I own, The Whalehouse, a grand Victorian built in 1855 in historic New Bedford, Massachusetts. It's the former home of Herman Melville’s sister, and it's said this is where he used to stay when visiting her. I purchased the home in 2015 and have been meticulously restoring it since.
I divided the estate into two sections: The Main House and The Guest Suite. Both spaces I rent as short term vacation rentals, and also as photo and film shoot locations. I am a 4 year Superhost, and have had hundreds of guests come through the doors to discover the beauty of this house and New Bedford.
The Whalehouse has been seen on Hulu, 20/20, ABC News, A&E, DiscoveryID and more. Recently featured in the New York Times Travel, and named Top 10 Best Getaways in the Southcoast and Rhode Island by Southcoast Almanac.
