Very clean and cozy beach house
5/5 We recently stayed at this house for Memorial Day weekend and it was fabulous! It exceeded our expectations in many areas. The house itself was spotless, stylish and well equipped. Very good communication from the owner and host. No issues with the cooling or anything else. Beds were very comfortable! Will stay again.

Beautiful Home, Close to the Beach
5/5 Stayed the weekend with some friends, to be close by my son after Prom. Place was perfect, clean, and beautiful. Corn hole boards were perfect for our quick stay. House was fully stocked with anything you may need. Has plenty of room. Would definitely stay here again.

A family tradition
5/5 Every year we go to the beach for my nephews birthday and this year we booked a cabin a little early but I knew it would be spring break and wanted a decent one. Whale of a tale was a beautiful home! Spacious and perfect for my family and my parents to stay for the extended weekend! The owners had great communication and the home was stocked very well!! We loved the assortment of toys and chairs and options for just hanging out!

Great cozy house
5/5 The house is very nice and comfortable. We will definitely be back. It has everything you need for a great weekend. Just a short walk from the beach. The host is awesome too. The couch in the living room is way too comfy, so don’t lay down if your not ready to fall asleep!
