Perfect house for all of our family. Close to town and had all amenities . Back yard fire pit was fun in the evening. We will choose Whales Tale again next year !

This is a comfortable house that is away from the hustle and bustle of town. Short walk to the Discovery Trail and the beach. We enjoyed having the backyard to grill dinner and to allow our dog some freedom.

Excellent location with everything you need. Property could use some maintenance but over all a great stay.

I loved it but I think it would be great if you posted how long it takes to walk to the beach that would help grandparents walking with grands. It was lovely. Very quiet neighborhood. Very nice home. Wonderful mangers of property. I was mistaken as to how close it was but it worked out GREAT. We will most likely rent again thanks for the wonderful stay

We had a very relaxing and comfortable stay at the Whale House. Everything was in perfect condition and the fully fenced backyard was a major plus for our dog.

Reviewer Comments:
The Whales Tale was a fabulous home for our Christmas vacation. Lots of sleeping room for all of us, the 1/2 bath downstairs was super handy and the fenced back yard was perfect for the pups. The kitchen was large, but there could be more silverware and cookware. The skillet was great for breakfast. The walk to the beach is quite a hike, but the trial is nice and easy. We brought puzzles and toys after reading other reviews that the house does not have many. Overall a wonderful stay despite the weather! Bloomer was in touch with us to make sure we were comfortable during the power outage and responsive with any questions for concerns.
4.4
Our first impression was good, but if you plan on cooking, bring your own pots and pans. The kitchen is poorly stocked. The kitchen was clean though. We were frustrated when it came to showering and towels. There was one wash cloth in the entire house for four adults to share. I texted the management company to see about getting more, but never got a response. Over all, a nice enough house, but we wouldn't stay there again.
4.4
It was a very nice house but there was dog hair on the furniture and we had to cover everything up due to allergies. There also needs to be more silverware and dishes for larger groups.
4.4
Great property -- well-kept, quiet neighborhood with easy access to the beachside trail, and a short drive to the town center and main boardwalk. Plenty of room for two adults and four kids, great open layout for cooking + interacting, and lovely back yard with grill and fire pit (s'mores!!!).
We had a fantastic time staying here and would definitely do it again.

My Beach Trip
The house was very clean! There were amidites I didn't expect and was glad to have whether I used them or not. Clean bedding, and having a nice washer & dryer was great. Here was my only downfall. Only one TV and it was a Ruko. I'm an Xfinity person so trying to find the programs I watch was very hard if not impossible. However the worst part was we had kids that don't watch what we watch and a small seating area living room made that difficult. I suggest a second tv be added to the downstairs spare room would have made a big difference. The second major issue to us was NO PARKING on the street, where there was cars parked on the street. The guy that was directly across the street from us parked his jeep directly in front of our driveway and that made it difficult to back out a truck. We drive trucks. We did fit our smaller vehicles in the 2 car garage. We all traveled down separately because we all work different hours. and were not able to condence that. Lastly, the windy beaches really put a damper on the kids enjoying the beach. So would we rent a house at Long Beach again? No. Next year its lake from property. Sorry Long Beach.

Great house for my family and another family to stay out. Fenced in yard for the dog was great. The area was a little out of the way from downtown, but a great location for a quick walk to the beach. We'd definitely stay again.

We were really looking forward to have a family outing in January in Long Beach and this was our first time visiting Long Beach. Before choosing this site we had reviewed all the other sites and yes we knew that had been thing broken before with other visitors to the home but after four months we assumed they had been repaired. The rental was dirty when we arrived and we just wiped things down such as dirt on doors and toilets, But the total misrepresentation of their rental is that there was a working desk and printer, we asked the management and they said they had removed it from their site but it was never removed anything, the fireplace not working or having a enclosed fenced yard it is still on the VRBO website as of today. Not before or even after we left and we notified them. Three of our family members work from home.
We had issues with the space heaters because they would pop the fuses when turned on and it was 18 degrees when we got there and the bottom floors does not heat up with the forced air just the upstairs so it was cold. We notified the management but they said only that they would send someone to repair the fence gate that would not shut but they didn't come either. The toilet and the bathtub backed up during our stay. They charged for our dogs but everything was damaged by other dogs such as the sofa, carpet, and two sliding door screens were ripped up. Very disappointed and we really like Long Beach.

REVIEWS ARE FAKE FROM LOCAL RESIDENTS!!!
DIRTY, UNPROFESSIONAL, and worst of all, false advertising. House was advertised as having a separate office for a workation house. Turns out there is no such room. Also, at midnight the entire closet in the master bedroom can crashing down - turns out they didn’t even hang an entire closet in STUDS! Can you believe that!?! It could have fallen on any of my four children -
AND THE FILTH! Sticky dirty counters, dust everywhere, greasy fridge handles and stove, just awful and gross. I’ve give this place four chances and same on me for giving them so many. I warn y’all, take a close look at their “cleaning” and you’ll see it isn’t clean at all. WORST experience thus far with bloomer, the past vacation there was DOG POOP IN THE LIVING ROOM STILL? And they said they cleaned? Yeah right!! Should have never given a second chance after that, but we did and honestly, shame on me
DO NOT GO THRU BLOOMER, their reviews are fake from friends and local residents!!!!!!

We found that the house was comfortable for a family stay. It had many nice touches. Great for kids and pets. Wonderful location. Quiet neighborhood. Not far from beach. Long Beach is a lovely vacation spot. There are many historic markers and notable spots from the Lewis & Clark expedition. The beach is also known for kites.
The property was fairly well maintained but needs more attention to the details. 2 of the bedrooms had no where to unpack clothing except hang on hangers. The backyard is not escape proof. The master bath toilet was backing up. The Property mgr brought over a plunger. Towel rack in master bath was not anchored on wall. Shower in master bath tub didn't work. Master bedroom lamp did not work. The IKEA foam mattresses left me achy. The bed frame had amateurish repair. The backyard grill needs to be replaced. It is clean but looks unsafe. We did not use the grill. The propane tank was empty.

Great location; house needs work
From empty Ikea picture frames on the wall to broken blinds in the master bedroom to a thermostat with auto programming that left the bedrooms sweltering at night, missing batteries for the TV remote, broken french press coffee pot and literally every bed in the house having old, saggy mattresses, this place was a disappointment. The property managers were fabulous and prompt, but the house itself needs work ASAP. No games or puzzles either; we bought some and left for future guests.
