Quick Responses from property manager
A fuse had to be replaced for the spa, which the property manager took care of very quickly. Overall, the house is large enough to give a family group overall privacy in the setting, and each person some privacy in the well laid-out floor plan and outdoor spaces. Be aware there are two flights of stairs to get to the main living area and kitchen, but the stairs are double hand railed and carpeted. The privacy from palms and other vegetation and a private road type setting in front and a golf green up small flight of stairs in back of house was just what we wanted.

Incredible!
What a wonderful stay at the Whale House! This home does not disappoint. My husband and our friends had the best time. We love to cook so the kitchen was a dream! The pictures don't do it justice. We loved spending our mornings and evenings on the second floor porch overlooking the pool and sunsets. Everyone had ample space and privacy. Daniel was so quick to respond with any questions we had, incredibly helpful. I would stay here in a heartbeat if we get back to Maui. Mahalo!

Great home and location!!
My family (10 total) stayed at this beautiful home for a week and had so much fun! The location is close to several beaches, shops, restaurants and exciting excursions. We loved the big kitchen, and enjoyed cooking and sitting around the large table together. The kids enjoyed the round pool as well. Would definitely stay here again…thank you!

Our private Maui hotel
Where do I start? Plenty of room for our blended family of 9 to space out comfortably. The upstairs area was great for eating as a family and enjoying movies and games in the evening. Fantastic/spectacular views of sunrise/sunset from the balcony, great place for your morning coffee. So close to the beach and so many other wonderful places to go. Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect house for family trip
This house was perfect for our family vacation. Lots of space for everyone to spread out. Hot tub was easy to use and private pool was great. Location was perfect easy walk or drive to the beach and shopping. The few minor issue we had were promptly address by Daniel and resolved quickly. View from the balcony was great for watching the whales in the channel. Kitchen was huge and well stocked made cooking dinners easy (the fish market Maui was a quick drive away for fresh fish) highly recommend this house if you are travelling with a larger group.

Whale House For The Win!
This property is incredible! This is our second time in Maui and first at the Whale House. If we make it back to Maui a third time, we will most certainly be staying here again. Excellent layout, tons of space, and nice amenities both inside and for the beach. Beautiful property located conveniently near Ka'anapali.

Perfect Christmas getaway
My family (mother, sisters, brothers in law, niece, nephew, and sons) have been planning a Christmas vacation away for a long time. This house was perfect for it! Rooms were spacious including the kitchen which was large enough that several people could be helping at once prepare the meals and clean up afterwards. The large dining table allowed us all to eat together. We loved the deck outside which grill for outdoor cooking. The pool was nice however, because there was no propane available due to supply issues, we weren't able to have our pool heated during our stay. The house was very clean and organized. Having beach towels, beach chairs, and boogie boards available was great! We used them every day and then used the washing machine and dryer at night to clean all the towels for the next day. The house was in a good location near the beach. When the bicycles tires were flat and the tire pump wasn’t functional the owners dropped off a new bike pump in a timely manner so the boys could go riding. The back of the house looks onto the golf course and we had a beautiful view of the trees and the ocean from the second floor balcony. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend the Whale House!

A Slice of Paradise with Every Amenity Imaginable!
We recently had the pleasure of staying at this incredible Hawaii home through VRBO, and it was nothing short of a dream come true! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the lush surroundings, breathtaking pool, and the warmth of the Hawaiian sun. The property is an absolute gem, and the private pool was a highlight of our stay. Surrounded by swaying palm trees and tropical flowers, the pool area provided a secluded oasis where we could unwind and soak up the sun. The crystal-clear water was a refreshing escape from the heat, and all the kids and adults found themselves spending countless hours lounging on the comfortable poolside furniture. The home itself is a true haven of comfort and luxury. The two-floor layout allowed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, with lots of room for 10 of us. The bedrooms were spacious and elegantly decorated, providing a cozy retreat after a day of exploring the island. One of the standout features of the property is the well-appointed kitchen. It had everything we needed to prepare delicious meals, and we took full advantage of the modern appliances and ample counter space. Enjoying breakfast on the outdoor patio with the sound of Hawaii in the background became a cherished morning ritual. The property manager was exceptionally helpful and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was to our satisfaction. I definitely recommend the property we stayed at!

