Whale’s Tale was a delight on the beautiful quiet island of Man-o-War Cay. It was a 5 minute walk to the beach and a short walk to the harbor for us to hop on our boat everyday. The outdoor shower was our everyday shower which we loved and kept the cottage from getting Sandy. The best part, in my opinion was laying in the hammock every afternoon or as sunset, reading my novel and enjoying the sounds of the ocean and the birds that frequent the beautiful yard. I would happily stay here again! Thank you for helping us create our family memories! gettingsnady.

The Whales Tale was perfect for my husband and myself as well as our daughter and son-in-law! It basically has two master bedrooms; one has a separate entrance which allows for privacy. Also there was other space for additional people/kids that we did not use. The air conditioning was fantastic, back up generator turns on automatically, the deck was very comfortable and the location was a short walk to the beach. The owners were very communicative.

Nestled in the heart of Man O'War lies the charming residence known as Whale's Tale. Our family has been visiting MOW since the 1980s. We adored Whale's Tale. The dwelling is enveloped in luxuriant landscapes filled with lush flowering greens, bougainvillea, and hibiscus. Each day, we engaged in our yoga practice or immersed ourselves in reading while swaying gently in the hammock on the front veranda. The abode boasts two queen beds and a smaller twin, each accompanied by its own recently renovated and beautifully decorated bathroom. The kitchen is well-appointed, perfectly meeting our culinary needs. Whale's Tale is tastefully adorned in soothing shades of blues and greens reminiscent of the sea glass scattered along the shoreline. It proved to be the idyllic retreat for our family's vacation.

This Whale Tale property is a slice of paradise. Beautifully furnished and the garden property 500 feet from a gorgeous beach is so wonderful as a home base for adventuring the island. Hosts were very responsive and we felt we got more than we expected with the amazing island home and experience. Will absolutely stay here again.

We stayed at this property in November of 2023. The property has a bedroom inside with one twin bed and a larger bed, as well as another bedroom accessible by the porch. It worked very well for a family with younger teenagers. The property has an amazing covered porch which is where we spent most of our time. The kitchen is well stocked for a small space - nice open concept space into the living room. A very quick walk to the ocean and short walk to the settlement. Caretakers and owner were very responsive.

We stayed at Whale's Tale Cottage in the beginning of June. We selected it because it was advertised as a 3 bedroom home. When we arrived we were disappointed to find that the 3rd "bedroom" was simply a twin bed crammed into a non air-conditioned laundry room. No one was able to sleep there. There was no breeze and the room was never cooler than 85 degrees. Additionally, we came by boat and asked several times for directions to the dock. We were finally able to get GPS coordinates, but the approaching channel is not well marked and there was no fresh water at the dock. We were excited to have a golf cart offered to us, but we were hesitant to go down many of the beach access roads because the brakes were nearly ineffective. The home was in a good location near a beautiful beach that allowed our kiddos to collect a lot of sea glass. It was also nice to have a washer and dryer. Whale's Tale Cottage was not as advertised.
