Whalehouse Waterfront Haven w/ Boat Launch, Fireplaces & Large Deck

Whalehouse

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Perched on the shores of Port Susan, Whalehouse is a gorgeous waterfront 4BR/3BA home with fresh renovations and plenty of space for large family gatherings. Take in sweeping water views from the deck or the window-lined living room, where a gas fireplace adds a cozy touch. Wake to views of the waves in a private master suite, outfitted with another gas fireplace.

Tie up your boat to the private mooring anchor or set sail via your private boat launch. A wood-burning fire pit awaits when you come back in from the water.

LIVING AREA

Open beam ceilings create an inviting ambience in the open-concept living area, where tall windows showcase lovely views of Port Susan. Settle in on a plush sofa and love seat to watch your favorite shows on the 46 TV.

The gas fireplace brings a warm touch to cool nights.

KITCHEN & DINING

Tap into your culinary side in a high-end kitchen, complete with all the cookware and gadgets you may need. A full suite of stainless steel appliances includes a side-by-side fridge, French-door oven, and a gas range.

Four can keep the chef company at the glossy kitchen island. When its time to eat, share home-cooked meals at two dining tables -- one seats four, and the other seats six.

BED & BATH

This two-story home sleeps 14 guests in four bedrooms.

The master suite is a private sanctuary with towering windows overlooking the water. Sleep soundly on a king-size bed, or curl up in a comfy sitting area complete with a gas fireplace and 46 TV. The en-suite master bathroom is outfitted with a sparkling tub/shower combination.

The second bedroom has two twin-over-full bunk beds. The third bedroom is also furnished with two twin-over-full bunk beds. A fourth bedroom has a twin-over-twin bunk bed and a twin-over-full bunk.

Theres plenty of space to refresh in two pristine guest bathrooms. One is appointed with a walk-in shower, and another has a tub/shower combination.

OUTDOOR AREAS

Listen to the waves roll in on the spacious waterfront deck, where theres plenty of outdoor furniture and built-in bench seating. Fire up the gas grill and host a sunset cookout. A wood-burning firepit sets the scene for starlit smores after a day on the water.

The boaters in your group will appreciate the private on-site launch -- simply back in from the driveway. (This property does not have a boat dock; however, a private mooring anchor can be found directly in front of the home.)

EXTRA AMENITIES & MORE DETAILS

Guest amenities include complimentary Wi-Fi and a washer/dryer. There is parking for up to four cars in the gravel driveway, which doubles as a launch for smaller boats.

Although this home does not have central air, three of the bedrooms have wall-mounted air-conditioning units.

Beautiful place with lots of room

We loved being right on the water. There were amble chairs on the deck for hanging out and in the living area for meals. So many beds gave us lots of flexibility for sleeping arrangements. The house is stocked with detergent, garbage bags etc (updated from earlier reviews where it noted they only provided 1 or 2.)

Tremendous find!

We wanted a place where family could hang out during a wedding weekend. The Whalehouse exceeded our expectations. Right on the beach so we could walk at low tide, the kids could hunt shells and skip rocks. Birds, seals and sealions provided more entertainment. When the wind kicked up, the tide came in and the white caps started rolling, huge driftwood logs paraded by. With a good grill and a well equipped kitchen, you just add people, food and beverages and relax!

Great house

Location was amazing--I saw a ton of wildlife in the water. House is spacious and clean. Note to renters: The coffee filters (and spices, etc.) are in the closet by the dining table, not in the kitchen. That took me a few minutes to find. I would absolutely rent this house again.

Whalehouse is a great find

No-bank waterfront is rare, and the deck and patio right on the water take perfect advantage of it. We were delighted to find that there are now plenty of deck chairs. The living areas are very comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked, and the upstairs suite is palatial! (Too bad the other rooms are so pokey by comparison.) Our group of six was very comfortable and we found the cost quite reasonable for a place right on the water.

Nice stay!

The property is very well maintained and clean. The mattress of bunk beds are however a little wonky. It would also be nice if we didn't have to get our coffee. Otherwise, we had a great time there and the beach and view is great!

Whalehouse

Would have given it a 5 but you really need to have some sort of blinds on the master bedroom. Neighbors can see right in and a bright sun at 5 in the morning. Saw lots of sea animals. Kids enjoyed the beach and such a lovely view.

Didn’t want to leave!!

This home was so cozy and calming! We had the best experience and made some amazing memories, we didn’t want to leave!! The views were spectacular and the kitchen and dining spaces were perfect for family dinners. So many things to do in the area we wish we stayed longer to do them all. Book this house!! You won’t regret it!

Fabulous views and great location

We loved the location, the views, the abundance of beds (none of us had to use a top bunk) and three bathrooms! Wish the master had blinds. Had issues with the kitchen and have provided feedback to property manager/owner. Biggest issues were the mold in refrigerator water dispenser tube and jetted tub (master bath) intake/filter. Wishes for more hand towels and washcloths and better dish soap in kitchen. Also unscented hand soap for bathrooms would be nice for those of us with allergies. We enjoyed being together, the two tables in the kitchen/dining areas and cooking great meals to share. Enjoyed walking the beach, the views, and the space to be together. Some found a pickleball court to play on and a wine tasting event to attend nearby.

Cozy outlook amid stormy waters

private, hidden community of longtime beach homes. Beautiful floor-to-ceiling views of the wind-whipped waves. Not enough beach to walk along, due to the king tides and nighttime low tides. House is fine for kids and adults, with a decent kitchen and a huge master suite upstairs.

This vacation rental is absolutely perfect! So many beds for people to sleep in! Great for a family reunion etc! Super clean and couldn't have a better location! Gorgeous views. Saw dolphins, lots of salmon jumping out of the water, and a couple seals. Kitchen is amazing and has all kinds of dishes, cookware and even lots of spices. Thanks for a great place.

Fall retrest

House is situated right on the water. It was fine for our group of 10. However, it sleeps up to 14 but there is very limited parking, so plan accordingly. A bit more comfy seating would have been nice for a large group.
