Just back from our 4th trip to Whaler's. We had the luxury of getting Unit #138 which is the only condo with a 180 degree view of the cove and ocean. Basically we did not move from the balcony. There was no need as the sunrises and sunsets were stunning. The unit seems to have been recently renovated..super clean, nice... More

We are just packing up after a one week stay at Unit 130 in Whalers Cove. What a wonderful vacation! The unit is spotless, modern and beautifully decorated. Super views of the ocean from the lanai and upstairs from the master bedroom and even the shower in the master bath. We saw spinner dolphins and whales from the unit and... More

Very special resort on the South Side. Two nicely arranged buildings with several apartments – all equipped with everything needed for both overnight or permanent stay. Each apartment has different owner so although architectural pattern might be similar but the interior arrangement, décor and details are different, reflecting their style. Not all apartments are for rent. All apartments are either... More

Had another amazing stay at WC! A quick 3 day weekend to see the Kauai Marathon! Unit 230 was perfect-very well appointed. The service is always 5*. Aileen at the front office was so professional and accomodating and the daily room service is a huge bonus. Loved watching the spinner dolphins from the lanai..the sunsets and most of all the...

Awesome place. We stayed in unit 132 and it was nothing short of perfect. The sight and sound of the nonstop crashing waves was unforgettable. The unit itself was spacious, spotless and felt like a home instead of a vacation villa. We tried not spending a lot of time in the condo (since there is so much to do around... More

Our say at Whales Cove was everything that we had hoped it would be. Our condo 233 was the perfect ocean front accomdations. We loved to set on your lanai each day and watch the turtles and waves crash on the rocks. The staff was warm and personable, who loving care for this home away from home. We can't wait... More

Well we are not sure how you beat Whalers Cove (we stayed in #130), no car noise, this boutique resort is amazing. You will love Marianne and Aileen, become addicted to the sunsets and afternoons by the pool, watching the turtles that live in the lagoon or a wonderful dinners either out of on your lanai. We spent a lot... More

We had a wonderful time at Whalers Cove! Our condo had a beautiful ocean view and nice comfortable furniture. We enjoyed coffee on the balcony each morning. The condo was very quiet and the pool was never busy. We enjoyed swimming late in the afternoon and having the jacuzzi all to ourselves. We saw lots of turtles as they were... More

This is a fantastic property. Service is excellent;condos are lovely. The manager knows everything about the area, and is extremely helpful. Sea turtles are nearby every afternoon, and approachable. The condo had fantastic ocean views. Best orchid garden I have ever seen. It's a great location, near great beaches, snorkeling, outdoor activities, restaurants and shopping. It's small and personal with... More
