This house was very reasonable for the price. It was actually cheaper than most of the other properties despite it being closest to the beach, larger, sky roof included. Would definitely recommend this place.

Perfect stay for extended family!

The location is amazing, close to the beach and restaurants. A park is right across the street for kids. The house was extremely clean and comfortable for 9 people, six adults and 3 young children. The outdoor area under the house was great to relax after the beach and allow the kids to safely be outside without going into the street. Would definitely stay again!

All around wonderful!

This beach house was the perfect accommodation for our family. Very spacious living spaces with more than enough room. The master bed was so comfortable too. Having a rooftop to look out on all of wrightsville was a cherry on top. You can’t beat the location either! We will absolutely stay here again.

Nice place

A lot of previous guests must have left their beach items at the house. The listing said to bring your own beach chairs, toys, towels etc., but when we arrived there was plenty available. Also the grill provided was unusable, we contacted the property management and they are aware.

Great stay for your family getaway!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Whale House. The location was great with beach access a few steps away. Being along the loop made it easy to step outside and walk/run at our leisure. We enjoyed the rooftop deck offering vast views of WB. We found the house to be everything we needed, with rooms and comfortable beds for everyone. And when we wanted to have family meals, the kitchen offered a great space to prepare and enjoy a meal together. We would definitely recommend the Whale House!

Great location that has everything!

We were across the street from the beach, one block from the pier, two blocks from the running/walking trail…and had ample parking for two cars. The house has everything you would need. We cooked every meal for 7 adults. The refrigerator held the food, and there is a beer cooler and a wine cooler..so we were all set. We had a problem getting the TV to connect to the local channels, and the property manager was great about helping…even on a Saturday of a holiday weekend. She saved the day since it was the season opener of college football. Very happy! Great house.

Sub Par

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house could be great! Unfortunately, a mildew/mold issue is causing some sort of smell which the owner or rental property are trying to cover up with fake smelling plug in deodorizers and numerous scented beads! I’ll admit I’m very sensitive to smell. A better solution would be to keep fans on and shades open. When we arrived all shades were down. Sunlight helps mildew/mold. This along with the dirty /crumpled rug in the main room and entrance was not welcoming!! We slipped on rug by front door several times. Luckily the kitchen has good bones and after we cleaned and put out cups of coffee grounds it did smell better, but the odor was still there. At one point I thought it might be cat urine, but the management properly assured me no pets are allowed. Beds and bathrooms were comfortable and this place would be great for people interested in crashing not Lounging and enjoying the home. (We had several rainy days and the house was not comfortable. The tv was confusing and they didn’t have nbc stations!). There is no dining room table to have a meal only stools at the island. We did enjoy the roof top with stunning views! Unfortunately, I was stung by a wasp, but the rental company was quick to respond and the nest was removed the next day. Luckily I’m not allergic. The rental company was quick to respond to our concerns and sent the cleaning crew out to clean mildew/mold from kitchen window. They also apologized for the necklace I found in the master bed and the long black hair on the floor of the master bedroom. I replaced all bedding with new items we washed from home goods and bought bath mats for the master. It made the weak bearable, but for what we paid we expected much higher quality. If you continue to rent out this property please address these issues. It’s very disappointing to spend this amount of money for this level of service.
