About this property

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 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.

Great Location

Nice location and well furnished but no Internet & TV reception which is a disadvantage. Only the master bedroom has on suite shower and the guests from second bedroom have to use on suite bathroom for shower, which is some what inconvenient. Direction to the property needs to be improved and the lower level rooms and facility needs to be properly maintained.

About the host

Hosted by Nancy

I love the outdoors and all things that nature provides: sea kayaking, hiking, fishing, wildlife viewing and wildlife/nature photography. My extremely private home in British Columbia offers all of this, plus so much more. This space is my sanctuary and I'm grateful to be able to share this truly remarkable place with you. I have named her, "The WhaleHouse."

Why they chose this property

I love my property because of its location. My home is located on 3.8 oceanfront acres with amazing views all the way to the mainland. I have 2 bald eagle's nests on my property-1 is active and 1 is inactive. I see them flying back and forth from their nest to the waterfront often. This area is home of the Orca, or Killer Whale, and is a research hub for them. I have deer, bear, elk, and cougars walking through my property while they are enroute from the forest to the beach. I have seen orca and a large pod of white sided dolphins from the kitchen table. Guests and a close friend have seen wolves, however I have not (yet!!!). :)
I catch my own dungeness crab in the bay just in my very own backyard!! Port McNeill is a small, but quaint town with a population of about 2,500 residents. There is a grocery stores, a bank, an outdoor supply store etc. I'm approx. 30 minutes to world famous Telegraph Cove. The WhaleHouse is located in the middle of the forest but on the beach. It is nature at it's finest. It's close enough to town, but far enough to feel private and cozy, It is also clean, modern, upscale, and nicely decorated in the "West Coast~BC" style. It is also large enough to accommodate a large family, or several families traveling together. I believe you will find it to be super peaceful and a wonderful place to recharge your soul.

What makes this property unique

The unique benefits of The WhaleHouse are the views, the views, the views and location, location, location!!! It is also a beautiful custom home with 22 sky lights!!, with modern, upscale furnishings and decor, and then to top it off the jacuzzi on the deck is wonderful!! There is so much going on when looking out through the window. Because we are on the waterfront there is a ever constant change going on outside..... whether it be a deer and her fawn feeding in grass in front of the picture window, a bear on the beach, an eagle soaring over head, a fishing boat or ferry passing by, otters swimming past the house, Blue Herons fishing on the beach, catching Dungeness Crabs on the beach at low tide, the fog rolling in, the fog horns sounding, the tide changing, the sun setting, etc. etc.! I especially love the view from the master bed, and then at night there is a huge skylight above the master bed where you can stargaze!! I could go on forever! It's heaven on earth. Perfect place to relax and unwind. :)
