Owner called to let us know we could get in early, which was greatly appreciated. The home is small but they have used the space very well. Bathrooms had plenty of towels and all the products for showering, etc. kitchen was also well equipped with everything we needed. The decor and updates were the perfect beach vibe. Beach buggy, chairs, beach bag and small cooler were all there. Very convenient.Overall, we enjoyed our time being just a short walk to the beach!

Awesome place and location!

Place was as advertised and more. Perfect location less than 1 block from the beach and Jax beach bars/restaurants. The 2 full baths is a huge plus if you are staying with a few people. We will definitely be looking to re-book this place in the future!

Steps from the beach

The Whale 2 Cottage is at the back of the lot, on which the owner owns both cottages. This makes the cottage feel very secluded. The shared courtyard features chairs, a garden, beautiful flowers, and space for BBQing. I loved having a huge shower and a fabulous W/D set. May return to rent both cottages with another family.
