Great location, great owners

The home is located less than a mile from all of the main bars/restaurants. We rented golf carts to get around for the weekend and it was perfect. Had a couple small issues but the hosts were very responsive if needed and offered to help any way they could. Would stay again

Whale House

This was the perfect place for our family to stay over Christmas. We used the pool and hot tub almost daily and we did a lot of cooking. We had great space with the two kitchens, but there was room for all of us to eat together upstairs. Nichole was very responsive to any questions or issues that we had. Overall, we had a great time there!
