Maui Resort Rentals: The Whaler 965 - Gorgeous 9th Floor Studio, Fantastic Pacific Ocean and West Maui Mountain Views!

Enjoy gorgeous views of the Pacific Ocean and Maui's neighboring island Lanai, as well as views of the lush West Maui Mountains, from this luxurious 9th-floor studio suite at the Whaler in the heart of Kaanapali Beach.

Luxuriously remodeled, Suite 965 offers plenty of sleeping capacity for up to 4 guests with a sumptuous king-size bed and a queen convertible sofa-sleeper.

Prepare meals or refreshments with the convenience of a full modern kitchen featuring granite countertops, custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and elegant tile.

The bathroom has been completely renovated for a lavish bath experience. Catch your favorite show on the flat-panel HDTVs in the suite. Free high speed wi-fi is also included with your stay.

Nestled right in the heart of Kaanapali Beach, steps from soft sands and pristine waters, the Whaler boasts one of Maui’s best resort locations. This world-famous beach offers an abundance of shopping, dining, and activities right at your doorstep. Luaus, dinner cruises, snorkel trips, parasailing (summer only), whale watching (winter only), surf lessons, and more are only a short walk away.

Lounge by the sparkling beachfront pool and hot tub or take a dip in the crystal blue waters of the Pacific. A beachside towel desk can assist with gear rentals for snorkeling, stand-up paddle boarding, surfing, and more. Additionally, enjoy a game at one of the tennis or pickleball courts or a workout in the fully equipped fitness center. The Whaler even has a private entry directly from the resort to Whalers Village, a beachfront mall offering unique boutique and high-end stores in addition to an array of dining options ranging from grab-and-go to fine dining with sweeping ocean views.

I love staying at the Whaler and this is by far my favorite studio. It’s not overly crowded with furniture and everything is nicely spaced. I like being on the side facing the Whaler’s Village as well because you can hear the live music and smell all the good smells. Will definitely be back.

A Week in Paradise
The property was well appointed, clean and ideally located for the relaxing vacation we needed. Spent a lot of time on the Lanai and on the beach sitting in the property provided beach chairs. An earlier reviewer mentioned the noise from the Hula Grill and MonkeyPod restaurants below but it wasn’t that bad from our perspective and the views outweighed any background noise. Would rent the same unit again.

Stunning condo in amazing location
This is one of the best properties I have ever stayed at, and it is such a perfect welcome to Hawaii/Maui for us. The location cannot be beaten, and the view from the lanai is a perfect way to start/end the day. Maui Resort Rentals is also very good at communicating with us - they make the process extremely streamlined. We will definitely recommend this condo, and will be back again in the future!

Perfect condo on Kaanapali
We had the best time staying at the condo. It was in the middle of everything, walking distance to the shops at Kaanapali, and all the different beaches. We had an incredible view of the ocean every day. The condo unit was perfect for both of us because there was a little kitchenette with a full-size fridge, a large enough bathroom with a shower for both of us, and lots of storage space. The best part of the condo was having the laundry room near our room to do laundry for free! Lastly, we enjoyed having beach chairs and a cooler that came with the condo! We hope to stay again in the future!

Perfect spot for a Kaanapali getaway
Great place to stay in Kaanapali! Quiet and clean. There are a few snorkels in the closet as well as a beach umbrella, which was super handy. All the people who work in the condo building are really nice and helpful.
