The Whaler is a lovely, quiet complex. Although this condo has a few nice features like updated countertops and a nice ocean view, it was poorly maintained. Examples include: a moldy shower curtain and shower curtain liner, drapes with extensive mold and tape holding the hem up, unclean silverware, dirty toaster that needs to be replaced, a dresser in the closet the has a drawer with a broken base, significant carpet stains, and the presence of a rat-sized rodent that we encountered on our second night of our stay. The rodent chewed through two sealed plastic bags to get to unopened biscuits.
When we contacted the owner with our concerns the next morning following our rodent encounter, she was quick to send her cleaning service. The housekeeper replaced the shower curtain and set out rodent glue traps around the condo. Feeling uncomfortable staying in the condo with all the unresolved issues and a live rodent, we chose to vacate the premises and request a refund from the owner. We were charged for the two nights we stayed in the condo and refunded the remaining five nights of our reservation.
