The view was amazing! This was a great house for my husband and me, our three adult children and one grandchild. There was plenty of room, nice activities (ping pong and hot tub), and you can walk to the beach! I highly recommend this house. Host was very responsive when we couldn’t find sheets for couch bed

The views are magnificent from almost every room upstairs. It was very windy while we were there, so there was little beach time and the views made all the difference. Staff (Stace and Amanda) were great and check in was easy and we were fully aware of the driveway entrance before we arrived, so that was all good. The ambience was great and the beds were comfortable. We had hoped for a better game room - especially because we really couldn’t go to the beach. Game room was in the garage and ping pong was only playable with the garage door closed to avoid balls getting lost down the driveway - which was kind of claustrophobic. Overall, we had a great time and would rent Whale Watch again.

Great weekend Getaway!

Perfect space for our family-very spacious. Kids loved all the games. Only thing that was challenging was the shower in both bathrooms-the knobs spin all the way around, which made it hard to find the hot/cold side. Driveway was tricky as it stated, but overall it was a great house, would definitely recommend.
