Great place to stay !
The condo was clean and comfortable .
The booking process was easy and convenient communication through email with all the information needed .
We loved the quiet location and had a great time enjoying the pool on a hot day !
If you do not do well with steps this room would not be for you , but we had no problems with them at all and liked that this room was at the bottom of the hill close to the woods and wildlife .
Quiet location but not a far drive to Silver Dollar City or on into Branson .
We hope to return so we can enjoy the mini golf !
Worst experience ever
I booked a room months in advance for a concert. I was notified two days before check in that they had accidentally double booked and mine was cancelled. Two days before. Literally the worst booking site I’ve ever used. Do not recommend unless you enjoy your trip being ruined two days before.
Updated to add: Whimstay offered a credit of $25. I said that’s unacceptable so they upped it to a $50 credit. There’s no way I could ever trust this company to book with again so the credit means nothing to me. Also—the customer rep told me that the other booking was made 3 minutes before mine and the computer didn’t shut it down as an option for me when it should have. Whimstay keeps blaming the host but something doesn’t add up. I booked this room in February. My check in is supposed to be tomorrow (7/15). Yes, Whimstay sent me a “custom” list of venue options MILES away from where I had initially planned on staying. Thanks for doing a 2 second search. Appreciate your “efforts.” Supposedly they refunded the full amount but it has yet to show up in my bank account. I know it can take 5-10 days but that doesn’t help me right now to pay for alternate accommodations. Their booking system is flawed and needs an overhaul if they plan to stay in business.

I had a great experience with Whimstay
I had a great experience with Whimstay! Their customer support is really good —they respond very quickly and are always helpful with any questions or issues. They offer best prices on vacation rentals. I recommend Whimstay to anyone looking for great deals and excellent customer service!
Listing was as it was described
Listing was as it was described. Great location and within budget. The room was clean and we got down early and was able to check in early. I would book through them again.
The booking process and communication…
The booking process and communication were clear and simple! Everything was exactly as described.
Easy booking
Easy booking. The place was very nice just like the pictures. The house had everything we needed for the beach. It was close to everything.
Booking Made Easy
Booking our trip was easy. We received timely reminders and information regarding our trip and what to expect. The location we booked was better than even described. My husband and I are looking forward to booking our next trip with Whimstay. We plan on going back to Wimberly. We had a wonderful experience.
The view was amazing watching hawks…
The view was amazing watching hawks gliding up and down the valley. The home was spotless, easy check-in and check-out. Tubing less than 5mins away. Buc-ee's 15 miles away. All around great stay.

Amazing Customer Service
Experienced a set back with my trip. However, Daniel went above and beyond to help me. The fact that I got a real person instead of AI was nice, but even more important is that fact he walked me through step by step to resolve my issue. A gentle reminder that good people are still out there in this world. Good job Whimstay.

First time user - but not last
First time user of Whimstay and very pleased. Found a great property at a reasonable price and all communications were timely and clear.
Excellent choice.
I was very, very pleased with the quality and location of the apartment I rented. I found the rental and access process a bit cumbersome, but in the end it was fine. I think some of it is getting with the modern way. I had to follow a lot of instructions to access a box to access a fob to access the gate to get an access code to enter the apartment to get the apartment key and it all seemed a bit much. After that was done it was quite easy. The apartment was lovely, the pool was beautiful, and the location perfect. It was pet friendly and we could walk the dog on a nice walk to a nearby coffee shop that was great. We were near the Tampa walking path and that was great. And the restaurants in the neighborhood also very good.
I don't know if I'll be back to Tampa soon, but if I was, that would be where I'd want to stay.
We love the location
We love the location. It’s close to shopping and the beach. The house was super clean. We couldn’t have asked for a better vacation.
