We came for the Romance and Jazz and were treated to an early check in so we could enjoy the private ( almost ). We were met at the door with out first glass of wine. ( The first of many ). The meal was hand prepared all natural with vegan and meat. The local wine was so-so, but I had brought a bottlet of Wenth Nth Degree.. Absolutely magical two days. Katherine and Cal

We've stayed at Whale Watch for a number of years. Each time is better than the last. We love all the little touches provided, the privacy, comfort and seclusion. Thank you for making our stay so lovely.
4.0 out of 5A Very Nice Get Away
April 06, 2013
A spectacular location and view from room. A great location to base a weekend from. Reserved room had hot water problems they us upgraded to the bath suite at no additional charge.....nice! Rooms are a bit dated style-wise, but in very good condition. Breakfast is really good and is brought to your room. Stayed two nights and we would go back. Saw whales on third day!
4.6 out of 5Good food, excellent location
April 03, 2013
This place is absolutely fantastic. We loved the comfy old age decor and the quietness of the surroundings, the sound of the ocean and the wonderful breakfast. The staff was super duper helpful, except this one lady who constantly tried to make things non-ideal. We had an excellent get-away. This is a must visit.
