This resort is pretty decent has great cabins from big to small and depending on how much you pay is how much better your view will be of the whales head beach. The beach is within walking distance if you want to walk or there's a road down there. There is a restaurant at the resort its okay. I recommended... More

The review author is spot on. Each cabin is privately owned and the rates are set by the owner(s). All cabins have a full kitchen and are furnished. I don't believe you will find a better bargain for the dollars. More

My first thought when I got into bed was " well if I was homeless, I would find myself greatful for a bed and covers". Awful, awful night! Bedding is everything and the bedding in this cabin ( manufactured home) was anything but acceptable. Pillows were so bad! I woke in the night with my back, hips and legs aching... More

Check out this cabin at whalesheadbeachresort.com. A beautiful cabin that has been upgraded and is kept is immaculate condition. The master has a 'new' Queen bed and the views from the front deck are pristine. I recommend this cabin to the most discriminating traveler. You will be rested and satisfied when you leave. More

After our third visit, every time has been a little different. You never know what room will be a dud until you stay there. I-1 is where we stayed last time. It was still the winter time and the heater barely was functional. It made allot of noise but did not produce allot of heat and we were freezing throughout... More

Restaurant has been remodeled and now it is time to start on the office. A big (expensive) job that will take some time to complete. In the meantime, bear with us while we complete our construction project(s), you will be pleased. Some of the cabins have fallen into disrepair due to lack of oversight and as these cabins are identified,... More

I welcome reviews of our resort, good and bad as this is the way that we can make our resort better. As far as this review goes, I will respond by saying that this guest used the hot tub in an improper manner, staying in it for extended periods of time and raising the temperature above that set by the...

Very weird, albeit clean little house. Nice amount of space for the $. Based on the amount of people complaining every time I went to the front desk, I think we got lucky. I do not envy the very nice handyman there. He is VERY busy. We arrived at 1pm, looked at the house, decided to rent it. It was... More

Usually we bring our kids, but this time it was just my husband and myself. We stayed in OV-12 which was very comfortable for us. Loved the hot tub and the view. We have stayed before, so knew what to expect. If you are looking for a quiet place with all the comforts of home, this is for you. If... More

The new Management is terrible! The place was amazing when Donnie McNeely was in charge but I recently encountered the" new Sheriff in town" Mr Bill Duke, and he was very rude and unprofessional... I would not recommend anybody to go to this place! I would also like to add that the food quality has really gone down the drain,... More

This resort is under new management and we are working hard to bring the resort up to the standards that most are looking for. The restaurant has recently been remodeled and most of the wildlife mounts have been removed. A fresh coat of paint, coastal pictures on the walls and a spectacular view will make your dining experience one to... More

These are not cabins but rather little manufactured homes painted to look like redwood cabins. The entire resort is a time share with each "cabin" owned by individuals. The people at the front office have no idea about the condition of each place (or so they say) so I like the suggestion made by other reviewers to look at several... More

hummm! Chicken Fried Prime Rib----After talking to our guests and going over the receipts for the past year we found that some liked it, most didn't. Threw out more than was served, (very expensive). Chicken Fried steaks now prepared the traditional way are a hit. Gravy is the same that is served in most of the large establishments with a... More

I was a little nervous about staying here after reading all of the negative reviews, however we were pleasantly surprised. We stayed in Unit U-11. It was beautiful, very clean and spacious! The view was exceptional from this unit and it felt private. We had a full kitchen, loft for kids (although we didn't use it) and a spacious bedroom.... More
