My experience with Whimstay has been amazing. The website & finding a booking & then your stay info were easy to navigate. Customer service was great to deal with & communication with your host is made easy as well. The price was hands-down unbeatable. I am glad that I summed up on their website. I will be using them again.

My first time discovering Whimstay and I’m very pleased with the booking service and the pricing of the rentals. I will be skipping VRBO and Airbnb for my next return trip to the coast

Great communication!
Whimstay sent emails prior to the trip letting us know we could reach out anytime! This allowed us to remain confident about our stay, even when the rental property’s process was to contact us just the day of our stay.

Easy to use
Easy to use, and excellent customer service. It was my first time renting a vacation condo and they made the process so smooth. Super user friendly, and they even have methods to pay in installments if you want to. 10/10 would definitely recommend.

Avoid Whimstay
Avoid Whimstay — extremely concerning experience
In my experience, Whimstay has handled my cancellation in a way that feels deceptive and unacceptable.
I was told by their support team that my reservation would be canceled. I followed up multiple times by email to confirm this, received no confirmation, and later discovered that nothing had actually been canceled. I was ultimately forced to cancel the reservation myself.
Despite this, Whimstay has continued to hold my money, has not issued a refund, and is attempting to retain a service fee even though the service they represented was never performed. At this point, my funds are effectively being held hostage while I’m repeatedly told to “confirm” actions that should have already been completed.
I’ve waited days with no refund, no resolution, and conflicting explanations from support. The lack of accountability and shifting responsibility is alarming. I am now being forced to dispute the charge through my credit card company.
I strongly recommend avoiding Whimstay. If something goes wrong, be prepared to fight to get your own money back.
I still have not received a refund, nor has my trip been cancelled. I will likely be filing a lawsuit.
