Mar 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Winter getaway We had a wonderful stay at the great whale cottage! Location right on front street, so we were able to walk either way and have great nature views. The place was very clean. We had a small issue come up with the dishwasher, and they got someone out right away to fix it. Great communication. Thank you! ##### Candace H. Stayed 43 nights in Feb 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### James D. Jun 26, 2024 Liked: Check-in, listing accuracy #### Disappointing for sure The place was clean and nicely remodeled, but 2 out of 3 TV’s didn’t work - only in MB. Big bugs in kitchen and on us in the master bedroom at night.. not good. No curtains on the street side windows? Location For the price and issues mentioned I would have expected better. Beaufort and the adventurous activities are great. We will come back just not sure it will be in this rental. No happy. ##### James D.
