The house checked every box for our group. We had plenty of space and felt it was a great location. The hosts were very responsive and helpful to any request or question we had, too. I’d highly recommended this property if you’re looking to stay in the area.
5.0 / 5.0
Our family just returned from an amazing stay at Whale's Tale. We had high expectations and this place was even better than advertised.
This house is right across from a beach area that is uncrowded and offers room to spread out for fun in the sun.
This house had excellent outdoor space and a great yard. There are 2 large decks on the front with views to the beach side great for relaxing. There is also a large back deck with a large dining table overlooking the pool. The patio area has tons of seating and a gas fireplace. There was a nice grill, outdoor shower and beach storage area (stocked with everything you could need).
This house was amazing. The quality of the furniture, dishes, appliances, linens, etc. was really just leaps and bounds above what you would expect at rental. When they say just bring your suitcase they mean it. There were plenty of paper towels, toilet paper, detergent and everything else you could ask for from bath soap/shampoo to beach towels. They had true luxury touches like a coffee bar and charcuterie tray on arrival that really made this place feel different.
This is the cleanest and best kept VRBO I have ever stayed at. It was spotless and nothing was in disrepair.
The hosts were amazing. Easy to communicate with, attentive and seemed genuinely committed to ensuring that the guests had a good stay.
Whale's Tale sets the standard for a luxury vacation rental at North Myrtle.

I was lucky enough to see this listing back in January 2023 on Vrbo but then discovered I could book directly with Tom and Shelley. We were so excited to plan this trip and upon arrival the house was exactly as pictured in the listing. It is probably the best house we have ever booked in the last 10 years and we have done a lot of rentals. It was so nice after an 8 hour drive to have the snack board and water waiting for us. It also happened to be our 22nd anniversary the day we arrived and we were treated to some delicious bundt cakes! There is so much room in this house and to have every room with its own bathroom is phenomenal. The kitchen was well stocked when we wanted to cook. The beach access and beach amenities provided at the house were wonderful! We loved the pool and hot tub every day too! I could not recommend this house enough! We had an amazing week and would not hesitate to book again!

We've rented in the North Myrtle Beach area for years and this was by far one of the nicest homes we've had the pleasure of staying in! It was beautifully appointed and the all the amenities that were provided were much appreciated. Many happy memories were made!! Thanks again for sharing your home!

Accommodations and amenities were top notch. The family really enjoyed having a pool to themselves with the spacious and nicely furnished house. The extra amenities provide by the hosts were really appreciated.

This was our second year staying at this wonderful peaceful place. We made another round of memories and wished we could have stayed longer. The owners make us feel very welcome and everything is ready when you arrive. Always appreciate the little touches to make it a special vacation.

We had an amazing experience at Whales-Tale! The home was immaculate with comfortable rooms and a fully stocked kitchen. It was so nice to have beach umbrellas and chairs available for our use. Tom and Shelly were responsive, kind, and professional. Thank you for making our vacation so relaxing and memorable.

5.0 / 5.0
We had a wonderful stay with our family of 4 generations. There was something for everyone. The kitchen had everything we needed to fix great meals. Beds were super comfortable. So much so my mom wanted to take hers home. Our granddaughter loved the infinity table and she and Papaw played lots of games. Ping pong table was fun and having the pool and hot tub were a special addition. Best mother's day ive ever spent! Thanks!
5.0 / 5.0
This property exceeded all expectation! We planned a golf trip for 12-16 people and this was a perfect location. The booking process was very easy. The owners even reached out to us with some questions to make sure we were good with the number of rooms (there plenty of space here!) and save us from penalties for canceling the reservation, there are alot of owners out there that wouldn't mind just taking the money, these people looked out for us. We received several emails with check in information, attractions in the area, contact information, etc that made the relay of information to the large group very easy. The communication was always excellent, we had questions answered and anything we needed looked at they resolved immediately. Upon arrival there is even an elevator to help bring up luggage and groceries. The kitchen is beautiful and even has a big coffee and tea station with cups, machines, hot water, sugar, etc. The fridge is huge and easy to fill with everything for a long stay. All the bedrooms had attached bathrooms and everything looked brand new! The beds are all especially comfortable, you'll have a nice relaxing sleep at this place. There is a whole play room with a ping pong table, lawn games, and plenty of beach chairs and stuff for the beach. The pool is very well kept and the hot tub is nice and toasty. There is an outdoor grill and nice patio furniture around the outside. The property is a few minute walk from the beach entrance (right across the street)

We had a company training offsite and this was the perfect space! Plenty of beds and space to spread out for several people. We loved it and will be back again!
5.0 / 5.0
I must say; I really don’t want to spotlight this property - or give it the rave reviews it’s deserving because just like with anything… that’s worth having is worth waiting… and this is NOT what I want to do when trying to book this property again. The owners, are Amazing! The property, is truly as described… if NOT better! The homeowners attention to detail - and hospitality is amongst the best I have ever experienced. There is nothing in this house I would change… she has the best; the latest; and the most well appointed devices/appliances…. I left there thinking - she had to been watching every Home Improvement show there is when designing/decorating this house. The location, UNBELIEVABLE! The ocean is less than a 2 minute walk across the street and can be viewed from the front balconies of the home. However, due to the weather; we didn’t utilize the pool/spa however, they too are worthy of a 5 Star! I just can’t say enough… even the charcuterie board and welcome basket was another hostess's delight! Please, do not book this property if you are NOT deserving of the BEST life has to offer.