WONDERFUL
We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The proximity to the beach is not a lie! However, the walk back to the house is all uphill but short. 😊. There were enough bedrooms for our family of 12 and enough room if we needed our own space. Kitchen amenities were great, along with everything we needed for the beach. Be aware, there are many steps going into the house and in the house. The main bedrooms are on the ground level and kitchen and living on the upper. The view from the lanai is amazing. Communication with Daniel and Kendra, during our stay was great. Thank you My husband arranged a surprise marriage vow renewal on Napili Bay. 24.5 years. The first time was on Big Beach.

Truly Amazing Property and Stay
The “Whale House” was truly remarkable. From the “wow” factor, that doesn’t fade, every time you walk up to and into the house, to the amazing layout, it is truly a one-of-a-kind place. It’s beautiful, unique, loaded with art, and is just so comfortable. As a multi-generational group, it was so nice to have multiple seating areas with a spacious open floor plan that allowed people to be doing different things and yet all feel together. The small pool was great for quick dips and to cool off. The outdoor dining area and grill, surrounded by chaise lounge chairs, was a centerpiece for many of our meals. Sitting on the balconies and overlooking palm trees and the ocean with coffee was a morning ritual. There were boogie boards, surf boards, a paddle board, beach umbrellas, chairs, snorkel gear, sand toys, and coolers in the garage that covered everything we needed. The short walk to the Kahekili beach (which surprisingly also always had available parking) was great. The beach was uncrowded, and the snorkeling around the just offshore reefs and abundant fish were unexpected and as good as any place else we snorkeled. A few other pluses, two parking spaces plus room in the garage for a third car, a beautiful and quiet golf course neighborhood, and always felt very safe. Everything was great, and we had a wonderful time. I can’t imagine a place that is better all-around than this one.

Family Birthday Vacation Celebration!
This home truly met all the needs of my entire family! There was so much space for all of us to easily spread out, which included my grown children, their spouses as well as my 3 and 6 year old grand children. The home was so clean and well organized… The owners provided a beautiful and over-the-top, welcoming basket with so many goodies. The Home Truly had everything a family needed to vacation within the home (books, puzzles, pool, chess, relaxing on balconies) as well as on the beach (beach chairs, beach toys, boogie boards, ice chests, towels, etc.). The home could have used a few more coffee mugs, as well as child plastic cups, but these were minor items that I am sure the owners can easily remedy. The location and neighborhood are absolutely spot on beautiful… A wonderful place to take a run or a walk to the nearby beach. This was truly a wonderful and magical family vacation… Thank you so much to the owners for sharing their wonderful home with us and God Willing We Will Be Back!! : )

The Whale House
There were lots of great things about this house. We loved the location (you could walk to the beach in about 15 mins or drive right across the main road and easily find parking) The house itself was large and well suited for a our group of two families. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to make all our meals. Every bathroom had Shampoo, conditioner and body wash which was a real plus. The pool deck was nice with a great grill and lots of seating. We paid extra to heat the pool because it was March so it was at a perfect 86 degrees for our stay. Communication with the property manager was great and they tried to resolve any issues we had in a timely manner. Unfortunately we had a couple of issues. The dishwasher did not clean the dishes when run. The property manager responded immediately and let us know that she wanted to replace the appliance instead of repairing because they have had issues with it before. Luckily the sink was nice and large which made washing the dishes by hand easy. Finally, I have to mention our biggest issue, on day 2 of our 6 night stay we started seeing cockroaches. They were in every bedroom, bathroom and the kitchen. The situation worsened everyday. I alerted the owner and properly manager. He responded quickly and offered to send an exterminator the next day.

Great Family Gathering House
This was our first trip to Maui. We were a family group of 8 adults and one 6 month old. We chose this house for its size and heated pool. Overall I have to say that the house was great. It has a real wow factor the minute you walk in. It was very spacious and clean, and having two refrigerators was a real plus. The location of the house was not bad, but if you are a beach person you will need to drive, especially if you need to haul all of your beach
