We had a great stay. There were so many places to eat and explore within a few minutes' walk.

Just a half block from downtown and a few blocks from the ferry to Kingston! Common area strangely in the basement which you access from the rear but it was very private and separate from main floor bedrooms, we liked it!

The advertising for this unit could be more clear to align what the users expect to find verses what is there. The main disconnect for us is that the front door leads into only a small narrow hallway with 3 lockable bedroom doors. The main common area is located in the basement which is accessed only by going back outside the building, around to the other side of the building and down an exterior stair. Most places have the bedrooms off the main common area and there was not enough description to lead us to think that we would get anything different. Trying to hang out with the family required us to go outside the building many times to go between the bedrooms and the common area.

We wanted to spend some sister time together close to the water and Whale's Nest was perfect. There were five of us sisters and each had a birthday in each month from August through December. We did lots of talking, laughing, crying, eating and shopping. An amazing time was had by all. The rooms we excellent. The main gathering room was nice and clean but looked like plans for that area were still in progress. All in all, we really very much enjoyed our stay. I would recommend it to everyone.

My team was attending a function Saturday. This location was amazing . All of the downtown activities were a short walk away. The rooms were nicely appointed and comfortable. Would stay here again.

So close to downtown

In the best location for experiencing Edmonds and to be able to walk everywhere without having to rent a car. The community shops, cafes, and restaurants are charming and welcoming. The property has a quirky floorplan, but adequate space, amenities, and privacy for each bedroom. The kitchenette could use a few more utensils, larger glassware, larger coffee mugs, and brighter lighting. Because there are no grocery stores within walking distance, a few more stocked supplies such as toilet paper, paper towels, and coffee pods would be appreciated. We would definitely stay at the whales nest again and hope to visit next year.

My sisters and I enjoyed our stay. Really comfortable beds. The location is perfect, walkable to beach, shops and eateries. Especially was happy to have parking. We had perfect weather so the lovely garden was a great spot to relax. Thanks, Lance, for the prompt communication.
