Our stay was very enjoyable and the house was perfect for our family’s needs. The golf cart was very handy and made the beach visits super easy. Great host and extremely easy to work with. Definitely recommend this one.
We enjoyed our stay. Our pup loved the fenced in back yard and being able to walk to the beach. The house was welcoming and we really appreciated the kind details over the winter season that our host supplied.
If you are looking for a 3 bedroom house with pool this is a great choice. Close enough to walk to the beach and then come in and enjoy the pool. Couldn’t have enjoyed it more.
Great place for traveling with pups. Fenced yard, plenty of room to roam. Even doggie door for smaller dogs to yard. Easy walk to beach. Owners very accommodating and timely.
This was just as expected, a nice clean and comfortable house near a wonderful beach in walking distance. We really enjoyed the small pool and the nice backyard. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. Would definitely come back again!
Great place and great location! Close to beach and a lot of local restaurants. Nice back yard for the dogs to play in. Friendly people that live in the neighborhood! I would definitely stay there again. Host is great!
Our stay at "Whale of a Tale" was simply perfect. The location, cozy house, private pool, and golf cart made it an ideal vacation spot. Our kids had a blast in the pool, and our dog had a great time in the fenced backyard. We're immensely grateful to Teri and Jerry for their warm welcome and helpfulness throughout our stay. We highly recommend this place for a truly relaxing getaway.
The house is in a good location to the beach and restaurants. We used the golf cart to get around. The owners were close by, and were receptive to answering questions. Overall a nice stay.
This was our 2nd visit to this property and it was perfect both times. It is very close to the beach and the pool and fenced backyard for our dog make it a perfect vacation spot. The owner is very responsive if needed and the home is very clean and has everything needed to enjoy your vacation. We would definitely recommend and book this property again. Thank you so much.
Beautiful, private backyard not only for us but our dog too! Cute, well decorated home.Awesome proximity to the beach, restaurants, & grocery store. Quiet neighborhood. Definitely loved easy travel with the golf cart to the beach with all our beach gear!
Teri is an absolute pleasure to speak with & super helpful!
Oh my goodness!!! If you are looking for a great 3 bedroom house this is it!! Great location, clean, cute pool, and great back yard for relaxing when not at the beach or out sightseeing! Perfect size for our group of 3 adults and 2 children!! I can not say enough great things about this property and the owner!! Great communication!! And… be sure and book the golf cart!! Great to drive around the area and feel like a “local”!! Thank you again for providing such a perfect spot in paradise!!
This house was beautifully decorated inside and out. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen had everything you’d ever need for a family dinner with friends. The pool was clean and the yard was lovely. Our dog had a fenced yard to frolic around the shrubs and trees. The sun shines all day in the backyard. The neighbourhood was friendly and clean. Minutes to the beach and a short drive to restaurants and shopping. 9 minute drive to the PCB Conservation Area where we walked every day with our dog. Perfect location for all of us and we’re coming back next year. This did not disappoint. Fridge had an ice maker which was an added bonus and the water pressure was prefect for a hot shower.
This is our second time we stayed here. The location is great and the golf cart is a must, otherwise, it would be a long walk if you have kids and too much beach stuff. The property owners/managers are so amazing and prompt with any needs! Our family has loved staying here!
Five of us stayed here & we had the best vacation! Beds are very comfortable, pool was nice after getting back from the beach. The golf cart was great for taking everything to the beach! We can’t wait to come back!
