Enjoy the mountains and the beach!
We truly loved our stay at Kurt’s apartment. It’s location, price, and amenities were exactly what we were looking for. Our party was 2 adults and two kids (boys 7 and 9.) My husband and I wanted a place where we could enjoy a beer on the balcony in the evening while the kids slept. The balcony wraps around so if you are bored of the beach, you can see the west Maui mountains. There are fragrant trees and birds chirping throughout the day. It is very peaceful even though it is located near Whalers Village which is a full on tourist mall with food, shopping and entertainment.
Regarding “The Whaler,” the condo facility, it is beautifully maintained, they provide towels and have a fitness facility as well as grills and tables. Check In was like checking into a hotel. Plenty of parking is available as well so we never had to worry about the car.
Regarding the unit, it is on the 3rd floor, and although it is the furthest back closest to the mountains, it provides EXCELLENT views of the beach AND the mountains and you can even watch the sunset from the balcony (although we also enjoyed it from the beach a few steps away.) The condo is super organized and clean. So many towels and SO MUCH STORAGE!! I love having a place for everything, and Kurt’s place allowed me to do that. The condo is also fully stocked- even with kids sand toys and beach chairs. However, I would recommend you bring your own snorkel gear since you can hop out to Ka’anappali Beach out front and see plenty of fish! We bought ours on amazon for the four of us and paid less than $100 total and it’s $78 to rent for one day- bring your own and take them all over.
My one constructive criticism (I’m grasping at straws) is to get a new broom. That’s IT! The broom is older, and with sand being tracked in, it would be nice to have a newer one.
I highly recommend this location!
