We absolutely loved our stay at Kelly's place on Kā'anapali Beach! The view from the lanai was spectacular! We loved getting up in the morning and having coffee on the lanai with that gorgeous view of Kā'anapali Beach. There's still a beach in front of the Whaler (unlike some of Kā'anapali Beach hotels) so walking on the beach was easyily accessed. Watching the sunset from the lanai was just as spectacular! We were pleasantly surprised when we got to the condo because the living area looked better than the photos on the listing because the furniture has been updated since those photos were taken. The Hula Grill and Hui Hui restaurants are next door on either side of the Whaler with fresh, local Hawaiian food and live entertainment nightly. If you want to shop, the Whaler's Village shops are also right next door. Snorkeling and sunset cruise tours pick up on the beach very near the hotel, so we didn't even need a car. Everything was so convenient and not at all crowded in September. Our stay was absolutely wonderful!
