"The WhaleHouse"~ Upscale, 4000 Sq Ft Home For Large Family / 3.8 acres

Enjoy my upscale, 3.8 acre waterfront, 4000 square foot, secluded, but accessible home. There are 22 skylights in my beautiful custom built home, including a very large skylight over the master bed. Imagine stargazing from the comfort of your own bed and you don't even need to change out of your pajamas!!! There are also two skylights in the twin bedroom bedroom as well, and many scattered throughout the entire first floor.

Enjoy the master bedroom which is on entry the level with king size bed with water view and ocean sounds and ensuite bathroom with walk in shower and private toilet area. Entry level also includes a large family room with picturesque windows, an oversized kitchen, laundry room, ocean view bedroom/office work station, with 2 twin beds, half bathroom, and large outdoor oceanfront deck wit that is perfect for grilling or just relaxing.

There’s an oceanfront hot tub that you can enjoy and take in the ever changing scenery. Perhaps you’ll see a bald eagle, deer, elk, bear, white sided dolphins, whales and more. They’re definitely around!! You just have to be lucky to see them at the right moment!!!

Downstairs has a large TV/family room with professional grade pool table and two separate bedrooms (queen size beds) and one private full bathroom with step over tub/shower. Downstairs windows are at ground level so you'll often see wildlife strolling by or peering in at you. :)

We have WI FI, 2 TV’s- downstairs and in the master bedroom, and your cell phone should work fine (but depends on your cell phone carrier.)

Catch dungeness crab right off the beach out back. Beach is accessible from the backyard. Beach is rocky at high tide. At low tide rocky beach to get to sandy beach.

Town is about an easy 5-7 minute drive away.

Prices subject to change and are in USD by default. per VRBO.

A Nature Wonderland
This beautiful, clean and comfortable home is the perfect place to enjoy an endless show of wildlife, changing tides, great views, and incredible sea life. It’s perfectly isolated from noise and light, but close to the many activities offered in the area. The host is very helpful and communicative, and the house has everything you need to enjoy crabbing, fishing, and relaxing in the jacuzzi while watching the resident eagle. The large and abundant windows provide views of the show wherever you are in the house. We stayed 5 nights and should have stayed longer. We highly recommend!

Great location for a large group
The host was very easy to communicate with and did their best to ensure our stay was perfect. House is amazing with incredible views. Comes fully stocked with everything you need to be a home away from home. House and property are beautiful and spacious allowing for privacy if required. Great place for 4 couples or coworkers to stay comfortably.

Many good reasons to come back!
We stayed 4 nights in the WhaleHouse at the end of August, it was beyond our expectations! Nancy was very thoughtful and responsive. I have never received an information package from other rentals as detailed and helpful as Nancy’s. The house was clean, tastefully decorated, the beds were comfortable and the water view was amazing. We saw bald eagles nesting on the tree out of the window, deers on the lawn, no whales and bears though. We will definitely return to WhaleHouse again when we visit the area next time - hopefully we will see the bears and whales then 😊. Thank you Nancy.

Nancy welcomed us with 2 fresh fillets of halibut -thank you very much! House was well equipped and generously stocked with supplies and afforded fabulous views.we loved the hot tub and the pool table (many competitions were had) - no whales or bears but we loved seeing the deer , eagles and belted kingfishers ( and an uncommon common nighthawk!!) - best house we stayed in on. Vancouver island during our holiday -could have stayed forever!!

Great home base for 'Operation Orcas'
We stayed in the Whale House for a few nights in 2021. It is a beautiful property overlooking the Queen Charlotte Strait and we recommend staying here for the following reasons: 1. Location, location, location: it is private and overlooks an active pass where whales cruise by so you're always captivated by looking out onto the Ocean. Port McNeill is a great homebase for further adventures: you can go fishing, looking for whales, island hopping, or just escaping into the wilds of North Island. 2. Design: the home is tastefully designed with wall to wall windows, that makes it easy to enjoy the serene view. The tasteful decor and cabin specific touches add to its charm. 3. Lots of room and privacy: Although we didn't need all the space, the home is huge with plenty of bedrooms. Our three year loved playing 'hide-and-seek', as she had many more hiding spots to explore than in our small, Big City, loft. 4. Host with the most: Nancy, our host, was responsive and considerate of our requests. It was a very smooth experience all the way through.

Super Relaxing
This was the vacation our family needed. The property was well appointed. It was very comfortable and had everything to keep our family of 5 happy. We woke up everyday to a spectacular view. The biggest decision was whether to explore the North Island or just stay “home” and relax with book, take a walk on the beach, throw a frisbee with the kids or enjoy a soak in the hot tub. While we were there, the lowest tide was at 6:30 am on one day. We all got up to enjoy the sand that only appears at low tide. We were able to walk out a fair bit. It was super quiet. Everyday we were greeted by a pair of Eagles that loved to be perched on a tree viewable from the main windows. We went on hikes nearby and took a day trip to Alert Bay. There is no wifi, but we didn’t miss it. While there is cell coverage, it was spotty on my cell provider’s network. But since disconnecting from life back home was a high on our list of priorities, that was fine. Overall, we had a fabulous time at Nancy’s Whale House.
