    Wonderful property with an amazing yard and a basement with foosball, ping pong, air hockey, plus a million toys for the kids. We had a great stay and our hosts were communicative and friendly. Would stay at the property again for sure!

    Property was just as described. Plenty of room, lots to do. Location was perfect for us. Quiet neighborhood. We visited four beaches, the rail trail, golfed, dined, all within easy 30 min drive. Basement air hockey table was a big hit. Basement was not clean, but kids didn’t mind .Yard was great, enjoyed outdoor dining. Outdoor shower is a garden hose, but is perfect for rinsing sandy bodies! Communication was difficult at best. VRBO staff was big help just prior to stay, communication problems solved. Highly recommend a visit to Chatham and stay at the Whale House

    This house has everything a family could possibly need, is in a great location and was super relaxing and cozy. There’s so much outside space to enjoy and having two bedrooms upstairs and two downstairs is perfect for two smaller families. The home is a bit older and could use some updating but overall was a great place to enjoy the cape.

    Overall the property was good - Had plenty of room, the outdoor space was nice with good amenities. Kitchen area is small but functional. When we arrived it was very hot (83) and took a long time to cool down, and the basement, while it has some decent games, is pretty dingy.

    Arielle was a great host. She was very responsive to any of my questions or concerns. The house was very comfortable for the six adults who stayed there. The location was very convenient to the local Chatham area of shops and restaurants.

    We had a terrific time during our stay at the Whale House. It had everything we needed. The back deck and fire pit were especially great.

    Our family of 5 (3 teens/young adults, 2 adults) enjoyed a week in Chatham at the Whale House. Plenty of room for all of us to spread out, with a large living room and 4 good sized bedrooms. Great outdoor space with large deck and backyard to play cornhole. Games in (unfinished) basement are fun, plus tons of books to read during your vacation. Central AC worked well during a heat wave. The owners were very responsive. Only negatives are that the kitchen and baths are small and dated (very little counter space for meal prep). While the immediate neighborhood is quiet and great for walks, the roads into town are too busy for comfortable biking.
