Pawfect beach hideaway!

Perfect location for a quiet family beach getaway with your fur baby! Quaint but clean and good outside deck spaces. Slightly dated furniture but the beds were comfortable and we were there for the beach so didn't bother us at all.

Great location.

Great location for a quiet family vacation. If you want to sit on the deck without a lot of traffic. The house could use some updating and paint, but are you going for the house or the beach? Public access was across the street and a short walk. No need to drive! Enjoyed our time.

Great location, could use improvements

Excellent location and well laid out home. Furniture is very dated, but fine for a beach house. Missing basic amenities like a dish sponge, hair dryer, beach towels, etc. we bought a hairdryer at a thrift store and left it in the rental.

Nice views and access from second row home

Beautiful deck overlooking ocean. Easy access to beach. Small but big enough deck on backside for gorgeous sunsets Minor leaky window and WiFi connection issues. A bit dated but we can see improvements are underway (hopefully). A whale of a good time!

Loved how close it was to the beach! Just a short walk to the public access to the beach. The water pressure was a lacking in both showers. Was lovely to sit out on the deck and have coffee in the morning and dinner and wine in the evening. Parking was very nice. There were a lot of flies everywhere st on point we made a game of how many we killed. Other than that we had a great time and even talked about booking it again next year!! Thank you!

It's like being in the fifths

We stayed a top sail many times the house that we always rent is up for sale. The last time we were here they started building the new bridge wow look at it now. Had a good time lost a few friends and a dog but our friend showed up with a new dog. Still had a good time

We loved our stay at Whaley

The location was great, the house was clean and most importantly (for us) our pup was allowed! We could see where parts of the house are not “updated” enough for some people, but we don’t mind that at all. It was a comfortable stay. The only two things we would recommend is adding a fenced in area and adding a gate to the deck for dogs. Those are two bonuses for families like us that take their pup everywhere, but we still had a great time! We will also give a heads up that the charcoal grill pictured was not there and the gas grill was not in the best shape. We grill a lot, so we just ended up getting a small propane grill. No big deal. We would stay at Whaley again!

Could’ve been better

Pros: -The views! Beautiful views of the ocean and sound! Amazing for being a second row home. -Nice newer decks to enjoy both the ocean and sound views -Beach access is very close. -Lots of windows to let in a lot of natural light during the day or beautiful moonlight during the evening. Cons: -The beds were very uncomfortable -2 of the main doors leaked. We came in to find a wet floor in the living room and master bedroom. Not a great way to start our stay. -Cleaners didn’t clean. The bathrooms were grimy and disgusting. Lots of buildup on the faucet and shower head. Also dead bugs all over the floor and all kinds of crumbs and other things. My wife tried to use the sweeper provided at the house and it didn’t even work. It pushed things around the floor and didn’t pick them up. Also dead bugs in the corners of the ceilings. -The freezer is disgusting. It’s all rusted. -The door knobs/locks are all corroded on the outside.

Unpleasant

The listing sites there is TV under entertainment which is correct however there was no WIFI to connect to which should be available. The location was dirty with dust and dried food stuck between the stove and countertop. The linens in the lower bedroom had blood on them. The walls had gross brow streaks running down them. The coffee pot was non functional. Mold in the bathrooms. Both beds that we used are broken. The only thing about this home that was accurate was the view! Shower curtains are used in the main living area which also had mold. The lower bedroom has stained curtains. Definitely will not use Vacasa as a as a rental agent in the future. The communication was horrible! They stated they were sending a Tech out two hours after we checked in we checked out on Friday instead of Sunday and still never saw a Tech to figure out the WIFI which meant we couldn’t do our necessary work without using a hot spot from our phones. The DVD player has no cord to connect to the TV for use and has a DVD stuck it it rendering it useless. Overall stay was miserable because we couldn’t work and couldn’t enjoy the beach due to weather conditions (uncontrollable I understand) but we couldn’t even stream a movie to the TV from our devises because when we tried to hook our device to the TV an error came up saying “not a spectrum approved device. The local “team” was of absolutely no use as they were condescending, rude and untruthful. We asked day one to move to a different unit but deny

Outdoor vegetation was out of control. We had to go buy a coffee maker because the house one was broke . Vacuum cleaner was broke as well . Carpets are heavily stained.
