Stayed here at the unit for a total of 6 days and 5 nights. LOVED this unit!!
The location was so key && being in Kapaa you're just so central to the south shore and north shore. It's also a 5 minute drive into downtown Kapaa where there are restaurants and shops! It's very close to Safeway and Foodland which are the main grocery stores on the island.
An enjoyable thing about this unit is that it is LITERALLY a few steps from the ocean. The whole time we stayed here we kept the screen door open enjoying the trade winds and the sound of the ocean's waves. The unit has everything you could basically need for a comfortable stay. It's also a few min walk to the coconut grove shopping area and a few small shops towards the end of the prospect that serves food and coffee.
On the outside It has a nice small trail where you are able to take a nice morning stroll during sunrise and sunset. Waking through the trail it does take you through the 2 or 3 properties that seem to be all connected. It was a little shorter than I had thought so my run had to be among the trail maybe 1/4 of a mile and then rest was through the properties and sometimes through the pool area that broke my stride. If you have a car.. Drive to the end of Kapaa (7-10min drive) and run along the coast. The trail there is long enough to get a good long run in and the views there are unobstructed of the beautiful ocean.
The most enjoyable thing about this property is that THERE ARE NOT A LOT CHILDREN. When on vacation I like to swim without kids splashing only my face while at the pool. I like quietness and serenity when I'm in such a beautiful place like this! The crowd is more adults than anything and that made the experience here that much better.
One thing was that was a little discouraging is the amount of parking spaces they have here. You'll want to make sure you pick up your parking permit at the front desk. The Whaler's Cove unit is inside of The Islander a Beach resort which is the last little cubby area next to the Tree's lounge. I think all the little shops there all share the parking lot.
Overall my stay was amazing and I'd highly recommend the unit. The views, the amenities and the location will make your stay comfortable and enjoyable.
