Whalehouse Waterfront Haven w/ Boat Launch, Fireplaces & Large Deck

Whalehouse

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Perched on the shores of Port Susan, Whalehouse is a gorgeous waterfront 4BR/3BA home with fresh renovations and plenty of space for large family gatherings. Take in sweeping water views from the deck or the window-lined living room, where a gas fireplace adds a cozy touch. Wake to views of the waves in a private master suite, outfitted with another gas fireplace.

Tie up your boat to the private mooring anchor or set sail via your private boat launch. A wood-burning fire pit awaits when you come back in from the water.

LIVING AREA

Open beam ceilings create an inviting ambience in the open-concept living area, where tall windows showcase lovely views of Port Susan. Settle in on a plush sofa and love seat to watch your favorite shows on the 46 TV.

The gas fireplace brings a warm touch to cool nights.

KITCHEN & DINING

Tap into your culinary side in a high-end kitchen, complete with all the cookware and gadgets you may need. A full suite of stainless steel appliances includes a side-by-side fridge, French-door oven, and a gas range.

Four can keep the chef company at the glossy kitchen island. When its time to eat, share home-cooked meals at two dining tables -- one seats four, and the other seats six.

BED & BATH

This two-story home sleeps 14 guests in four bedrooms.

The master suite is a private sanctuary with towering windows overlooking the water. Sleep soundly on a king-size bed, or curl up in a comfy sitting area complete with a gas fireplace and 46 TV. The en-suite master bathroom is outfitted with a sparkling tub/shower combination.

The second bedroom has two twin-over-full bunk beds. The third bedroom is also furnished with two twin-over-full bunk beds. A fourth bedroom has a twin-over-twin bunk bed and a twin-over-full bunk.

Theres plenty of space to refresh in two pristine guest bathrooms. One is appointed with a walk-in shower, and another has a tub/shower combination.

OUTDOOR AREAS

Listen to the waves roll in on the spacious waterfront deck, where theres plenty of outdoor furniture and built-in bench seating. Fire up the gas grill and host a sunset cookout. A wood-burning firepit sets the scene for starlit smores after a day on the water.

The boaters in your group will appreciate the private on-site launch -- simply back in from the driveway. (This property does not have a boat dock; however, a private mooring anchor can be found directly in front of the home.)

EXTRA AMENITIES & MORE DETAILS

Guest amenities include complimentary Wi-Fi and a washer/dryer. There is parking for up to four cars in the gravel driveway, which doubles as a launch for smaller boats.

Although this home does not have central air, three of the bedrooms have wall-mounted air-conditioning units.

Fabulous views and great location
We loved the location, the views, the abundance of beds (none of us had to use a top bunk) and three bathrooms! Wish the master had blinds. Had issues with the kitchen and have provided feedback to property manager/owner. Biggest issues were the mold in refrigerator water dispenser tube and jetted tub (master bath) intake/filter. Wishes for more hand towels and washcloths and better dish soap in kitchen. Also unscented hand soap for bathrooms would be nice for those of us with allergies. We enjoyed being together, the two tables in the kitchen/dining areas and cooking great meals to share. Enjoyed walking the beach, the views, and the space to be together. Some found a pickleball court to play on and a wine tasting event to attend nearby.

Would have given it a 5 but you really need to have some sort of blinds on the master bedroom. Neighbors can see right in and a bright sun at 5 in the morning. Saw lots of sea animals. Kids enjoyed the beach and such a lovely view.

Nice stay!
The property is very well maintained and clean. The mattress of bunk beds are however a little wonky. It would also be nice if we didn't have to get our coffee. Otherwise, we had a great time there and the beach and view is great!

Didn’t want to leave!!
This home was so cozy and calming! We had the best experience and made some amazing memories, we didn’t want to leave!! The views were spectacular and the kitchen and dining spaces were perfect for family dinners. So many things to do in the area we wish we stayed longer to do them all. Book this house!! You won’t regret it!

Great Beach House
Loved the house and the beach, lots of room for our grown kids and our grandchildren. The 2 kayaks were used by all and the kids swam every day. So nice to be able to watch from the deck & patio. Hope to stay at the Whalehouse again next spring or summer!

Cozy outlook amid stormy waters
private, hidden community of longtime beach homes. Beautiful floor-to-ceiling views of the wind-whipped waves. Not enough beach to walk along, due to the king tides and nighttime low tides. House is fine for kids and adults, with a decent kitchen and a huge master suite upstairs.

60th Birthday Weekend
This vacation rental is absolutely perfect! So many beds for people to sleep in! Great for a family reunion etc! Super clean and couldn't have a better location! Gorgeous views. Saw dolphins, lots of salmon jumping out of the water, and a couple seals. Kitchen is amazing and has all kinds of dishes, cookware and even lots of spices. Thanks for a great place. Memories to last a lifetime

Fall retrest
House is situated right on the water. It was fine for our group of 10. However, it sleeps up to 14 but there is very limited parking, so plan accordingly. A bit more comfy seating would have been nice for a large group.

Perfect for a lazy weekend
Didn't know that there are dolphins around here. They came by at dusk. Just right off the back patio. We also saw quite a few seal. The house is right on the water. It would be good for storm watching. There's a nice little rocky beach at low tide. Kitchen was pretty well equipped. Very comfortable. Responsive management. I'd stay again for sure.

Peaceful place in a chaotic time
This home has great supplies for cooking, comfortable beds, plenty of space and the hosts make you feel very welcome. The view is spectacular, and the spirit of the whale house is most peaceful and rejuvenating! Thank you for making this oasis of grace available for renting! We will be back soon! Well laid out for children, and adults. The kitchen has high end appliances and gives great space to cook while many people are present. We saw eagles, sea otters, great blue herons and spectacular sunrises and sunsets!

Good for noncooking family
Clean and Location was fabulous. However, 1 ROOM was outside the heating area - and uncomfortable to sleep - also having no instruction to operate appliance was little inconvenient - We were unable to switch on In-Sink-Erator which was a nightmare every time dish washer ran.

We were so pleasantly surprised by the space- it’s even more gorgeous in person! As someone who’s never visited camano island before- I didn’t realize there was absolutely no take out delivery. We ate out at tapped brewery though and it was amazing.

Excellent location and beautiful sunrises
The house did not disappoint. The location right on the water and the private boat launch and buoy allowed us to bring our small fishing boat and use it for crabbing throughout the weekend. The only downside was the sewer smell and overflowing manhole cover in the driveway. The property manager responded right away but was slow to react (3 days after check-in).

September Autumn days
Beautiful location. Very quiet and peaceful with great deck. Our family of 7 had firepit going, grill going and using the kayaks on beautiful Fall weather days. Interior finishes were well done. Kitchen is well equipped and and easy to gather around. The only thing that was annoying was the strong and immediate smell of cat urine/chemicals in the entry vestibule. I have seen previous review comments on this before so wonder why the smell cannot be removed. Overall, we had a wonderful much needed family get-together.

What a view!
This house is pretty amazing! It hit all the marks as far we were concerned. We even night fished off the back deck when the tide was up. Great location, nice neighbors that were friendly. House was amazing. Great for several families to come together. The only complaint was I had asked about the Septic issue a previous person had posted and they said the issue was resolved. Last night while we were out on the back deck the smell was horrible and we had to go inside. Otherwise we would definitely book again.
