This house easily accommodates large families with children and grandchildren (giving everyone their own rooms and bathrooms. Beach access is directly across the street and outside showers are very convenient as well. The private swimming pool without walkout access is great with small children. This house is updated and comfortable! A great find!

Beautiful home with loads of amenities. So close to beach. However, be aware of all the stairs! Thankful for elevator which made all the difference

We had a family gathering over Easter Break. This was our first time on Ocean Isle Beach. The Wishing Whale was the perfect place for us! The heated pool was great—the kids had a blast! It is a beautiful place and we’ll stocked with all the things needed to prepare meals, play games or just relax. It was a real treat to stay there!

Wishing Whale was a wonderful place for our group of 9. It had everything we could need. Each bedroom had its own bath which was great. Loved the decor. The owner was easy to communicate with. Only complaint was that the pool never got warm enough until the day before we were leaving. Would rent again.

Very nice property that 11 people can comfortably use. Refrigerator is low capacity for a rental of this size. Fireplace was a big plus in the mornings. Elevator worked flawlessly. This is our second Thanksgiving here.
