A guest from Cedar Park, TX, TX

Whalecome Inn was dirty

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was nice and spacious. Walk softly otherwise the neighbors will hear. Upon arriving we noticed the condo was unclean. Dog hair was still on base boards and floor. We tried to use the vacuum but it was full of dog. And left a huge mound of dog hair when turned on, it was disgusting. As far as the property, the pool was over crowded. The pool restroom was absolutely disgusting, unclean. The second floor of the club house was covered in bugs. When we went up there we immediately ran down and still had bugs on us. The property needed to be sprayed for bugs and mosquitoes. You could not go out on patio without being attacked by mosquitoes. I wish there was a shower by the pool area to wash the sand off, people were getting in the pool to wash off.

NICE PLACE BUT MISLEADING

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice place. Clean. Fairly new appliances and furniture. When you have a car and you look for a place with a garage and then you rent it and find a golf cart parked in the garage its a misleading advert. We rented the unit next door(126) a week before and it had a usable garage so we assumed this unit would but the owners decided to advertise falsely. It was made worse by the cold freeze weather where we had to park outside. No garage was a big disappointment!

Wonderful Home away from Home!

Other than the code not working to get in the house upon arrival (which was resolved within 20 minutes by the awesome management company) our stay was AMAZING! The house was beautiful and spotless! We were all so comfortable and had soooo much fun! Four blocks from the beach and so peaceful. We didn’t want to leave! The amenities on the property were great and the pool with the slide was fun! The yacht club was full of fun games and pickle ball was great! Fun for families and couples alike!!! Recommended the property to friends of ours who are looking to stay there now as well!!! Beautiful home!!
