Over two nights I had two different rooms at Whale House. One was roomier with a really nice hot tub in a private deck. The Orca room was a completely adequate efficiency. The properly is surrounded by a garden which must be nice in season. Also has gas grill and sauna for guests. Good location along the east coast

Relaxing stay at the Whale house. The room is amazing! Only thing is the trees need to be trimmed to have a better view of the water.

Not what we expected but not a lot of options in the area. Property has 4 suites and I think we had the smallest of them. There is no staff on site, you get an access code via text the day before. Door was a little confusing but we eventually figured it out but it was awkward to use during our stay. Each suite comes with a hot tub, which is the selling point and while we did use it, it wasn't the reason for our booking. One more weird item is that guests are asked to not flush toilet paper and use the provided trash can for used TP and to limit showers to under 5 minutes. The suite we had also did not come with a TV but it did have a tablet connected to the internet. We generally stay in hotels/motels, this was the first time we used this type of property as there were no motels in the area. While it was OK I don't think I would book it again.

Place was very clean, very easy to find. Beautiful when you could see around the trees. Only complaint was the noise (footsteps) coming from upstairs every morning. If you wanted to sleep in this was not happening. Hot tub in the humpback room was very noisy when jets are on, also the view was blocked by trees. Overall we enjoyed our stay, cute property, and great attention to detail.

The good: It is a clean and newly renovated setup. Clearly they have taken a house and made it into 5 rentals. We stayed the in Orca Suite. The downside: We aren't fancy travelers in the least but at 430 in the morning our first night I was finding us a hotel room for the remaining 2 nights of our trip. The room felt like a shoebox that you could hear every bump and step from other guests beside and above. The bed is a double pushed up against the wall was not comfortable at all. The bathroom is fine but the energy saving motion light is a pain as it turns off while in the shower and also early morning if you even go near the bathroom door. The requested 5 minute showers to save water, yet it takes 3 minutes to get hot water. Add into the do not flush toilet paper rule. Other than the bed we could have dealt with it but the property has nowhere for you to sit. Out front of our room there was 2 chairs facing the parking area yet the bay is behind you. The photos shown are from the balcony of the hot tub suites. Really consider what you plan to do in the area. Other than the 2 whale watching tours in the area there isn't much going on. We sat in a convenience store parking lot enjoying the view for the evening. Most disappointing part? When I sent a text to the host letting them know we wouldn't be staying the 2nd and 3rd nights the response I got was. "Okay, Have a great day". I knew I wasn't getting a refund but to not ask why seemed off.

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.

We came in off our ECT hike and our first impressions of the property were awesome! We loved the wild flower garden and the cute little labeled doors added to the ambience. We stayed in the humpback suite and the hot tub was divine. The room was well sized, and the distance to the closest convenience store was perfect as was the great on site BBQ and utensils. The bathroom was decent... there was some mildew in the caulking of the shower and some hair from the last guest. Be careful on the shower! Im not sure if it was the cleaner that was used but it was so slippery we had to brace ourselves in order to stay standing. We were happy to be off trail and enjoying the Gull calls until the chorus of stomping started followed by moving of furniture upstairs. Literally non stop until about 10pm and then started again around 5 am. Which is too bad as I was really hoping to finally sleep in! While the property was cute and quaint and I understand the vision I for one would choose somewhere else to stay if you are looking to relax and get some sleep!

I stayed at Orca Room - A lovely room with a small kitchenette and a bathroom. There was nicely scented shower gel and shampoo. The location is very quiet, right on the water. If you're a light sleeper, you might want to bring earplugs, as the rooms are a bit noisy. I was prepared, so everything was fine. Thank you.

Beautiful view, trails nearby and the bed is comfortable. Loved the hottub. The only critique was there was only a tiny sink in the bathroom, making it difficult to clean kitchen utensils. Overall would highly recommend, we would definitely go back again.

We were so pleasantly surprised with how cute and cozy our little Guest House/room was. It was so modern and well equipped with everything we would have needed within the kitchen and a bonus was we were able to use the sauna in the evening before our sleep! Thank you for providing us with a wonderful and comfortable overnight stay! Would have loved to have stayed longer but we we needed to continue on our road trip route.

We stayed for 2 nights at the Orca room. It is a smaller room and does not have an AC. Overall this was reasonable value for the price. It was perfect for the 2 of us.

Lovely location, right on the East Coast Trail. Easy to find. Sauna was wonderful. Room was great - cooking facilities were nice to reduce eating out costs. Could hear people in adjacent rooms (just everyday noises, they were not being particularly noisy/partying).
