Family weekend getaway

House was just what we needed! Good location, enough rooms, allowed animals. Downside was that it was very surface level clean. It was quite dirty/grimey and needs a really good deep clean/shampoo the carpets or take the carpet out. My nephew is 10 months and when crawling the dirt had come off the carpet/floor onto his clothes in the areas that rubbed the floor. Definitely needs some TLC. Only other thing was the temperature downstairs was pretty cold and had it of been any colder out idk if it would have been manageable/comfortable. Overall good experience, soft beds and nice place to stay

Nice place

Overall it's a nice place. Outdoor patio furniture wasn't clean (mossy), couch very uncomfortable and no TV's in the bedrooms but the house is cute and well laid out. Would suggest soft-white LED lights instead of daylight bulbs since they are stark white.

Quiet and Comfortable

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.

Great time

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

Clean, cozy and lots of room.

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 recommend this vacation rental. 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.

Family Get Away

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.

Roomy but not as clean as could be.

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.

Whale's Tale

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.

Not What was Promised....

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.
