Weekend of fun

I want to thank y'all for the best wedding. This house is beautiful and has a lot of room. We could not get the music going inside the house. We just might have to save up and stay there again, or maybe a smaller place for just my husband and me.

True On the Beach Experience

If you're looking for a true in the beach vacation, look no further. Wake up to a sunrise on the deck, walk to the beach and hangout for the day, enjoy the views in the evening, watch movies at night in front of the massive outdoor bar area or while relaxing in the hot tub. Great house, fun location!

October Anniversary

The house was clean and welcoming. Plenty of lighting in each room. The bunk room was a nice feature for additional guests. The tiki bar area with the television, hot tub, and second kitchen was great. Great view of the ocean and sunrise/sunset on the top floor. Having a lift would help with carrying belongings up and down the stairs since there are 2 sets of stairs. Kitchen was fully equipped with all necessary utensils. Refrigerators worked great. Beds and bedding were comfortable. AC worked great.Thank you

Excellent - 5 Stars

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Waves and Whiskey! The private access to the beach was a game-changer — it made everything so convenient and allowed us to spend hours by the water without any hassle. The location is perfect, offering breathtaking views right from the property. The downstairs room was fantastic for the kids, giving them their own space to hang out and enjoy the beach vibe. We especially loved the kitchen on the bottom floor, which made it super easy and convenient to relax and hang at the bar. There's truly nothing better than soaking in a hot tub while taking in the incredible view of the ocean. It was the perfect way to unwind after a day on the beach. Overall, Waves and Whiskey exceeded our expectations, and we can't wait to come back. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a relaxing, beachside escape!
