Reviewer Comments: Nice, due to mobility issues beach access at the rental was challenging. The height of the protective dunes, at the rental, blocks a view of the ocean. It was quiet at night. Accessible to shops and dining. Outdoor lighting and a parking space was provided. ##### Rich W.

May 22, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Whimsical Whale at Atlantic Beach Very tiny, no closet or dresser in the bedroom (although, there are storage baskets under the bed). We had to live out of our suitcase by moving it from the bed to the couch to sleep, and from the couch to the bed to relax during the day. There was no counter space in the bathroom. No screens that fit in the windows. Overall, we had a nice stay, just very tiny for the price. It was just my wife and I and I don't know how it would have handled 4 people as the ad says... ##### Michael T. Stayed 4 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathy S. Jun 27, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### We love staying at the Whimsical Whale! This was our second stay at the Whimsical Whale. We love the property, location and easy beach access. The property has anything you would need for the beach from ice packs, beach towels, coolers, chairs, etc. There is also a nice little patio on the back with lights to enjoy the evening outside. The place is quite cozy (meaning small). Ideal for two, I think four adults might be a bit crowded. There is no ocean view from the property but we didn't really care too much about that since it is a short walk over the dunes to the beach. The kitchen is well appointed. If you bring your own food, it will have to go on the counter as all cabinets are stocked with kitchen ware. Plan to live out of your suitcase! Storage in the bedroom consists of a few hangers and two drawers of a small night stand. Overall, you will definitely enjoy your stay here! ##### Kathy S. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jul 31, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great little beach place! We loved our stay here. It's definitely not big, but it's a perfect size for two. Just a short walk over the dunes to the beach, and the private patio out back is a great breezy spot to enjoy morning coffee or an evening cocktail (plus the outdoor shower is awesome when you get back from the beach). Everything was clean and ready for our arrival, and when a couple of issues arose (owing in both cases to beach air and metal being natural enemies), the host was readily available to address them quickly. Short walk to numerous restaurants/bars as well. Overall, we loved it and would definitely come back again. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### John O., Hendersonville Jul 8, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The Art of Decorating Whimsical Whale is the bottom unit of three story property, and the owners have done everything in their power to make guests feel like they are not staying in a basement. Beautifully decorated throughout the unit with lots of thoughtful touches. Great kitchen, living room, small bedroom and bathroom. I found the bed uncomfortable, but that's probably just me, prefer a hard mattress. We did have trouble with the Wi-Fi, the instructions in the unit were confusing, but we got it worked out. Beach access is a little challenging, but my wife and I are older. And finally like any bottom unit, it tends to be dark but not damp thanks to a large dehumidifier. We probably wouldn't rent this unit again, but all in all it is beautifully appointed property just steps from the beach. It could be your cup of tea. ##### John O.

Property is as described. It is small but has everything you will need. They provided beach chairs, beach towels, all linens, even shampoo, conditioner and hair dryer. We loved sitting outside in our own private patio. We were thankful for the shimbumi beach shade. We love the beach but the NC sun gets hot! Whimsical Whale is decorated beautifully and very organized. A/C cranks, loved having washer and dryer. We would definitely stay again. ##### Ann M.

The hosts really cares to make a great impression! The place was spotless clean, modern and for sure gives a Carolina vibe. They ensured that all was ready for our arrival and emphasized that they were available if we needed anything during our stay. Beautifully designed, decorated and maintained with so many thoughtful touches, we wanted for nothing. My husband and I felt comfortable and "at home" the minute we stepped in the door. It was everything you could want, with the beach mere steps away. My husband and I will definitely be back!! ##### Dianna T. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathy S. Aug 10, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful getaway! Other than a glitch with our check-in (managed by property mgt company) we had a wonderful getaway at the Whimsical Whale. Small but perfect! Private beach access. Beach is not crowded at all at this location! Anything you need for your beach getaway is provided - towels, coolers, shibumi shade (we loved this!), etc. Kitchen is very well equipped with anything you need. Close to several good restaurants. We recommend the Island Grill and Table 9\. We had a couple things that needed to be fixed while we were there and the owner took care of them immediately. I would definitely return to this location! We had a great time. ##### Kathy S. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Donald V., Hillsborough Aug 1, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A perfect little hideaway at the beach We were delighted with Whimsical Whale II - it was perfect for the two of us, and for our son and his gf to stay with us for a day at the beach. Every little thing has been thought of, and there’s not a bit of wasted space. ##### Donald V.
