Amazing relaxing trip

What a beautiful place to recharge and enjoy family , sun and beaches . We couldn't chose a better place to stay . The pool was so fun for the kids and so very relaxing listening to the live band in the evening just across the street and drinking coffee by the pool in the morning . We absolutely loved our stay ♥️

We had a great stay at this pool home. The pool and patio was a great place to relax. The location was prefect with lots of restaurants and shops close by. And the beach was a short walk away.

Perfect Oasis

This is the ideal place to stay while visiting PCB. The house is roomy & clean while the pool area feels like your own personal paradise. We sat out around the pool & grilled at night for the perfect ending to the day.

Be ready to fall in love!

I can’t say enough good things about our stay at Whale of a Good Time. We felt so at home and found everything we needed at the cottage. Mary was fast to respond to any questions we had during our stay. We enjoyed having a private backyard pool area all to ourselves with the convenient outdoor shower and bathroom. Do yourself a favor and stay here!

We had a great time. The beach was awesome.

I wish the TV's were more modern, and more of them. The pool needs work for sure, but nothing we couldn't deal with. Our grandchildren loved the pool without a doubt. The short walk to the beach would've been better if we didn't have to walk between 12 smelly large trash cans from the local condos. The property was really good for our stay.

Cozy and perfect

After a year of working from home, my best friend and I needed this PERFECT spot for a weekend before heading back to work. I cannot stress enough how awesome this cottage was. Short walk to the beach, music playing next door while we lounged by the pool during the afternoon. Tidy, adorable and I will definitely keep it on my list for future vacations! Thanks for the much needed peace of mind!

Hidden gem

This was our favorite property in 9 years of renting in pcb. Mary has thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. The landscaping is lavish,all kinds of birds,lizards and butterflies because of the landscaping. Made for relaxing days in the pool listening to the music from the bar next door. The beds are comfortable,the beach is so close and not crowded. Outdoor shower and extra bathroom was a plus. Loved all tge outdoor,seating. Can't wait to return.

Wonderful

The property is so cute, clean and has everything you need. We enjoyed getting away from it all and just relaxing. Just what 2 working professionals needed. We haven't had any time off in a year and a half due to the pandemic and wanted a place that made us feel away from it all but close to things if we wanted to go. The garden with the pool was just the ticket. It is beautiful and made relaxing all day a breeze. Thank you for a wonderful vacation home to unwind and decompress. Highly recommended.

About the host

Hosted by Mary Donaldson

Owners, Mary & Kenneth Donaldson reside in Atlanta Georgia. Having purchased the beach cottage in 2003, it was completely re-modeled, landscaping & pool installed in 2004.
Mary is a retired Mortgage Banker and Kenneth is a retired professional architect.

Why they chose this property

It just feels like vacation!
It is the classic example of "COTTAGE BY THE SEA". a step back to a slower time when families enjoyed each others company. A place you can sit back and enjoy your morning coffee under the patio fans, and listen to the tinkle of the fountain in the garden.
It's a place you can feel like belongs just to you----
not a copy of the condo next door,------
even if it is, for just a few days.

What makes this property unique

Excellent location!
Private patio & pool with Fountain in Beach Garden Setting
