lahaina and a short drive from tons of great beaches and sites along the coast of Kaanapali and north of. The condo itself was very comfortable and well equipped. The bed was comfortable, there were beach chairs and a cooler available and beach towels available through the building. We enjoyed having breakfast and watching the sunset from the deck. We had a fantastic stay!

Great location and facility. Generally very happy with this unit and would come back. To nitpick, the kitchen could have been better equipped, there were some stains on the carpet, and an issue with hot water coming out of the cold faucets in the bathroom.
