Summary: This property worked great for our side of my family (15 of us) to be near my brother’s family(19). We were able to celebrate Thanksgiving dinner together in their homes and host a few get togethers at the Grey Whale. The house was spacious, well equipped and clean. We enjoyed the local shopping and restaurants plus the nearby ferry ride to a Steelers/Bengals game!

Summary: Great for multi family groups, we were able to spread out and have some quiet spaces. The house is well equipped with bath and kitchen items and suggestions from the hosts. Only minus--the grill is pretty rusted out , probably needs to be replaced.

Summary: We loved the arrangement of living quarters and the room for plenty to choose where to sleep. However, for older groups, you may want to consider adding more lighting at the stairs. We had two instances where a couple of people almost fell because they couldn't see where the steps met the landing. The house was VERY clean, and the managers were quick to respond when we had a problem. We would stay at the Gray Whale again if the opportunity arises!
