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.

Nancy was a fantastic host. The guest information pack she provided was great for helping us plan our trip and very insightful. The Whalehouse was definitely the highlight of our visit to Canada. The property was clean, well stocked and even better than it looks in the pictures. We would 100% stay here again whenever we visit Vancouver Island.

As part of our recent family retreat in Port McNeill, we stayed at The Whale House. A beautiful home right on the water facing Malcolm Island. Spacious open vistas, great meeting space on the deck to talk about the today’s events. Walks along the beach when the tide is out. All set deep in the woods. Absolutely wonderful.

Spacious property with room for all. Great location with lots of wildlife. Peaceful sunset evenings on the deck were magical. Port McNeil a friendly little town with all amenities you need. Would love to go back
