About this house rental

Enjoy my upscale, 3.8 acre waterfront, 4000 square foot, secluded, but accessible home. There are 22 skylights in my beautiful custom built home, including a very large skylight over the master bed. Imagine stargazing from the comfort of your own bed and you don't even need to change out of your pajamas!!! There are also two skylights in the twin bedroom bedroom as well, and many scattered throughout the entire first floor.

Enjoy the master bedroom which is on entry the level with king size bed with water view and ocean sounds and ensuite bathroom with walk in shower and private toilet area. Entry level also includes a large family room with picturesque windows, an oversized kitchen, laundry room, ocean view bedroom/office work station, with 2 twin beds, half bathroom, and large outdoor oceanfront deck wit that is perfect for grilling or just relaxing.

While on the deck, perhaps you’ll see a bald eagle, deer, elk, bear, white sided dolphins, whales and more. They’re definitely around!! You just have to be lucky to see them at the right moment!!!

Downstairs has a large TV/family room with professional grade pool table and two separate bedrooms (queen size beds) and one private full bathroom with step over tub/shower. Downstairs windows are at ground level so you'll often see wildlife strolling by or peering in at you. :)

We have WI FI, 2 TV’s- downstairs and in the master bedroom, and your cell phone should work fine (but depends on your cell phone carrier.)

Catch dungeness crab right off the beach out back. Beach is accessible from the backyard. Beach is rocky at high tide. At low tide rocky beach to get to sandy beach.

Town is about an easy 5-7 minute drive away.

Prices subject to change and are in USD by default. per VRBO.

    The Whale House gave us luxury and wilderness. We explored; we sat and looked at the sea; we ate fresh halibut and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Our host, Nancy, could not have been nicer, offering advice and ideas as well as the lovely property to stay in. Highly recommended. Thank you, Nancy, for a perfect stay.

    This beautiful, clean and comfortable home is the perfect place to enjoy an endless show of wildlife, changing tides, great views, and incredible sea life. It’s perfectly isolated from noise and light, but close to the many activities offered in the area. The host is very helpful and communicative, and the house has everything you need to enjoy crabbing, fishing, and relaxing in the jacuzzi while watching the resident eagle. The large and abundant windows provide views of the show wherever you are in the house. We stayed 5 nights and should have stayed longer. We highly recommend!

    The host was very easy to communicate with and did their best to ensure our stay was perfect. House is amazing with incredible views. Comes fully stocked with everything you need to be a home away from home. House and property are beautiful and spacious allowing for privacy if required. Great place for 4 couples or coworkers to stay comfortably.

    We stayed 4 nights in the WhaleHouse at the end of August, it was beyond our expectations! Nancy was very thoughtful and responsive. I have never received an information package from other rentals as detailed and helpful as Nancy’s. The house was clean, tastefully decorated, the beds were comfortable and the water view was amazing. We saw bald eagles nesting on the tree out of the window, deers on the lawn, no whales and bears though. We will definitely return to WhaleHouse again when we visit the area next time - hopefully we will see the bears and whales then 😊. Thank you Nancy.
