Whalers Rest

Diane was truly the best! She helped make sure our different groups were all near each other. She was patient, organized, kind, and infinitely helpful. This was our 3rd year here and definitely the best.

It was so clean and comfortable.

Very clean. Plenty of towels. Loved having folding chairs! Great shower! Appreciated that all the windows opened. Friendly staff.

Dishwasher did not work. DVD player in main room didn't work. Remotes in same room didn't work (one had dead batteries and the other had no batteries) so couldn't use TV. Dehumidifier hadn't been emptied prior to stay and overflowed. Dehumidifier puts off a lot of heat. Was difficult to cool cabin on the hot days.

Great location with friendly staff and clean amenities.

Lots to do for the kiddos, pool, hottub playground. The cabins are awesome! Only wish the pool and clubhouse stayed open later than 6pm..closes very early!

Pool and club house close very early..6 pm

Cabin itself was small but nice, with enough chairs and most tools (pots and pans, plates and bowls, utensils) to make kitchen usable. Closeness to the beach was good and it was also not too far from Newport.

The grill pit was full of cigarette butts, the gas grill was full of spider webs and with nothing onsite to clean them onsite, it was not possible to use. Cooking inside the cabin set off the fire alarm (pan cooked steaks). Bunk beds' beddings were flaky and had to be put on by ourselves. Onsite facilities were mostly unusable (jacuzzi didn't work, foosball table was missing a defensive line, not enough balls for pool, etc). There were no shampoos, soaps, etc. The fridge was small and uneven in temperature.

The kitchen had everything I needed to make meals, which made the cabin feel easy and comfortable. I also appreciated the gray sheets and towels—an unexpectedly smart choice that felt practical and much more forgiving than white. And the beach access was a standout; being able to run a few miles while only seeing a few people felt like the kind of peace you wish you could pack up and take home.

The cabin loop did not have a sign indicating which direction drivers should proceed. I ended up going clockwise and encountered a large truck coming from the opposite direction, leaving us face-to-face on the narrow road. The driver remained in his truck with his headlights shining directly at me until I backed up almost towards the entrance. After I moved, he only needed to pull forward a few feet to park at his unit. It was an unnecessary and avoidable altercation that could likely have been prevented with clearer signage.
