Perfect Stay with Breathtaking Views! Whale Rider was absolutely wonderful! The views are breathtaking, and the comfy balcony quickly became our favorite spot. We saw dolphins every single morning right from the balcony—such an amazing way to start the day! The condo was perfect for three couples, giving everyone plenty of space and privacy. It was also stocked with plenty of beachy items, which made our time on the beach so easy and enjoyable. The location couldn’t be better—close enough to great restaurants and bars, but far enough away from the hustle and bustle to truly relax. There’s an amazing restaurant right next door, and Zeke’s Landing is an absolute MUST—the food was AMAZING! If you’re there on Sunday, definitely check out Worship on the Water at the Flora-Bama Bar. It was such a special experience and a wonderful addition to our trip. We loved our stay at Whale Rider and would absolutely stay here again. Beautiful views, great location, plenty of space, dolphins, great

I loved staying here and will book again in the future. It was in a good location and unlike most condos this one was fully stocked with everything you needed. It had plenty of beach towels and all your necessities ( laundry soap, dish pods, paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags, etc) so there was no need to pack or buy it. The host was very responsive and the condo was clean and felt very homey. The only two things I would have to complain about is the floors in the condo and parking. The floors didn’t seem to ever be mopped and smaller vehicles are supposed to park on the upper levels and that was NEVER the case. We had 2 trucks that would not fit up there on the upper level and one night we had to park in a handicap spot because it was the only thing available. We looked for security, but wasn’t able to find him. That rule should be strictly enforced! Overall it was a great stay and I will be back!

We had some significant trouble with the keypad lock on the first night, causing us to br unable to leave the condo and at one point, getting locked out. Through this, the hosting company was challenging to communicate with - taking 20-30 minutes to respond to each message, etc. Fortunately, the owners of the condo were monitoring the chat and remotely unlocked the door for us. And, the next morning, they drove to the condo and replaced the lock. They were absolutely wonderful to communicate with. The keypad was a random mechanical issue, which doesn't reflect the true property - the most frustrating part was the management company's communication. The condo itself was beautiful and we would certainly stay again! It was hard to leave such an amazing view! The balcony is huge, tons of very nice seating, great condition overall. 10/10, definitely recommend!
