The Whale House was just as advertised : clean, comfortable and well-equipped. Andre was immediately available to answer our check-in questions. We enjoyed morning coffee on the lanai with its ocean view. Location was great with close proximity to Volcanoes Nat'l Park. The info in the unit on nearby attractions was very helpful. Our favorite memory of our stay was snorkeling in the tide pools a short drive up the road ; it was like swimming in an aquarium! We thought the Whale House was an exceptional value and would recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
