Best weather week ever! We had an amazing week with beautiful temperatures, ocean breezes and a full moon! Our cottage has great views and Resort Realty was very responsive to our service needs. Thanks for a great week. See you next summer!

Whales Head Inn Spacious, clean and convenient. The elevator was a huge plus in baggage and grocery handling. Ample parking. A better quality cookware would be a plus, also a knife sharpener would have been great

Awesome home! This vacation home was the favorite for our whole group that's been vacationing in OBX for the past 35 years! We had so many comfortable places to hang out together, work on puzzles, get away to quiet area, movie night and the deck views of ocean in the back and sound in the front!!! We enjoyed sunrises and sunsets without going anywhere! Well appointed kitchen, lots of fridge space options and a cute screened in porch! Great private outdoor shower. Definitely would like to stay in this lovely home again!

Very Good House was beautiful as usual. Replacement of the stairs to the beach was such a nice addition! One mattress needs to be replaced but all other beds were very comfy. We will be back next year!

Very Good Everything was wonderful except the walkway to the beach was a little challenging for my 87 year old mother. A lot of sand on the steps and the hill to climb to get to the stairs was challenging for all of us.

Excellent Wonderful home for my large family. The large view and wet bar room without a television was my favorite. The beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was nicely equipped with everything we needed. (Except for the whisk...really need a stronger whisk, lol!) Thank you so much, we had a great time.

Great time at A Whale's Head Inn Our group of 5 families had an amazing vacation at A Whale’s Head Inn. The house is clean, spacious and fit our needs perfectly. The location to the beach is wonderful with clear views of the ocean and the sunrise. Thanks for having us and we look forward to future bookings. Our only constructive feedback is that parts of the house (pool, hot tub, theater room, sone common space furniture) are looking a little dated.

Beach Week Perfect house for our family reunion every year.

Very Good The layout was perfect for our family. It was easy to get together for meals and playing games but had lots of space to get away alone or in smaller groups as needed. We loved being right on the ocean. The hot tub got a lot of use. Our vacation was impacted by bad weather but it was a great place to relax.

Great House and Great Experience The Whale’s Head Inn was the perfect location for our large group of several families to enjoy OBX. Plenty of room, great amenities (the kitchen areas had everything!) and the beachfront location were everything that we had hoped for. Thanks so much for a great beach vacation. Thank you, Friends from Somerset County, PA
