Fantastic views and well equipped!
The house has the most incredible views and the game room and hot tubs were wonderful, clean, and in good working order. We came up with family and friends and are big on cooking feasts. We pack a lot of our necessities but the kitchen was well equipped. To address previous reviews, there is a coffee maker but no coffee and we didn't see any multipurpose cleaner so thankfully we brought our own. The doors and windows didn't function well but they still locked and opened when we needed it. The host was communicative and gave us info when there was a power outage. Would stay again!

The house is great for groups going to the beach. It could use some minor repairs (blinds in the rooms are missing, one toilet is a little loose, dining chairs need to be fixed).

Things we wish we knew
Would have liked a bottle of purpose cleaner to speed up cleaning in kitchen, knowing we needed to bring dishwasher soap. Knowing we needed to bring detergent for the washing machine. We were provided two units for each machine which was not enough. We left dirty dishes in the machine and we do not do that. Heating each room was a thing. The main room wasn’t an issue but we froze our butts off in the bedroom. Didn’t know we had to turn on the heater by hand. The post they provided inside when we arrived didn’t mention this. Saturday was very stormy and caused interior leaking in the dinning room under the heater unit - something to check Didn’t see a scraper for the grill. So we grilled on a dirty grill Master bed needs to be updated, this bed is noisy and uncomfortable please please update this Couch was amazing View is amazing

When we walked into the Whale Watch the 1st thing we noticed was the gorgeous view. The living room, dining room & kitchen open concept was our favorite part of this house. We had a great time celebrating the New Year.

Send list of broken/damage we noticed upon arrival to Wine Country reps that reached out to us. Also, compost can was filled with both compost and recyclables when we arrived. Trash people didn’t put it out on Tuesday either. We only filled garbage and recycle can since didn’t want to add to issue. Otherwise enjoyed our stay. Nothing broken impinged on our stay just noticed. House was really nice with well stocked kitchen with very nice pots and pans. Really enjoyed ourselves. Sue Neves

The property was nice. We enjoyed our stay. The only one thing that was an issue is the back door, it was hard to lock and the hydraulic is in the middle of the door and my husband hit his head a few times. We hung a towel on it to remind us to duck as it is pretty low for anyone 6”or higher. We had a wonderful time. Thank you for renting to us.

Beautiful Views
Whale watch has beautiful views of the beach and ocean. A deck for enjoying the ocean air and views and watching for deer and rabbits. Nice updated and comfortable furniture throughout the house. Well-stocked kitchen for cooks - we like to cook and usually bring a few of our must have kitchen tools but other than our favorite knife we would have been fine with what was available. Plenty of board games and game room with ping pong for entertainment. We enjoyed a walk down to the beach - 15-20 downhill then a great uphill exercise walk on the return. Hosts were great communicators. The power in town went out while we were there and the hosts reached out quickly to offer support. We had already found the flashlights and were good to go. Definitely bring beach towels for beach and hottub.

Lovely View and Comfortable House
We had a wonderful family vacation at this lovely home over the 4th of July holiday. The house itself is very comfortable and clean. The kitchen is well equipped and the beds were all comfortable. The view is awesome and the description of the listing was completely accurate. It had a great bbq grill as well as a nice hot tub. When we arrived, we noticed ants in part of the kitchen. By the next day, they were all over the central island. But mysteriously, they pretty much disappeared by that evening, and did not return. The only downsides of our stay were that while we had 10 people, we only had bathroom linens for 8 and there were no extras. Also, we could not get the fireplace to work despite many tries. Otherwise, the vacation was wonderful and we would definitely consider a repeat performance at the Whale Watch house.
