Enjoyed the spaciousness of the home. Our family of 10 was able to have separate bedrooms and all the beds were comfortable. House was clean. With some cooler days, the Hot tub and heated pool allowed us to still enjoy our time outdoors.

Good location, nice neighborhood and spacious accommodations.Unfortunately, needs some minor maintenance and the carpet is very dirty, which is the first thing you see when you get in.

Whale House

This was the perfect place for our family to stay over Christmas. We used the pool and hot tub almost daily and we did a lot of cooking. We had great space with the two kitchens, but there was room for all of us to eat together upstairs. Nichole was very responsive to any questions or issues that we had. Overall, we had a great time there!

the house provided all the space needed for multi family vacation; extra household appliances in kitchen that were helpful host provided plenty of dish tabs and trash bags house several beach accessories available for use (umbrella wagon) that was not expected so we had brought our own. Pool and hot tub were well maintained. there were some plates that were dirty from previous renters we washed, and a few updates needed. Upon arrival there were not enough towels to shower for our group, but owner responded and sent housekeeping over the next morning with more. Overall a good experience

Whale experience

Beautiful home located in a convenient location to restaurants, shopping and fun entertainment. This house is very spacious and has everything needed for home away from home. It has its own personal oasis in the backyard. We will miss the beautiful pool the most. We will definitely plan another trip to visit this house.
