We enjoyed our extended weekend stay at Whalers cove in Mid April 2013. As a party of 3 adults we wanted space for socializing in a group but also allow privacy by having individual bedrooms. At the time of booking the only available unit was of "Ocean View" grade. Initially we wanted something with a more direct ocean view, but... More

We had the best time staying in #135. The condo was spacious and beautifully decorated with the most spectacular ocean view. We loved waking up every morning and having breakfast on the balcony. The staff at Whaler's Cove were extremely attentive in regards to everything from local restaurant recommendations to having fresh towels, beach and bath, ready when we requested.... More

This was my first trip to Hawaii/Kauai and Whaler's Cove stood out among all the other condos with its stand-alone elegance and proximity to the ocean. "Wows" were passed back and forth from the entrance of the reception desk to the condo itself. The staff were very pleasant and accommodated all of our requests. They answered all of our questions...

I researched for months worried I wouldn't get what I wanted in a honeymoon condo.We settled on whalers cove #233. It was everything we wanted and more. Beautiful, new, luxury kitchen and bathrooms. Furniture and decor all high quality and fitting in with the Kauai and ocean theme. It is as if the owners and management have thought of everything... More

Prior to our first trip to Hawaii, I researched online for available housing near the beach and came across the stellar reviews for this property. They are well-deserved. Marianne was a gem to deal with and she booked us in unit #210, a two-BR end unit. She let us borrow beach mats and chairs to take to the very close... More

Had a really nice 4 night getaway at my favorite spot in Poipu! We enjoyed a newly refurbuished unit #120. We had never stayed on that side of the complex before and it was really nice! Very quiet and private..something to be said about an end unit- we heard nothing but ocean and palm trees. The service at Whaler's is... More

We had a wonderful stay in condo #125. It was clean, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable. The condo was in a perfect location for snorkeling, and had easy access to the beach and restaurants. I highly recommend Whalers Cove!

We spent a week in condo #125 at Whalers Cove late March. It was perfect for my husband, myself and our teenage daughters. Recently renovated, everything was new, beautiful and in perfect working order. The condo is huge, so there was lots of room to spread out. We loved sitting on the lanai and watching outrigger canoe races, dolphins and... More

It's okay but not as great as the reviews suggest. Most exasperating is lobby opening timings and even though they write in the information booklet you receive upon arrival that you can call after hours - no one picks up the phones - either land or mobile. However, we did see humpbacks breaching from our balcony - so that made... More

Great whale watching from the lanai -- dolphins and turtles too. Condo is clean and comfortable spot, upper floors have great views and are secluded compared to a big hotel. Boogie boarding and snorkeling close by at beaches down the street.
