Home is perfect! Fantastic location, and close to the beach

This home really was perfect for us. The location was fantastic. Close to the beach, just a short walk out the front door, and centrally located to everything we needed or wanted to do. We had never been to OBX before, there are so many homes close together and yet we felt separated at the Whale Cottage providing the peace and privacy we wanted. We would stay here again and would definitely recommend this home to others.

Beautiful Outerbanks Home

Our family had an amazing time! The house provides everything that we could have needed. The hosts are very attentive and provide a lot of information about the area. The house was spotless and just steps from the beach. We enjoyed the hot tub, the porch swing and all of the decks. We’d come back again in a heart beat.

Perfect Beach House

We enjoyed staying at this home. It had everything we needed and was quite close to the beach. We stayed too early in the season for the pool but the hot tub was great. There are plenty of space, beds and everything was new and comfortable. There was coffee and tea available with creamer pods and such. We definitely recommend this property.

2 min walk to the beach, hot tub, Bodie Lighthouse, Responsive Hosts

Quick 2 min walk to the beach. Enjoyed the hot tub. Our little one wanted to visit the Bodie lighthouse so we ended up in the outer banks right before the start of the season so the pool was not open. Host was very responsive. Family friendly home, we had a nice time.

Best VRBO I've encountered

This vacation was a last minute trip for my family and I'm so glad we selected this property. The property was extremely clean and better in person than in photos. The house was fully stocked with items I wasn't expecting - - coffee, tea, robes, slippers, etc. The host was extremely responsive to questions as well as being proactive in terms of what to expect upon check in, what to do upon check-out, local hot spot recommendations, etc. I'd give this property an 11 out of 10. Fantastic!

Perfect for a family trip

This house was very comfortable for my family of 7. Everything was clean, the beds are great, and so many little extras like shampoo, trash bags, cooking oil etc. made it easier for us. We have stayed at rentals that don't supply even one trash bag. We loved all the outdoor spaces and the location is close to both the beach and the shopping areas. We were blessed with sun and great weather despite coming during the winter. We would definitely return if future travels bring us to the outer banks.

Perfect Getaway: The Whale Cottage Exceeds All Expectations!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Whale Cottage! I was so impressed with how fully stocked the home was with everything we could possibly need. We did not have to run to the grocery 1,000 times for small items we may have forgotten, they were already supplied in the home. Close to everything, easy walks, great hosts, plenty of space and beautiful!

Great stay and perfect location

We had a fantastic trip, with the only downside being too short. Next time we’ll plan to stay longer. Communication was A+, location was perfect, and the common area pool was perfect for the days you want a quick dip without heading to the beach. Highly recommend and we’ll be back!
