We really enjoyed our stay! The house was very well kept, with a really nice open common area on the top floor. The entrance to the beach was about 100 yards from the driveway, so it was just a couple minutes walking to get out to the beach. The town had a few small grocery stores within 5 minutes driving, which had most of what you'd need for a week stay (including a good beer and wine selection). All in all, we had a great time and would definitely recommend this place! Thanks! ##### Richard S.

This house was simply wonderful for our family. The house was clean, simple check in and check out instructions. We were on a very nice street with the beach within walking distance. There are local shops and restaurants near by. We just simply loved our vacation there. The only thing I would ask to change would be to put out enough toilet paper for a family of 7. As side from that minor detail, it was just wonderful! :) ##### Liana A. ### 8/10 Good #### Christina F. Sep 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Just what we needed The house was just what we needed! The beds are a little smaller than expected, but if I had read more closely when booking I would have noticed the sizes. We loved the nook upstairs and the stained glass windows. Kitchen is clean and pretty well stocked with whatever you may need to cook. There did appear to be an ant problem, but only on top of the fridge. Beach access is close-the closest access is very steep, but luckily there are more access points just a little further down the street that aren’t as steep. There’s a little backyard space perfect for walking your dog if you brought them. Hot tub was lovely to relax in each night. Something to be aware of-this rental is through Vacasa, which wasn’t the best experience. They expected me to do the brunt of cleaning before departing, which felt wrong considering there’s a cleaning fee when booking. They also didn’t wait for us to leave the house before sending over someone to clean the hot tub. It was very startling to look outside the bedroom and see someone I didn’t know on the deck right there, and we were then blocked in by their vehicle. It was a bummer to end vacation on such a note. ##### Christina F.

The hot tub was clean and ready to go. Kitchen had plenty to offer. There was a back yard for the dogs to use. The only drawback was the house is completely carpeted which traps other dogs odors. We would definitely stay here again though. ##### Gwen S. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Sean T.

Aug 2, 2021 #### Great location, lovely house This was our second stay at Whale Song, and it was just as good as the first. The location is perfect - just on Hatteras Island and near a relatively quiet beach. We didn't need to venture any more than two miles in either direction to get everything we needed for a week. The house is about 30 yards from a beach access walkway over the dunes. We love the layout, with a large living/dining area upstairs and tons of comfy seating. The bedrooms are smallish, but that's not a big deal. Hot tub is a nice addition and a great spot to relax under the cover of the top deck. Decks all around the house on second and third levels mean there's always shade or sun somewhere, and people can spread out. Only downsides: master bathroom and shower are tiny, the kitchen table only seats four (maybe five) people, and there's no pantry and not much room in kitchen cabinets for food. Also, be warned: The trek over the dunes to the beach (and back) can be a challenge on hot sand. There's no wooden walkway to help you with your footing, and the hill is quite steep. ##### Bruce P. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Amy O. Jul 28, 2021 #### Convenient Family home We've stayed at this house two years in a row and love it's convenience to the beach and how quiet it is (there are so many stars to see at night). The kitchen is fully stocked and housekeeping does a good job cleaning everything including the hot tub (we saw them after leaving and going to the beach to avoid the traffic). The house does need an update though. The carpeting is getting smelly from the humidity and we even had a visit from a..... water bug in one bedroom. ##### Amy O.

Aug 30, 2020 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Great location, nice home Whale Song is in a great location - in Waves, which is not as far south as Hatteras - and less than 25 yards from the pathway to the beach. (Note: path to the beach does require a rather steep climb over a sandy dune.) Beach here is not crowded. A general store and a couple of restaurants are just a short drive away. Note the closest real grocery store is in Avon, though - about 25 minutes away. Home is a typical beach cottage - very small bedrooms and bathrooms, although bathrooms appear to have been updated. However, the upstairs family/living/dining/kitchen area is spacious and the vaulted ceiling makes it seem even bigger. There's plenty of comfortable seating for everyone. Hot tub on the second level deck is shaded from the sun, which is nice, and small table on deck outside the kitchen is a nice place to eat dinner outside in the shade. Biggest issue we had was ants in the kitchen, which despite three phone calls to Hatteras Realty, was not treated during our stay. Lots of crumbs were left on kitchen floor and in toaster. (Note: while this is on VRBO, you will be dealing with Hatteras Realty once you make a reservation.) Kitchen also doesn't have a pantry or anywhere to put food. Too many kitchen supplies take up too much space in the cabinets - not sure anyone's going to make a bundt cake on vacation! Overall, highly recommend the location and the home, but don't recommend the property manager. ##### Bruce P. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### L.

Rental agreement wasn’t clear about the property having a gas grill... Rule #7- renter can only use the gas grill provided by owner which would lead one to think that a gas grill was at the property....Blown circuits the first day, air conditioning problems the second day... Realty company was very good about fixing the problems though ... maybe lighted candles on the bottom level to combat the mosquitos and even cut the knee high grass ... ##### Valarie B. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Tiffany C. Aug 8, 2019 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Enjoyable We enjoyed our stay although the refrigerator and freezer had a really bad odor which made our food we bought smell. Smelled like someone had unplugged the fridge and left the doors closed for awhile. Supposed to leave doors open if fridge is unplugged. ##### Tiffany C.

Only con is there were ants on the top floor the next day after we occupied the house. We were sure to keep the kitchen clean, but if some food was left out more than an 30mins, there were ants. ##### Jacob D.
