10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026
Wonderful house and so well equipped. Some stuff needs to be updated, like broken beach chairs, non working bikes and old beach toys. Other then that this place was perfect!
They answered our every question and were always very quick to respond and helpful. 10/10

The Whale Cottage is the most outstanding property we have stayed at. The hosts are incredibly helpful and thoughtful. Traffic caused us to get there much later than expected, but it was easy to get in and we immediately felt at home. They had water bottles, kids cups, and a bag set out for us! They supplied extra toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, hand soap, dish soap, and even feminine hygiene products. Everything was super clean, extra towels and beach towels were already available to us. The beds were very comfortable! The entertainment center was packed with an array of games, kids toys in the trunk, foosball and an arcade game downstairs, and outdoor games under the deck. Our family enjoyed a bike ride through the calm neighborhood, and frequently walked across the street to the beach to collect sea shells. Jose and Jennifer recommended some fantastic places to eat that were very close by. We can’t wait to come back! Thank you for sharing your amazing house!

The location is amazing and the house was perfect. Even though it was chilly and windy we were cozy and happy on our trip. We still found time to enjoy the beach and it’s super accessible and the house had all we needed to enjoy our time. The major win was the double washer and dryers, game changer if you are traveling with kiddos!
