This was my second stay at the Whale’s Nest in Edmonds, this time with my sisters, and I’m already planning a third trip with friends next spring! Its central location made it easy to enjoy the darling shops, great restaurants, and the farmers market all within walking distance. We loved the lower-level area with its own entrance and kitchenette—it might not be for everyone, but it was perfect for us to set up an arts table, watercolor together, and enjoy a charcuterie board from our market finds. The rooms were clean and comfortable, each with its own bathroom, and the owners were communicative and considerate. Truly top-shelf and a delightful stay.

This was perfect for us. We all had our own room and bath. The downstairs area is a little strange, but completely usable. Kitchenette was stocked with dishes and silverware and a few pots and pans. The bathrooms were nice and clean and well lit once we figured out the dimmer switch! The bathroom mirror in room one was very small, but that is a very minor detail. Suggestion: a full length mirror in the hallway would be nice for everyone! The host was very responsive. And, this location is amazing. Walk to the beach, the ferry, cute shops, and bars and restaurants. There isn’t a walkable grocery store, but around the corner is an Ace Hardware that has a small grocery section!Thanks so much!

We had a great stay. There were so many places to eat and explore within a few minutes' walk.

The location of this home couldn't be more ideal and is the main reason we chose it. You are within walking distance to a large selection of fantastic restaurants, coffee shops, the beach and everything Edmonds has to offer. Parking can be a challenge if your group has more than one car since the provided spot off the alley is pretty tight. We fit two cars in the spot but it was pretty challenging and there are restrictions on the street parking in the neighborhood. We had an issue with the coffee pot the second day of the stay and the owner was extremely responsive. He quickly came and swapped the coffee pot out and was very friendly and accommodative. The house was also very clean.However, the layout of the house is very odd which isn't clearly communicated in the listing. The main level consists of three bedroom - all with an ensuite bathroom which was nice. However, there was NO common area at all on this level which was inconvenient.The common area was the basement which included a small kitchen. Unfortunately, the only way to access this area from the main level was by exiting the home and walking around half of the house to some very steep steps to the basement level. This made it impossible to put my grandson to bed upstairs and spend time with my son and his wife in the evening down in the basement which was very disappointing. Something to keep in mind if togetherness is an important goal for your group.
