The property was in great condition.

We enjoyed our stay at the Whalebone cottage. It was quiet, had a nice pool, awesome beach access with a short walk to the pier, easy check-in and check-out, and the location was convenient to everything! My only complaint was that we couldn't connect to the wifi. We did call the management company who said they would contact the owner and get back to us, we never heard back. I saw this was the same complaint from past guests. All of the other positives outshined that one negative. We will definitely stay here again! ##### Lauren Y. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Kelly M. 5 Jun 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Honest review to hopefully help others. We stay in vacation rentals at this price point quite often so I believe we have realistic expectations. Read the description carefully instead of looking at the pictures. You can’t see the ocean or pool from cottage A. You will receive one bath towel per person. Keep in mind there is no washer or dryer and no housekeeping service to refresh those or bring more. Be prepared to bring or buy beach towels. None are provided, nor are beach chairs or umbrellas, although you can rent from different places down there who deliver and pick up which is convenient. The beds are not the best. Cheap spring mattresses and linens. Our fitted sheet even had a hole in it. Couches are worn and stained. Otherwise, clean. First day after showering I realized there was no hairdryer. We did not pack one because the listing said one was provided. I called guest services and they were polite but offered no ETA and couldn’t reach housekeeping. We were late to meet family due to this and the fact that 3 men showed up to do a fire inspection inside our cottage which was not communicated to us in advance. Glad we were there! The only upside to this was one of them was kind enough to bring me a hairdryer from another unit. Interestingly, Guest Relations told me I couldn’t get one from another unit because they were all occupied. The man told me that was not the case and we were the ONLY occupied cabin, which was evidenced by us being the only car for days. ![Couches. 3 total and all looked like this. Would have laid out towels to sit on if there were any extras. ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5d7e6043-30b9-4058-b91e-042a12bc7f45-1749100257860.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/90b20b65-1cf9-46d5-a73a-7064a5bd65bd-1749100257859.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kelly M.
