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!

We love that you enjoyed the outdoor space, that is one of our favorite parts of this home, and the proximity to the neighborhood park. We look forward to hosting you again!
Tough to beat this location, a block from the beach and the pier. The house itself has tons of room, and was very clean. Would definitely stay here again.
We had such a great stay at this property. It was clean and easy. The location is perfect for the beach, bars, & restaurants. The rooftop deck was definitely our favorite part!
The location was amazing and allowed us to walk to the beaches, local bars and restaurants. The house had everything needed. Landmark was very accommodating and easy to work with. We will be using them again!
House was clean, convenient to shops, stores, restaurants within walking distance, roof deck had great views. Bring dish towels and a grill brush - there were none. Great experience!

So glad you enjoyed your stay! Thanks for the feedback, we strive to get better and better!
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.

The house was perfect for our weekend getaway with my children and my parents. The house is very comfortable, clean, and in a great location. We were happily surprised to find the house stocked with beach chairs and tons of children’s toys. We would recommend to anyone!

Thank you for choosing Whale House for your vacation! We are delighted to hear you had a great time and we hope to host you again soon!
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.
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.

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!

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.

Family wedding great location, house was clean did not have enough towels for the amount of people the house accommodated called and they delivered more towels. Some of the furniture needs to be updated with more seating, eating area in kitchen is not big enough to accommodate the number of people in house. the garbage can in kitchen way to small. loved the rooftop area, beds were comfortable. Good family home to accommodate several families.

When we arrived the home was clean and very nice looking. It was a very comfortable stay for our family especially since there was enough room to spread out. The showers worked well, the kitchen had ample kitchenware, and the beds were comfy. We loved how close we were to the beach and pier. We would highly recommend and stay there again.
