Whale House Guest House

Beautiful spot and we enjoyed ourselves but the heat was off when we arrived and it took quite a while it to come on. In December to arrive and it be freezing was disappointing.

The hosts were great, the place was clean, everything we needed for a short stay was there. Everything was marked well, easy to find, and clear instructions were set out for the use of amenities in/around the property. Bonus points for the cruelty free products that were supplied. There were a couple of small things that would have really gave it that extra something though. It would have been nice to have a little space to sit outside on such nice days, even just enough room for a patio chair or two. The hot tub was nice but didn’t feel as private as we would have liked due to the patio above, and the large windows from one of the other suites just off to the side. The curtains do provide some privacy but we were still very aware of the people/things around us. Speaking of privacy all of the google assistants seamed to be linked to the same account so at one point we were listening to music that was being controlled from somewhere else in the house. It took a minute to figure out what was happening. Considering the capabilities for drop ins, and the built in cameras, having all of those linked felt a little concerning.

Disappointing We booked the Humpback Room for 2 nights for our honeymoon. After a lot of indecisiveness, we chose this one. The pictures online looked amazing. Upon arrival, the beginning of our honeymoon was disappointing as the room wasn’t cleaned from the previous occupant. The used blankets and sheets were all balled up at the bottom of the bed and the garbage overflowing. It took a few tries but my husband reached the owner and she showed up near immediately. She apologized “profusely”, said she was embarrassed, asked us if we wanted wine now or after the room is cleaned, and offered the cleaning fee of $50 to be refunded. We went for a walk while waiting for it to be ready. We ended up coming back and eating our food in our car. Once the room was ready we went inside again. She had brought a basket of extras - which I’m not actually sure was extras. The bottle of wine was miniature. We were extremely disappointed for $665 we expected better. This was our honeymoon and we wanted it to be nice. We liked that the check in and out using the keypad was simple; We liked that they had a microwave, toaster oven, mini fridge, plug in burner, and a frying pan; We liked the hot tub. Their garden pictures are a little outdated as the place just looked overgrown. We read about beaches in the area and misinterpreted a sandy beach

The footsteps of people walking in the suite above kept us awake. Sheets were cheap. Hot tub on deck was nice but took up the whole deck and there was nowhere to sit out. View of ocean not that great cause of trees and bushes.

Our stay at the Whale House was nothing short of spectacular. It was so peaceful and serene.We were lost in the moment and loved the landscape and scenery. The place was very tidy and clean. It certainly had warmth and character.The hot tub was an added bonus. Relaxing and enjoying the view and fresh air.Everything we needed was right there at our fingertips. Host Amanda,was phenomenal with all information provided and prompt replies made it an even more enjoyable experience. Thank you…we’d love to come back again for another stay!!

A nice getaway
