“We’ve been coming to New Bedford for the holidays for many years but this was the first time we needed to find a place to stay and The Whalehouse was truly a home away from home! So beautifully decorated, and we had all the amenities we could need in the kitchen to cook a Christmas dinner for our family. The location is also incredibly walkable. Aurora and Brendan were great hosts and we hope to stay at the Whalehouse anytime we are in New Bedford in the future.” - Mika, guest

“I’d followed the Whalehouse for years online and knew it had been sold. With an event in New Bedford, it was the perfect time to go. I feel so lucky to have stayed. It’s an incredible house in a gorgeous neighborhood. Every detail is so well considered. It’s both beautifully decorated and comfortable. I only wish we could have stayed longer. I hope to come back for a girls’ weekend or family event in the warmer months when we could use the spacious patio as well. It would be perfect for a big family get together. The best Airbnb I’ve stayed in, which is a lot. Do not hesitate to go—the new owners seem just as accommodating as the old ones! Aurora was very responsive when needed and I appreciated being able to check myself in without worrying about holding the host up.” - Kirsten, guest
