Hurricane wedding

We absolutely loved the house! It accommodated all of our guests so well and had plenty of room! We had some issues with the elevator which was medically necessary for some of our guests but every time we called they were able to get it fixed! I do think the amount of towels and hand towels was not nearly enough for the size of the house, there were lots of people who either didn’t get towels in their room or had no washcloths. The only other thing was the cleanliness of the home. The floors were not cleaned and there were stains on some of the rugs in the room and possible vomit in some of the showers on the walls. The backyard was everything and more. We had our wedding reception and it was absolutely beautiful! Again we had some issues with the pool lights but maintenance was able to fix it and had them on all night for us. Other than the cleaning and amount of towels everything else was perfect.

Great location, big house, great for kids.

The property is as advertised. It's large, has a great game room the kids enjoyed, large pool with a very large spa connected to the pool. It's literally a 5 min walk to the beach, just across the street. Limited access beach and we had 2 chairs reserved for us, brought lots more ourselves of course. We had 20 people in the house, several couples and kids and it worked great. It was over Labor Day weekend 2024 so a busy time of year. I do want to comment that while the house is well stocked with dishes and appliances, there were no basic condiments, not a huge issue, but usually we expect salt, pepper, some cooking oil etc. Not enough garbage bag, paper towels dish detergent, or dishwasher pods for a 20 person group, we had to buy some of our own. The fire pit did not work and the maintenance person they sent said it hasn't been working for some time. Disappointing as it was something we did want to use. The biggest challenge we had was the 'spam' the company kept sending. I don't mind getting offers for things I may want to use on the trip, but they sent that offer several times over email. When I opted out, they started sending them over VRBO. VRBO should block these types of messages. It was several per day at times leading up to our stay. Overall this is a great property, the management team communicated well, sent people out when needed. Location is awesome and we had a great time.

The location was the best part, house was nice/clean. A few little things in the house needed fixing but nothing to big. Would stay there again.

Family Reunion

The property is nice but lacked the work of keeping items in proper condition. We had several days when the elevator was not working, a bathroom sink leaking, an unclean grill, and old rusty bikes with flat tires. However, the property management team was quick to respond to these issues. In my opinion, if housekeeping was thoroughly checked before guests arrived, the entire stay would have been much better.

Family and Friend Getaway

Had a great experience at the Gray Whale. The property was great and had everything we needed. We were evacuated from Hurricane Ida so this was the perfect getaway.
