Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richie M. May 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The Perfect House The property is beautiful and seemed as if we were the first to even stay in it. The view of the bay is phenomenal and it is close to everything downtown. We did not have kids with our party but the bunk rooms are set up perfectly for multiple familes with kids. We will be staying here again when return to the area. ##### Richie M. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carrie D. May 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect for larger groups We loved our stay at Whispering Waves! One of the best stocked rentals for amenities we've encountered yet! The view of the water was wonderful and for our 4th CK visit was it's usual relaxing vacation. First time visiting friends of ours also loved the house & the area. The place was very clean, comfortable as well as lovely. Just make sure you are traveling with someone who can lug heavy coolers / luggage up lots of stairs. ##### Carrie D.
