If the Whalers Cottage isn’t the definition of the word “CHILL!”, then I don’t know what else it could be! The soothing sounds of the ocean, crackling fireplace and solitude are outstanding and re-energizing! A fantastic place to come and decompress for couples or the family! My fav moments are when I’d bring my book out with a glass of wine and sit in the bench between the pines overlooking the ocean waves crashing ashore a mere 20 yards away! Always painful to leave such a magical place! Our second time and we will assuredly be back! Cheers! The Kisabeth Family Napa, CA ##### Tom K.

This cottage is literally steps from the beach and the trails. The owners are extremely fast to respond, The owners clearly spent a great deal of time leaving us notes on the cottage and their preferences, toiletries for our stay, welcome wine, etc. The cottage was as described and had everything we could possibly need: games, fully equipped kitchen, toiletries, binoculars, special dog towels (love this idea and that they were clearly marked - thank you!), wood, etc…. There were no hassles no complications. Absolutely fabulous week - thank you Sara and Patrick. Clearly very thoughtful owners. ##### Saskia M.

We have stayed at the cottages twice now and will be back as often as possible. Most reviews are about amenities and things to do nearby...the cottages have just about everything you need however we never wanted to leave (so I'm not going to provide any nearby amenities info). BBQ'ing, walking the beach or on the trails, fires in the fireplace (and on the beach), and watching the abundant ocean wildlife was plenty for our vacation. The Whisler family are wonderful to work with and responded quickly to our questions/requests. My only hesitation in writing this review is that others will learn about this amazing place and the availability will be reduced! We are looking forward to staying there again in the future and will be bringing more family and friends to share in the experience!

The ocean views,the comfortable cottage,the walking trail close by,the large expansive lawn to just sit back and relax and absorb all the beauty! What more can I say? My husband and I have lived and traveled all over the world and this spot is on our top 10 list of glorious places! The owners,Patrick and Sara are just the best. They are always available to help make your whole trip fantastic in every way. I have already booked for next year. Many thanks from," the birthday girl",aka Maryellen. ##### Paul and Maryellen R. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy H., Orange, United States Jun 1, 2018 #### Most Relaxing Vacation Of Your Life Staying in the Whalers Cottage was a joy! The cottage was a mixture of historic touches and modern conveniences. It was comfortable and well-stocked with plenty of windows facing the backyard and ocean. We had visits every day from rabbits, herons, quail, hawks, dolphins, and sea otters. The beach was just steps from the backyard but the trees give you a sense of privacy from the public. You are located just a few minutes from the gorgeous Point Lobos Reserve as well as close to other popular locations like the 17 mile drive, Monterey Bay Aquarium, Elkhorn Slough, Bixby Bridge, and whale watching. But you could spend your entire vacation just sitting on the beach or backyard with binoculars in hand, experiencing the most relaxing vacation of your life. If you have not fallen asleep to the sound of ocean waves, then you need to book this cottage at once. ##### Amy H. Stayed 6 nights in May 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Jill M. Aug 22, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Incredible location! The location is unbeatable, close to shopping Carmel village and numerous restaurants and galleries. Great walking trails overlooking the bluffs were a nice plus. The beach is not safe for swimming though but there are others close by. The house is comfortable; but the rules are onerous. For all the expectations for the care of the property, we were surprised to find very dirty carpet and worn furniture. Pets are limited to certain areas of the house which should be noted upfront. (Not truly pet friendly.) The kitchen is very well equiped and lots of space. If you are looking for the best views and a peaceful environment, you will not be disappointed. The master bedroom view is absolutely spectacular. We saw a family of deer and a coyote too. Has a wonderful time! ##### Jill M.
