We were blessed to snap up a last minute cancelation at Whale of a View cottage. It was our first time staying on Campobello and we were not disappointed. While the cabin hasnt been updated recently it is clean and comfortable. The kids loved the bunkbeds, tire swing and hammock. We all enjoyed the screened porched and smores around the fire pit. Even though it was cool my wife enjoyed the quiet solitude of the Eagles Nest gazebo for morning devotions. We had two separate whale sightings and the kids loved watching the boat traffic. Dennis checked on us briefly upon our arrival and I had a great chat before we left. We will be back at some point and will definitely reccomend to others.

We loved this quaint cabin setting right on the water on Campobello Island. The owner was so easy to work with and the description on VRBO was spot on. The cabin was spotless and stocked very well with the basics we needed. If ever in the area again we will definitely stay at Wilson Beach!!

Once again Campobello Island did not disappoint! We have been here several times now and love it, especially the Whale of a View cottage! It is the perfect getaway for us - beautiful evenings on the deck, mornings too! It is our happy place, we simply love it there :) Dennis and Margaret are wonderful hosts.

This place is lovely, and it more that lives up to the name Whale of a View. If you’re looking for a peaceful quiet getaway, look no further. The screened porch (a rarity in the area for some reason) really extends the living space and was where we spent much of our time and where we are all of our meals. We had perfect weather and saw so many whales. The bed was super comfortable, the water piping hot, and having laundry machines was a great plus for our three week stay. We’d definitely stay here again.
