Vacation Paradise in Man O'War Cay

Nestled in the heart of Man O'War lies the charming residence known as Whale's Tale. Our family has been visiting MOW since the 1980s. We adored Whale's Tale. The dwelling is enveloped in luxuriant landscapes filled with lush flowering greens, bougainvillea, and hibiscus. Each day, we engaged in our yoga practice or immersed ourselves in reading while swaying gently in the hammock on the front veranda. The abode boasts two queen beds and a smaller twin, each accompanied by its own recently renovated and beautifully decorated bathroom. The kitchen is well-appointed, perfectly meeting our culinary needs. Whale's Tale is tastefully adorned in soothing shades of blues and greens reminiscent of the sea glass scattered along the shoreline. It proved to be the idyllic retreat for our family's vacation.

Wonderful beach house with outstanding location

This Whale Tale property is a slice of paradise. Beautifully furnished and the garden property 500 feet from a gorgeous beach is so wonderful as a home base for adventuring the island. Hosts were very responsive and we felt we got more than we expected with the amazing island home and experience. Will absolutely stay here again.

Great Cottage on Man-O-War

We stayed at this property in November of 2023. The property has a bedroom inside with one twin bed and a larger bed, as well as another bedroom accessible by the porch. It worked very well for a family with younger teenagers. The property has an amazing covered porch which is where we spent most of our time. The kitchen is well stocked for a small space - nice open concept space into the living room. A very quick walk to the ocean and short walk to the settlement. Caretakers and owner were very responsive.
