Whaler I Condos for Sale

Oceanfront Living at The Whaler I

Situated on approximately 6.6 acres of prime beachfront real estate, the Whaler I (part of the larger Whaler Resort) offers a stunning blend of high-rise condo living and resort-style convenience. Two 12-story towers host a total of 360 units, including studios, one-bedroom suites, and spacious two-bedroom residences. These fee-simple units provide private lanais overlooking the Pacific, Molokaʻi, and iconic Black Rock.

Floor Plans & Interior Features

Floor plans vary across studios (523–542 sq ft), one-bedrooms (901–941 sq ft), and two-bedroom, two-bath units (~1,444 sq ft). Many units, especially remodeled ones, feature granite countertops, stainless appliances, in-unit laundry, and floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors for panoramic views. High-floor corner units are particularly prized for their sweeping vistas.

Resort-Style Amenities

While not a full-service hotel, the Whaler I offers key resort comforts. Residents enjoy a beachfront pool and spa, fitness center, sauna, tennis and pickleball courts, BBQ pavilions, koi garden, and fully landscaped grounds. Underground and surface parking, gated entry, and front-desk services add a layer of convenience.

Ownership Benefits & Rental Appeal

Everything here is fee-simple, meaning buyers gain full ownership without land-lease complications. The hotel zoning allows short-term vacation rentals, making the Whaler I suitable for both personal use and investment strategies. Many owners capitalize on Maui’s tourism by joining onsite rental programs or managing bookings privately.

Market Snapshot & Pricing

As of late 2024, listings range from around $1.1 million for studios or small one-bedroom units to over $4 million for deluxe oceanfront two-bedroom penthouses. Notable sales include Whaler I #1223—a 1,444 sq ft two-bedroom penthouse that was once listed near $2.4 million with high-end finishes.

Ideal Buyer Profiles

The Whaler I appeals to a broad buyer base. Solo travelers and couples find studios fitting, while one- and two-bedroom homes suit families, frequent vacationers, and investors. With excellent rental income potential and straightforward ownership, it aligns well with both lifestyle and financial goals.
