Silvia Q.

Another great vacation for the books!
As always, we loved our time in Fernandina Beach. I gave Whale Tale 2 stars because it's in a great location, a fairly comfortable stay, the houses looked clean upon arrival, and we love that it was pet-friendly. We did find some cons. The listing says for 12 but it should be for 8 since the two sofa-beds are impossible to sleep in unless you want lumps and springs poking your back. The kitchens and bathrooms were poorly stocked compared to other places we've stayed in. Each bathroom had 4 towels.... again, more in line with 8 guests instead of 12, so we had to do laundry daily and use our own beach towels for showers. And finally, we had not one, but 4 encounters with roaches in the top floor. Pest control is definitely needed!
