Great for our large family

I don't normally write reviews. This house was simply wonderful for our family. The house was clean, simple check in and check out instructions. We were on a very nice street with the beach within walking distance. There are local shops and restaurants near by. We just simply loved our vacation there. The only thing I would ask to change would be to put out enough toilet paper for a family of 7. As side from that minor detail, it was just wonderful! :)

Its ok

There is mold on the ceiling, paint peeling, rock hard beds, moldy shower curtains, dusty furniture, and dirty dishes. It was easy to find, but far away from all shopping and restaurants. And the hill on the public access to the beach was so steep.

A house with everything

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this house so close to the beach with our family and dogs! The beach access was so convenient. The hot tub was clean and ready to go. Kitchen had plenty to offer. There was a back yard for the dogs to use. The only drawback was the house is completely carpeted which traps other dogs odors. We would definitely stay here again though.

Great location

Almost perfect quick trip. The layout fit our family perfectly. Quick walk to the beach. Well appointed kitchen. The mattresses could use an upgrade they are really firm. We also had issues with tiny ants in the kitchen so make sure you seal everything as there is no real pantry.

Could have been cleaner and had ants in kitchen, plus one shower drain was clogged that we fixed. Not bad place. Good location/proximity to beach! Multiple decks and hot tub were nice for enjoying outdoors!

Arrived to a filthy house with the door open and a bird inside. Food was still in the refrigerator. After repeated calls to management, we received little help. Had one clean towel for six people. Horrible experience!

Family Vacation

Listing was very accurate. Home was pretty clean. Kitchen well stocked, nice outdoor shower snd close to beach. Dunes were extremely steep and hot!! Nothing rondo in area (we were informed). Also I suggest everyone shop prior to getting to Waves. Not supermarkets within 30 minutes. Also, the markets that are there run out of stock quickly!

Great location, lovely house

This was our second stay at Whale Song, and it was just as good as the first. The location is perfect - just on Hatteras Island and near a relatively quiet beach. We didn't need to venture any more than two miles in either direction to get everything we needed for a week. The house is about 30 yards from a beach access walkway over the dunes. We love the layout, with a large living/dining area upstairs and tons of comfy seating. The bedrooms are smallish, but that's not a big deal. Hot tub is a nice addition and a great spot to relax under the cover of the top deck. Decks all around the house on second and third levels mean there's always shade or sun somewhere, and people can spread out. Only downsides: master bathroom and shower are tiny, the kitchen table only seats four (maybe five) people, and there's no pantry and not much room in kitchen cabinets for food. Also, be warned: The trek over the dunes to the beach (and back) can be a challenge on hot sand. There's no wooden walkway to help you with your footing, and the hill is quite steep.

Convenient Family home

We've stayed at this house two years in a row and love it's convenience to the beach and how quiet it is (there are so many stars to see at night). The kitchen is fully stocked and housekeeping does a good job cleaning everything including the hot tub (we saw them after leaving and going to the beach to avoid the traffic). The house does need an update though. The carpeting is getting smelly from the humidity and we even had a visit from a..... water bug in one bedroom.

Great location, nice home

Whale Song is in a great location - in Waves, which is not as far south as Hatteras - and less than 25 yards from the pathway to the beach. (Note: path to the beach does require a rather steep climb over a sandy dune.) Beach here is not crowded. A general store and a couple of restaurants are just a short drive away. Note the closest real grocery store is in Avon, though - about 25 minutes away. Home is a typical beach cottage - very small bedrooms and bathrooms, although bathrooms appear to have been updated. However, the upstairs family/living/dining/kitchen area is spacious and the vaulted ceiling makes it seem even bigger. There's plenty of comfortable seating for everyone. Hot tub on the second level deck is shaded from the sun, which is nice, and small table on deck outside the kitchen is a nice place to eat dinner outside in the shade. Biggest issue we had was ants in the kitchen, which despite three phone calls to Hatteras Realty, was not treated during our stay. Lots of crumbs were left on kitchen floor and in toaster. (Note: while this is on VRBO, you will be dealing with Hatteras Realty once you make a reservation.) Kitchen also doesn't have a pantry or anywhere to put food. Too many kitchen supplies take up too much space in the cabinets - not sure anyone's going to make a bundt cake on vacation! Overall, highly recommend the location and the home, but don't recommend the property manager.

Great property but repetitive inconsistencies in check-in/ check-out, dirty unit, and finally gaining e-check-in only to begin getting booted- out at 9am day of departure.....totally against the contract. whats worse, money hungry, unresolving staff...sad.

First time renter.. we had a few problems ...

Rental agreement wasn’t clear about the property having a gas grill... Rule #7- renter can only use the gas grill provided by owner which would lead one to think that a gas grill was at the property....Blown circuits the first day, air conditioning problems the second day... Realty company was very good about fixing the problems though ... maybe lighted candles on the bottom level to combat the mosquitos and even cut the knee high grass ...

Enjoyable

We enjoyed our stay although the refrigerator and freezer had a really bad odor which made our food we bought smell. Smelled like someone had unplugged the fridge and left the doors closed for awhile. Supposed to leave doors open if fridge is unplugged.

Whale song stay

Great location, house was perfect for our family and the rental process was easy. Only con is there were ants on the top floor the next day after we occupied the house. We were sure to keep the kitchen clean, but if some food was left out more than an 30mins, there were ants.

Great location, clean house, nice views ~ comfortable vacation spot! Nice deck for sun and stars!

I stayed here in late Sept / early Oct ~ the first floor has several bedrooms, all good size and 2 restrooms. The upstairs is a nice open floor plan w high ceilings, lots of windows and spacious kitchen. The deck off the upstairs level wraps around 3 sides of the house. Great for sun or stars. This is a very nice for a family, a couple or just a single person w their dog who wants to get away. Comfy furniture ~ very nice home.

Very nice house within easy walking distance to beach!

We really enjoyed our stay! The house was very well kept, with a really nice open common area on the top floor. The entrance to the beach was about 100 yards from the driveway, so it was just a couple minutes walking to get out to the beach. The town had a few small grocery stores within 5 minutes driving, which had most of what you'd need for a week stay (including a good beer and wine selection). All in all, we had a great time and would definitely recommend this place! Thanks!

Nice place and convenient to the ocean

We enjoyed our stay and the home we rented. We had a couple of exceptions, the fridge ice maker did not work which was a bit of a hassle and the upper deck furniture is very weathered and wobbly. We would have also enjoyed more comfortable couches. These were the only negatives from a nice vacation stay.

Whale Song was lovely

Whale song was a lovely home. I would have given 5 stars but the lot next door was a swamp, the bugs ate us up. The house it's self was simply but tastefully furnished. It was a short walk to the beach and the view from the top deck was decent. I wouldn't recommend this house for someone that has any physical or health concerns that you are not able to walk alot of stairs. Overall a great experience for our little family.

Beautiful home

Beautiful home, close to the beach. Beach access is less than 200 feet away. You are close enough to the beach to see it and hear the waves crashing without paying the ocean front price! The house offers great cookware and newer appliances as well as recent remodeling to the bathrooms. The only negative I had was that the cleaners left empty drink bottles under the furniture in the living room. I will recommend this house to anyone looking for a place to have a great vacation stay!
