This was perfect for us. We all had our own room and bath. The downstairs area is a little strange, but completely usable. Kitchenette was stocked with dishes and silverware and a few pots and pans. The bathrooms were nice and clean and well lit once we figured out the dimmer switch! The bathroom mirror in room one was very small, but that is a very minor detail. Suggestion: a full length mirror in the hallway would be nice for everyone! The host was very responsive. And, this location is amazing. Walk to the beach, the ferry, cute shops, and bars and restaurants. There isnât a walkable grocery store, but around the corner is an Ace Hardware that has a small grocery section!Thanks so much!
My team was attending a function Saturday. This location was amazing . All of the downtown activities were a short walk away. The rooms were nicely appointed and comfortable. Would stay here again.
We enjoyed our stay in Edmond. It is a delightful town, within a block of the Whaleâs Nest. We were just a few blocks from the ferry to Kingston. The rooms are comfortable and clean.
Just a half block from downtown and a few blocks from the ferry to Kingston! Common area strangely in the basement which you access from the rear but it was very private and separate from main floor bedrooms, we liked it!
My sisters and I enjoyed our stay. Really comfortable beds. The location is perfect, walkable to beach, shops and eateries. Especially was happy to have parking. We had perfect weather so the lovely garden was a great spot to relax. Thanks, Lance, for the prompt communication.
This beautiful cottage has perfect location and everything you need to enjoy artsy and walkable Edmonds; ferry into Seattle (Kingston, connecting with fast ferry or on Sounder trains); go on whale-watching cruises; or take picturesque train rides on Amtrak to Bellingham and beyond. Do this!
We wanted to spend some sister time together close to the water and Whale's Nest was perfect. There were five of us sisters and each had a birthday in each month from August through December. We did lots of talking, laughing, crying, eating and shopping. An amazing time was had by all. The rooms we excellent. The main gathering room was nice and clean but looked like plans for that area were still in progress. All in all, we really very much enjoyed our stay. I would recommend it to everyone.
In the best location for experiencing Edmonds and to be able to walk everywhere without having to rent a car. The community shops, cafes, and restaurants are charming and welcoming. The property has a quirky floorplan, but adequate space, amenities, and privacy for each bedroom. The kitchenette could use a few more utensils, larger glassware, larger coffee mugs, and brighter lighting. Because there are no grocery stores within walking distance, a few more stocked supplies such as toilet paper, paper towels, and coffee pods would be appreciated. We would definitely stay at the whales nest again and hope to visit next year.
The advertising for this unit could be more clear to align what the users expect to find verses what is there. The main disconnect for us is that the front door leads into only a small narrow hallway with 3 lockable bedroom doors. The main common area is located in the basement which is accessed only by going back outside the building, around to the other side of the building and down an exterior stair. Most places have the bedrooms off the main common area and there was not enough description to lead us to think that we would get anything different. Trying to hang out with the family required us to go outside the building many times to go between the bedrooms and the common area.
We loved our stay at The Whaleâs Nest and will be sure to book again. The property is charming & thoughtfully appointed, very comfortable and perfectly located downtown. The heated bathroom floors are the cherry on top!
Wonderful set-up at this rental with three mini-units within one adorable house. I loved that each bedroom had its own bathroom, with a fun and funky common area downstairs.
We used Whale's Nest for a UVA reunion over the summer. The Whale's Nest was a perfect location for us near my condo. Loved having three en suite rooms. We socialized and cooked at my condo and used Whale's Nest for additional sleeping accommodations.
We loved staying at the Whaleâs Nest. The homeowner was extremely helpful and responsive. We absolutely loved the location!! We hope to be repeat guests!
Loved this little gem in Edmonds! It was the perfect space for our family, and we enjoyed being able to walk to coffee shops during our stay. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable and comfortable!
We were in Edmonds for a family function which took place near the Ferry dock. The location of the house is perfect for central city activities. We had to get used to the fact that the common area was out the front door, around the building and down the stairs, but it worked out.
Fantastic Location in the heart of Edmonds. Nice accommodation for a group that needs 3 separate bedrooms, each with private bath. The common area / lounge is unfortunately awkwardly set up as if it were an obligatory afterthought - not a cozy inviting area for my group accessible only from a door leading to the basement. But the quality of the 3 bedrooms and overall experience staying at the Wales Nest was great. Without hesitation I would recommend the Wales Nest to friends and family.
It was such a fun stay with friends. Completely walkable to all that makes Edmonds so charming. It was great that there was privacy of rooms and separate bathrooms. Definitely will want to do another weekend stay with friends.
