I throughly enjoyed my stay at Whaleback Cottage. Tom (TJ) and his father Tom were very nice people whom I enjoyed talking with about the area. Tom’s father Tom taught me the best way how to cook my own lobster! The 3 large window sunroom was absolutely gorgeous. I spent a good deal of my time there. The view of the ocean and the rocks from there was incredible! I walked out on the rocks many mornings, The decor in the cottage was very nautical and extremely pleasant to look at. I loved that the upstairs master bedroom had a large deck with a gorgeous view. The outside of the property was very nice too. Chairs to sit on in front for the view and chairs outback with a fire pit near a lovely lily pond to enjoy. The lounge chairs near the the house with outside lights was very nice as well. The stars at night and the sunsets were gorgeous! I very much loved all the lavender around the whole property. I was treated each night to deer including a baby fawn come very close on the property. Thanks once again to Tom and Tom for being gracious hosts……I’ll be back!

This was our second time at Whalesback! It is a peaceful place to recharge. Looking forward to when we can come back again!

The property’s location cannot be diminished over time. The views of the ocean are spectacular. But, when weather forces you inside for several days, you realize how little effort has been put forth to maintain the cottage. The bedrooms and sole full bath were esp. poor. Plastic taped windows and no screens. Cracked ceilings. Untaped drywall. No toilet paper holders.Sliding doors in the primary bedroom with no screens. No ceiling fans. Mismatched furniture and lamps. Pealing paint and rust on the exterior rear of the house. And a kitchen with 1980s appliances. The view was great. But, if you like upscale beds and baths - not here !
