The Whaler! ~Beautifully Remodeled Ground Floor Courtyard Studio~

Welcome to The Whaler! Your perfect getaway begins in this beautifully remodeled ground floor courtyard studio, situated right on the stunning Ka'anapali Beach in Lahaina, Hawaii. This exceptional accommodation has seen numerous updates, including a brand new Grohe hand-held shower head installed in fall 2022, designed with families in mind for easy bathing of little ones. You'll appreciate the fresh artwork added during the summer of 2021 and the impressive 55” Samsung LED LCD Smart TV that enhances your relaxation time with its vibrant "Dynamic Crystal color."

This well-appointed studio features modern upgrades such as a stylish Rohl kitchen faucet, a refined Rohl bathroom faucet, new shower hooks, and an array of fresh cookware. A complete remodel in 2015 brought all-new painted walls, four louvered doors, elegant wood flooring, chair rail accents, and a comfortable sleeper couch with an extra-large mattress. The arrangement of the furniture is designed for optimal comfort, positioning both the bed and couch to face the TV directly, creating a spacious and inviting atmosphere.

The tranquil courtyard is adorned with lush tropical plants, a serene Koi pond complete with a waterfall, and a swimming pool, which creates a peaceful retreat. As night falls, the romantic appeal of the Koi pond is highlighted by ambient lighting and torches. Sip your morning coffee or unwind with an evening drink while taking in the breathtaking ocean views right from your private grassy area adjoining the lanai.

This fully remodeled studio is professionally decorated and offers top-notch amenities, including a 55'' flat-screen smart TV, DVR for your viewing convenience, secure high-speed 5G WiFi, a fully equipped modern kitchen, a plush king-sized bed, a queen sleeper couch, and a bathroom featuring a walk-in shower.

Summary: Laura and Jim were great hosts and very responsive. When we arrived, the pack n play had an issue and when we reached out, they responded right away (on Thanksgiving!) and had Karen bring over a new with hours! Our unit was very clean and perfect for our young family! Highly recommend!
