Summary: This was our second year staying at "Whale's Tale," a truly special vacation home situated on the pristine and untouched Man O'War Cay. We simply couldn’t resist returning! The yard is as enchanting as ever, featuring a vibrant palette of brilliant red hibiscus and other native blooms in shades of fuchsia and pink, beautifully complemented by lush green palm fronds. The homeowners have thoughtfully updated the kitchen with sleek white cabinets, marble-like countertops, and stunning sea glass shades of translucent subway tile. The home exudes warmth and hospitality, offering ample opportunities for family gatherings over meals and endless hours of puzzles and games. Ideal for outdoor living, it boasts a perfect location for accessing beaches on either side of the island, as well as the charming shops in the settlement. We dined at the newly renovated marina restaurant and savored coffee and pastries at the local coffee shop. Our family has been visiting Man O'War Cay since the 1980s, and "Whale's Tale" serves as the perfect venue to continue this cherished tradition. We already miss it!

Summary: Whale’s Tale was a delight on the beautiful quiet island of Man-o-War Cay. It was a 5 minute walk to the beach and a short walk to the harbor for us to hop on our boat everyday. The outdoor shower was our everyday shower which we loved and kept the cottage from getting Sandy. The best part, in my opinion was laying in the hammock every afternoon or as sunset, reading my novel and enjoying the sounds of the ocean and the birds that frequent the beautiful yard. I would happily stay here again! Thank you for helping us create our family memories! gettingsnady.

Summary: The Whales Tale was perfect for my husband and myself as well as our daughter and son-in-law! It basically has two master bedrooms; one has a separate entrance which allows for privacy. Also there was other space for additional people/kids that we did not use. The air conditioning was fantastic, back up generator turns on automatically, the deck was very comfortable and the location was a short walk to the beach. The owners were very communicative.

Summary: Nestled in the heart of Man O'War lies the charming residence known as Whale's Tale. Our family has been visiting MOW since the 1980s. We adored Whale's Tale. The dwelling is enveloped in luxuriant landscapes filled with lush flowering greens, bougainvillea, and hibiscus. Each day, we engaged in our yoga practice or immersed ourselves in reading while swaying gently in the hammock on the front veranda. The abode boasts two queen beds and a smaller twin, each accompanied by its own recently renovated and beautifully decorated bathroom. The kitchen is well-appointed, perfectly meeting our culinary needs. Whale's Tale is tastefully adorned in soothing shades of blues and greens reminiscent of the sea glass scattered along the shoreline. It proved to be the idyllic retreat for our family's vacation.

Summary: This Whale Tale property is a slice of paradise. Beautifully furnished and the garden property 500 feet from a gorgeous beach is so wonderful as a home base for adventuring the island. Hosts were very responsive and we felt we got more than we expected with the amazing island home and experience. Will absolutely stay here again.

Summary: We stayed at this property in November of 2023. The property has a bedroom inside with one twin bed and a larger bed, as well as another bedroom accessible by the porch. It worked very well for a family with younger teenagers. The property has an amazing covered porch which is where we spent most of our time. The kitchen is well stocked for a small space - nice open concept space into the living room. A very quick walk to the ocean and short walk to the settlement. Caretakers and owner were very responsive.
