Whale's Tale Cottage- Tropical Island Charm on Man O War Cay With Beach Access

Everything we needed and peaceful and quiet

Our family spent 9 nights at Whales Tale and absolutely loved the home and loved MOW! Very well laid out with plenty of space for the whole family to hang out together in the living room. The porch and hammock were lovely as were the grounds. Very happy we chose Whales Tale and we hope to be back!

We stay at Whales Tale Cottage every year for our Abaco vacation. We love this rental home! The house is comfortable, beautiful and so relaxing. It’s a gorgeous, tropical yard full of palm trees, flowers and birds in the morning.It has an amazing wrap around porch where we spend lots of time on the grilling out, reading, relaxing on the hammock and then go exploring!Ebbie and Chuck are the best hosts and communicate regularly and are so kind. We love everything about staying at Whales Tale Cottage and we always vacation there!Gordon and Keri Bourne

Just had the privilege of spending a week at this wonderful property. The house is modern and pleasant in every way. It was quite warm while we were there, but the ac kept us cool, as did the summer breeze on the porch. Speaking of the porch, we took turns napping in the oversized hammock as well! Overall, a great stay!

This was our second year staying at Whale's Tale, a truly special vacation home situated on the pristine and untouched Man O'War Cay. We simply couldn’t resist returning! The yard is as enchanting as ever, featuring a vibrant palette of brilliant red hibiscus and other native blooms in shades of fuchsia and pink, beautifully complemented by lush green palm fronds. The homeowners have thoughtfully updated the kitchen with sleek white cabinets, marble-like countertops, and stunning sea glass shades of translucent subway tile. The home exudes warmth and hospitality, offering ample opportunities for family gatherings over meals and endless hours of puzzles and games. Ideal for outdoor living, it boasts a perfect location for accessing beaches on either side of the island, as well as the charming shops in the settlement. We dined at the newly renovated marina restaurant and savored coffee and pastries at the local coffee shop. Our family has been visiting Man O'War Cay since the 1980s, and Whale's Tale serves as the perfect venue to continue this cherished tradition. We already miss it!

The island never looked so good. the clean up after Dorian is remarkable. i would recommend whales' tale to all my friends

Whale’s Tale was a delight on the beautiful quiet island of Man-o-War Cay. It was a 5 minute walk to the beach and a short walk to the harbor for us to hop on our boat everyday. The outdoor shower was our everyday shower which we loved and kept the cottage from getting Sandy. The best part, in my opinion was laying in the hammock every afternoon or as sunset, reading my novel and enjoying the sounds of the ocean and the birds that frequent the beautiful yard. I would happily stay here again! Thank you for helping us create our family memories! gettingsnady.

Perfect location and accommodations for anyone looking for a true getaway.

The Whales Tale was perfect for my husband and myself as well as our daughter and son-in-law! It basically has two master bedrooms; one has a separate entrance which allows for privacy. Also there was other space for additional people/kids that we did not use. The air conditioning was fantastic, back up generator turns on automatically, the deck was very comfortable and the location was a short walk to the beach. The owners were very communicative.

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.
