We love the Laughing Whale Cottage and will definitely stay here again. It was perfect for a weekend getaway to the beach. We really enjoyed the shell cleaning station and the containers provided.
We had a great time again at the Laughing Whale cottage. The cottage is always spotlessly clean. We really appreciate the food and drinks they leave for us. This was our fifth stay and we will definitely be back.
This was such a wonderful place! We went for a girls weekend getaway! Place was clean and we were welcomed with a sweet sign as we entered as well as treats and drinks in frig! The host was great!! Had everything there you could possibly need for the beach and was within waking distance! Will definitely be staying here again!
Another great stay. Scott and Mary posted a “Welcome Back, Alex and Janice” sign and left us a huge tray of cookies that we enjoyed all week! The whole place was clean, inside and out, and many amenities like drinks, water, coffee and creamer, and many other things were provided for us. Great hosts!
This property is amazing. The owners are so thoughtful. They have the best location. Everything was wonderful, from the smell of the linens (i want to know what detergent they use) to everything they offer for use while there. If you get the opportunity to stay here, you will LOVE it.
Amazing beach cottage! Exceptionally clean, well maintained and adorably decorated. Conveniently located within steps from the beach and in close proximity to a multitude of restaurants and shops. Owners were extremely helpful and friendly. They’ve thought of everything you would need to enjoy your beach vacation and so much more. Can’t wait to return in 2026!!!
The laughing whale cottage is nothing short of beautiful. Mary and Scott are incredibly accommodating and make sure you have everything there for your stay! From the cleanliness to the high quality beach chairs our family stays here every time we can. We call it our little beach house. Highly recommend to anyone for a getaway.
This beach cottage was perfect for our get away! Scott and Mary provide everything you need and more! We all had a great time and are looking forward to staying again.
We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage again. It was our fourth time there. The location is excellent, the cottage is immaculately clean, and the amenities provided are great. We highly recommend the cottage.
I never write a review, but this property was so sweet and maintained and just made you feel like you were coming to your own beach house. Thank you so much. I will definitely stay here again.! I love it.
All details on the property are well thought out and artistic as well. Personalized welcome with clear instructions/rules. We felt very welcome. The hosts are reachable and very quick to respond and offer help. The location is wonderful. This will remain on our "visit again" list.
Absolutely enjoyed our stay, the cottage was just as stated, super clean, very comfortable bed and had everything that we needed. The host’s could not have been any better. Will be booking again here sometime in the near future, thanks again for a wonderful stay
Comfortable and really close to the beach. The cottage was decorated and designed in a thoughtful way that was both charming and peaceful. The owners were quick to respond to questions, and very kind.
This was our third time staying at the Laughing Whale. We love the location. The cottage is spotless and the amenities are great. The hosts do everything they can to make you comfortable.
To say this home-away-from-home is a delight is an understatement. It is comfortable, welcoming, extremely clean, easy walk to beach, has all the comforts and conveniences one expects and then some. Hosts were very quick to respond to questions. King bed was very comfortable. They want their guests to not only enjoy their stay, but to come back. Extremely satisfied customer.
We love this cottage! We've visited several times and always enjoy our stay. Its about total relaxation and this is it. Scott and Mary are fabulous owners! We'll be back!
We have stayed here several times now and we love it! The owners are so nice and their cottage is wonderful. Everything about it is what we want in a vacation and we hope it never changes. We will definitely be back.
The cottage was perfect for our 5 night stay for two adults and two teenagers. Scott and Mary have thought of everything needed for a perfect stay from beach chairs and beach wagon to coffee and creamer. They even supplied containers to take seashells home! The location was easy to find and close to attractions while still being quiet. We would definitely stay again when coming back to the area.
Such a great place to stay. My wife and I wanted a small weekend getaway and it was the best spot, privacy, and only a block from the beach. We had access to chairs and even had complimentary snacks and a small gift. Will definitely be staying here again, especially when our son arrives.
Great rental property with very thoughtful owners. Super clean

About the host
Hosted by Mary and Scott
Why they chose this property
This house makes you want to slow down with it's friendly old beach style and character and has a great "Happy Beachy Feel". Our friends and family say they literally feel decompressed after walking through the door and we couldn't agree more! We never would've dreamed we could be this close to the beach, and the days spent here are ones of sitting under beach umbrellas with a good book, playing beach games, collecting shells, wine at sunset, BBQing and hanging out under the oaks in the evening, playing cards or games on the enclosed patios until bedtime. It just never gets old:)
What makes this property unique
The house is single level with just 2 short steps to get in back door. You can pull your car within feet of the back door to load and unload. There is plenty of concrete parking, which is rare at the beach. Many of our neighbors live here full time so there is more of a neighborhood feel (and we love our neighbors!). Short walk to several bars/restaurants, ice cream shop.