Our stay was comfortable, there was nothing that wasn’t in the home that made our stay comfortable.
5.0 / 5.0
Everything noted in the property description was spot on! Beautiful home with all the “extras” that make the rental a true 5* property. Everything was included: fully stocked kitchen to include kitchen supplies, spices, & paper products. Bedrooms and bathrooms were also stocked with electronic chargers, paper products, & grooming supplies. Bath, pool and beach towels were abundant. The grill was clean, & beach toys were fabulous (especially loved the wagon). Great location! The walk to the beach is less than 5 minutes and shopping is a 15 minute walk or 5 minute drive. Our adult children loved the abundance of outdoor and indoor games. Restaurants recommended on the property webpage also were spot on. We ate at 3 restaurants recommended and they were excellent. Thank you also for the special gifts provided. After the long drive, the charcuterie board, crackers and cold water was so thoughtful! Can’t say enough how fabulous our stay was. We’ve stayed at many rental properties over the years and this rates as our #1. We definitely will return! Thank you Whales Tale team!

This house was beautiful, very spacious, perfectly kept, pantries and cabinets stocked completely with everything you could possibly need for your whole time there, except, of course, your fresh groceries. So many modern amenities, an abundance of super cool things for the kids. Bikes and helmets for a ride to town or to the beach just across the street. Anything and everything you need for the beach, even the cart to get it there. The beach was clean and not crowded. A large pool for our party of 14, hot tub, fuel fire pit, bbq grill, outdoor games. Large back porch with furniture and large upper decks, with plenty of furniture, including a large table overlooking the pool area which we used for card games at night. Several boardwalk/carnival areas close by. The Luau at St. John’s Hotel 20 minutes away was wonderful, made the kids and adults very happy. The owners were kind and friendly, immediately responded to any question and were proactive in anticipating our every need. The whole gang agreed, this place was amazing.
A perfect vacation.

We’ve been coming to Myrtle for 20+ years and this property has been our favorite by far! The house is immaculate and the owners were very friendly and responsive throughout the entire process. They have definitely gone above and beyond to make their rental unique for families!
5.0 / 5.0
Cleanliness is a big deal for me and this one did not disappoint. It is obvious that the owners have spared nothing in making this home fully stocked, clean, and comfortable for guests during their stay. I honestly cannot think of anything that we needed during our stay that we did not find provided in the home. We have rented homes in this area most summers for the past 13-14 years or so. Every home that we've rented has been this same size and price range (give or take). This home provided way more amenities that we did not have to pack and take from home or purchase once we got there (paper towels, toilet paper, hand soaps at the sinks, dish soap, dishwasher tablets, laundry detergent, beach towels, tons of games and activities to enjoy, boogie boards, a beach wagon, etc). Additionally, the outdoor furniture and grill were all clean and in good working order. We've stayed in home before where items are broken or just not kept properly. We did not find that to be the case in any area in this home. I would highly recommend this home! We definitely plan to stay there again!
5.0 / 5.0
This was absolutely the best place we have ever stayed for a family vacation. There were so many things to do at the house but the pool was the highlight of our stay. The hosts were so attentive to every detail and went way above and beyond to ensure that my family and I had the best vacation ever. We all would definitely love to stay here again.

Our stay at Whales Tales was amazing. The house is perfect for a family gathering and you can’t beat the location. The little touches that Shelly & Tom provided made our stay even better. We highly recommend this home and will def be staying here again in the future.

We have stayed in a lot of houses over the years on VRBO but this one was literately the best house we have ever stayed in. It’s almost like being spoiled, it felt like you were in your own house it had everything it was the perfect place to stay.
The place was amazing, so were the people (the pool guy and of course the owners) the small businesses were great as well! Lovely choice of food and only a golf cart ride away.

Summer Fun!
What a fabulous place - clean, plenty of space and all the amenities of home. Far more than just your typical rental, Tom and Shelley really make you feel welcome. The house is also perfectly positioned for the beach and allows easy access to all the fun around Myrtle Beach.

Best House and Fabulous Owners
We’ve been coming to the beach for more than a decade. This is by far the best house we’ve rented. Stocked with top of the line supplies, perfect location and wonderful, responsive property owners. Can’t say enough good things! Definitely recommend.

amazing family vacation house
Clean, bright, beautifully appointed beach house. Absolutely the best equipped rental we’ve ever had, from beach equipment to toiletries. The charcuterie board, pizza gift certificate and top shelf coffee and tea station made us feel we were welcome and cared for. Our hosts were incredibly responsive and accommodating,. With a gorgeous patio, pool and hot tub in the rear, and the ocean just across the road, the location was excellent. We are grateful for our stay … you can’t do better!

Myrtle Beach - Whales Tale - Great Location
This house was perfect for our vacation with plenty of room for the 8 of us. The location was excellent. Close enough to beach access, bars, restaurants, shopping, and groceries, yet in a quiet residential neighborhood. The house was spotlessly clean and the kitchen is very well stocked.
Tom and Shelly were quick to answer our questions and truly mean it when the say just pack your clothes and groceries. The amenities are above and beyond what is listed. This house exceeded our expectations, and we will be returning
