We sincerely enjoyed our recent stay at the "Whale House" at NSB. The layout of multiple sleeping options and the wide open, comfortable common area was perfect for our large family, week long celebration. Additionally, the provisions were even better then explained or expected. Finally, the host was incredibly caring, responsive and understanding of the needs of our perfect stay. Initially, I was slightly hesitant due to what I felt was a high expense, but once there, with the comfort, provisions, beautiful large outdoor back porch, literally stepping onto the sands of the beach - it was worth every penny and perfectly priced! Several previous reviews noted slightly outdated areas of the home and/or older furnishings/appliances. We actually found this comforting and slight. We felt we could relax and enjoy an "at home" leisurely comfortable stay and focus on each other instead of a stuffy environment. All 13 of us - from the age of 2 to 64 - had a wonderful time and never felt "on top of each other". Several had to come and go throughout the week and found it a joy to return. I highly recommend this home for it is very comfortable, spread out, quiet and perfectly located.

First, the house is on the beach so that we can wake up to sunrise every morning.Second, the house is large enough that the 11 of us can be together in the main room and kitchen area, or we can have sufficient space for time alone in the large, well-furnished bedrooms.
