🐓🦎 PEST CONTROL AND ROOSTERS:
Due to Maui’s rural location you may experience the occasional rooster, as well as harmless geckos. Geckos are friendly, eat insects, and are considered good luck in Hawaiʻi. Please don’t kill them.

Contact us if you experience more than normal pest activity — we’ll work with the HOA to help. These occurrences do not constitute a refund or rental adjustment.
☀️ HAWAIʻI CLIMATE:
Hawaiʻi’s tropical environment supports a variety of island wildlife, including geckos, ants, and occasional roosters. Despite regular professional pest control, these are part of normal island living. Our units are carefully cleaned and inspected, and any contact with such pests does not constitute a breach of agreement or qualify for refund or adjustment.
🔕 DISTURBANCE NOTICE:
We make no guarantee that surrounding properties will be free from disturbances such as construction, traffic, or other guests. These do not constitute a breach of this rental or any refund entitlement. Please read all notices prior to booking.

This unit is impeccably updated/decorated and comfortable, with all items we could need. The bed was extremely comfortable, slept like a baby. The location of the Whaler Resort was perfectly situated for anything we wanted to do. A wonderful home away from home and would stay here again!

This home is truly amazing. It's even better in person. It has everything you could want for a relaxing getaway.Loved the location. Took lots of walks, went shopping,restaurants are super close and good. Had to go to Mama's Fish House, Merriman's and Plantation House.The sound of the waves, the sunrise & sunsets are hard to beat. Oh and turtles swimming by daily!!We had a slight hiccup on first day but Stay Aloha was quick to respond and took care of everything. We would love to go back and stay longer. Best Anniversary yet!!!

Beautiful property!
This is the third time we've stayed at the Whaler and the first time at this property because we only needed a one bedroom condo. It has recently been completely renovated and it is just beautiful and well-appointed. It is on the quiet side of the resort with a fantastic view of Black Rock and neighboring island Molokai. We will definitely be returning to this beautiful property!

Family getaway
Stayed for 4 days in Kaanapali, chose the Whaler for its close proximity to the village, dining and steps to the pool and beach. The condo felt like home away from home, the kids loved using the boogie boards and swimming with the turtles just downstairs from our unit. Kitchen is well equipped, we made breakfast every morning and ate it on the lanai, the grill area downstairs is super convenient, we dined next door at Monkey pod and Leilani's which are fabulous. We could live here, and we will certainly be back. When we transitioned to our location in Wailea, everyone missed the convenience of the condo immediately. Thank you!

February in Maui is Fabulous!
This unit provided the perfect environment for our winter get-away. The unit is on the quiet side of the complex with wonderful views of the beach and Black Rock. We loved listening to the waves crash through the open windows.
I wish we had thought to bring binoculars but even without them, we could see whales from the lanai and the beach. I was shocked at how close they are to the beach. My husband was happy to lounge on the balcony and read between our adventuring out.
The kitchen is fully equipped and up-to-date. We didn't do much cooking, but breakfast was easy and we felt fortunate to have access to a full kitchen.
Stay Aloha shared a lovely welcome basket packed with Hawaiian treats. We appreciated having coffee available on our first morning without having to go to the grocery store.
The bed in this unit was the most comfortable that we have ever slept on! I would absolutely buy the same type for my own home. I had anticipated having to use the Murphy Bed in the living room, but the bed was so great that I was never disturbed by husband's usual twitching and moving throughout the night. It was perfect - best sleep ever!
Beach chairs and umbrella are available for tenant use. Boogie boards and beach reads were also on hand.
We had a little bit of a learning curve to figure out the TV (Super Bowl) and called the property manager - super responsive and polite.
We will be back!

Beautiful Unit and Amazing Management Company
First of all this unit is in the top 10% of whaler units you can find (in terms of cleanliness, quality of furnishings, and it has been recently and nicely remodeled - completely). But secondly, the property manager is first class and extremely accommodating and responsive. Highly Recommended!
