    This place was awesome! The Kids loved the bunk beds and it was so close to the ocean that we were able to walk! Food was close by and there was a TV in every room!Thanks so much!

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was good place. Might come back later. Couple of issues we saw:- head clearance on the double bunk bed was low. The first level clearance was too low you'll hit your head if you don't watch out. Even for kids!- Maybe owners can provide netflix account in the TV but otherwise it's good.- Internet is super fast. Amazing.- Pest control guy came in for 2 minutes. Property managers had to coordinate with us. It was annoying because we don't want to be disturbed while on vacation. It was only for 2 minutes but I have never experienced this in other properties.- pots and pans are a bit old but it's fine. Beggars can't be choosers. I am thankful there are utensils. - we only got 2 dishwasher soap and 1 detergent soap for a 6-night stay. They should be mindful. I think it makes sense to give more.- There's a camera for back patio but there is notice so it's fine.- There's free grill around the area in the yacht club. They should mention it as perk. It was awesome.

    Really great location and an easy walk to Michael Ellis Beach & Seawall which made morning walks the best!The condo pool was small, small for the community and typically crowded. However there was ample parking and really appreciated having one and a half baths.

    The property was very clean and the communication was excellent! Wish it was walkable to the beach but you have to drive (though it’s a very short drive- 2 mins)

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great stay at Whale Hello There. Everything was clean and lovely. The pool is warm and well maintained (the kids’ absolutely favorite spot!) and close to the beach, just a few blocks away. I recommend getting a beach parking pass to make everything really easy if you’ve got kids / docs / circus. Check in and out was a breeze, nothing complicated or cumbersome. Will be coming back!!

    The house was great. It had everything you would need for a quick get away. The kids had a great time with the pool and the pier. The beach was a short drive or walk from the place. Overall it was great and we will be back.
