WH416: The Whaler

Always happy with the ease of renting homes through Village Realty! Responsive to any questions in a quick manner. The Whaler was very nice. If anything, we would suggest new mattresses on the twin beds. Both queens were great, but the twins were very well worn - not too comfortable. Other than that, the home had everything we needed, well equipped and we truly appreciated the bagel coupon for Lighthouse Bagels (our favorite).

We loved our stay at the Whaler! We stayed in a different home with a different rental company last summer and to say that this stay was so much better is an understatement! We will definitely be back!

This was our 4th year with Village Realty and 2nd straight at the Whaler. There was a hiccup with the code but it was promptly resolved, and a minor issue with the stove that was addressed quickly as well. I believe the mattresses are new (at least the one on the upstairs room)

We had a lovely stay at The Whaler. Nice house, clean, close to the beach, nice pool. The house was exactly what we needed and I have no complaints. However, and this is not a complaint, just a warning to other parents with small children, this isnt the best house for toddlers or small children. They did have outlet covers, which I appreciate, but there is no way to safely put a baby gate at the top of the stairs. I called before hand and asked so I was aware of this but I thought I could just push a coffee table or arm chair in front to block, but the furniture is light and my Herculean baby threw it to the side like it was a pillow. Also, my tiny terror is a water lover and a strong willed sneaky baby so I brought door knob protectors to contain him, BUT, the front door is a pull down handle so they didnt work. I also brought a door stick to wedge in the front door in case it was the pull down handle but with the locking system it cant be used or the door cant lock and beeps at you. Some of this might not matter to other parents, it just depends on your baby, and mine happens to be super strong, and crazy determined to get to the water, so playing chase the baby took away some of the fun from the vacation. This again isnt a poor reflection on the house just a warning to other parents with crazy babies like mine!
