Our Perfect Place
Once again Campobello Island did not disappoint! We have been here several times now and love it, especially the Whale of a View cottage! It is the perfect getaway for us - beautiful evenings on the deck, mornings too! It is our happy place, we simply love it there :) Dennis and Margaret are wonderful hosts.

So peaceful!
We loved this quaint cabin setting right on the water on Campobello Island. The owner was so easy to work with and the description on VRBO was spot on. The cabin was spotless and stocked very well with the basics we needed. If ever in the area again we will definitely stay at Wilson Beach!!

Absolutely stunning views
This place is lovely, and it more that lives up to the name Whale of a View. If you’re looking for a peaceful quiet getaway, look no further. The screened porch (a rarity in the area for some reason) really extends the living space and was where we spent much of our time and where we are all of our meals. We had perfect weather and saw so many whales. The bed was super comfortable, the water piping hot, and having laundry machines was a great plus for our three week stay. We’d definitely stay here again.

Great stay!
We were blessed to snap up a last minute cancelation at Whale of a View cottage. It was our first time staying on Campobello and we were not disappointed. While the cabin hasnt been updated recently it is clean and comfortable. The kids loved the bunkbeds, tire swing and hammock. We all enjoyed the screened porched and smores around the fire pit. Even though it was cool my wife enjoyed the quiet solitude of the Eagles Nest gazebo for morning devotions. We had two separate whale sightings and the kids loved watching the boat traffic. Dennis checked on us briefly upon our arrival and I had a great chat before we left. We will be back at some point and will definitely reccomend to others.

First Timers
Lovely cottage. It had a very comfy and relaxing feeling to it- and had a sense it belonged to the island. The screened deck/room was perfect as was the outer deck. The views were as displayed and expressed - though even better. Perfect location on the island. I would recommend.

Slice of Heaven
This property is definitely a little slice of heaven. The 3 bedroom house is beautifully furnished but we spent very little time inside! The new addition of the deck was an exciting surprise. Sit on the deck, screened in porch, gazebo or in front of the fire - Beautiful views from every vantage point to watch for whale, seals, eagles and watch the lobster boats pickup their daily catch. Cook meals yourself or enjoy one of the wonderful restaurants close by. Beaches, hiking, relaxing - this location can not be beat!

Just what the Doctor Ordered a secluded getaway!
What can we say? Or four days at whale of a view we're absolutely PERFECT for us. We needed a place to de-stress and regroup and whale of a view didn't disappoint at all!
What you see is what you get with the view.... what they don't tell you is there are 4 bald eagles that live two doors down who like to display their artisan skills frequently. We saw an ospray, a heron, various hawks and other birds. We also got photo evidence of a seals nose... though we didn't see the rest of him.
A real bonus for us was the ferry service was extended through October so we got to explore Deer Island... complete with deer sightings and we had lunch on the waterfront in St. Andrews.
Overall, just what we needed... when we needed it. Enjoy!

Outstanding views
We spent two nights at Whale of a View cottage and loved it. The views from the deck and screened in porch (and the master bedroom!) were spectacular. We didn't feel like we had to go anywhere - loved sitting outside watching for whales and boats going by. The cottage is clean and cozy, and full of interesting vintage prints and books about the area. Dennis our host was very friendly. Would definitely return.

Great Getaway
This cottage was just what we needed to enjoy and relax during our week off from work. The view from the screened-in porch was breathtaking and probably where we spent most of our time, just reading and taking in the random sightings of wildlife (whales, rabbits and a variety of birds).

Great!
We stayed here about 10-11 years ago, and the improvements to the property were great (additional bedroom w/great ocean view, screened-in porch and an additional deck). We liked it 11 years ago and liked it even more this time. Still has spectacular water & wildlife views! Never did figure out the TV.

Perfect getaway!
We had a lovely visit to Campobello with our boys for the marathon weekend. Gorgeous sunsets, comfortable bed, and a perfect away-from-it-all feel. The kids especially loved the Eagles Nest, and next time we would try to eat a meal down there. We must have been too early to see whales which is our only regret!

Stellar in all ways!
This was our first trip to Campobello Island and boy did we pick the right place to stay. The views are jaw dropping and ever changing. The cottage was cozy, clean and comfortable. The new deck and the screen room are great hangouts with sunsets that knock you out. The gazebo down nearer to the water is over the top. Whale watches right down the street and the island is a must see for natural beauty and serenity. We were a bit early to see the big whales but on the whale watch we did see 3 Minke's and seals and porpoises. Eagles flying overhead every day. What a place! Do not hesitate-really.

Outstanding and Restorative to the Soul - What a Gem!
Our time on Campobello could not have been better. The Haires are splendid hosts and could not have been more accommodating. Despite a slight glitch in booking that had the cottage not ready the first day due to a recent remodeling project, Dennis and Margaret absolutely went above and beyond to ensure we could stay in one of their other cottages that night and then move to the Whale of a View or stay in the alternative if we preferred. (Options!) The cottages are not fancy, but each is fully equipped with everything you might need and situated to take in the fantastic views and still allow a sense of privacy. The Whale of a View totally earns its name.
We enjoyed the many books on the history of the area and the island. When not tucked in at the cottage reading, watching the lobster boats below and the eagles above, we hiked the many trails at the Roosevelt Park and hit the shores to search for sea glass. Found lots of it! It was still quite chilly in late April, so we made use of the firepit while watching the sunset on evenings when it wasn’t too windy. On clear nights, the stars are amazing.
Thank you, Dennis and Margaret for your hospitality and care. We can’t wait to return during the season so we can watch for whales from the comfort of one of your very special cottages!

Cosy cottage
We spent about 3 days here during the second week in October. It is an older cottage, but extremely cosy. Due to the lateness of the season, restaurant and boat activity was minimal, but we enjoyed exploring the island in the car and on foot. The views of the ocean both from the cottage and as you hike around, are beautiful.

The most amazing little cottage with terrific views
The cottage was perfect for our needs and we loved our stay. The bathroom facilities need a little updating but absolutely usable and adequate for our needs. The position of the cottage is its shining star and the wildlife outside the window is all the entertainment you could need. We would happily recommend this cottage to anyone who is looking for the perfect relaxation getaway.
