Nice beach house!

Clean, great kitchen, comfortable beds. Plenty of room inside & outside, though a dining room table would have been nice with 8 people. Plenty of towels, nice bathrooms.Short walk or drive to beach, 5-minute drive to a decent little grocery mart. Easy check-in, excellent communication with owner. We enjoyed our stay!

Beach

First day the house was a mess.Pieces of sheet rock and insulation was all over the floor and under the bed. I called the property management and it was quickly cleaned up.Sheet rock and insulation was stacked at the end of the driveway and wind blown through out the front yard, all three days. Not a good trip.

A few days at the beach

Before my husband and I get busy with work for the summer we decided to get away for a few days. We loved the accommodations here at the Blue Whale. Close enough to town for anything we needed yet far enough away. The house upon arrival was very clean, linens were clean and set up very nice. One word to sum it up is perfect! Thanks for sharing your home with us!Hope to be back soon!

The property owner was so kind and the quaint but spacious cabin was clean and well stocked! We didn't want to leave but unfortunately, vacations can't last forever. Luckily, the memories we made there will!

It was perfect for what we needed it for other than the lights on the bottom units shined right inside and it really needs to be updated. The Shower head downstairs didn’t work. The cleanliness of the home was ok but it’s very outdated and doesn’t really look like the pics

great for my family!

My family and I came down for the week and stayed here, it’s pretty close to everything and really quiet neighborhood. I loved the porch and swing and the bedrooms were nice. Only thing you should look out for is when it storms, sometimes the door leaks, but other than that it wasn’t a huge issue and I loved everything else about it.
