The house being right on the beach was a dream! Plenty of space and it has everything you need! Super easy check in and out process. We loved our stay!!
The location of this property is impeccable. My 70 year old parents loved it as well, they usually prefer the mountains but have decided theyâre also beach people now. My 10 year old daughter was in heaven being able to take her dog on this trip with us, and having the beach as her yard for the weekend. This was the perfect trip for us.
Had a great stay. Loved the location. Furnished with anything we needed. Tub could've been cleaner. Recliner in living room was broken and shouldnt have been there. Very bad mold and neat soiding door. Overall great stay.
House was right on the beach , and easy access from the new deck straight to the beach. When we go to Surfcity for vacation or a weekend getaway I love this house itâs very close to a lot of nice restaurants so you never have to leave the island. I highly recommend this house if youâre looking for a vacation place or anytime if you want to getaway. Itâs well worth the money .
The house was so welcoming and very well stocked. Exactly as advertised! I sincerely hope we have an opportunity to stay here again!!! My son was home from deployment in the Army (on leave). He said mama âbest Thanksgiving everâ
This house had all we needed to celebrate a birthday weekend with 6 people plus a dog, age range 11 to 78.
The porch right by the surf was fantastic! It also had porch gates all around. Kitchen was set up to cook all our meals.
Great place.
My family absolutely loved our stay here. The location was perfect close to everything and right on the beach. The porch swing was my favorite. Definitely booking again đ
We absolutely love our stay. The view was amazing. Spent most of our time on the beach or on their porch. Quick responce from the owner when I had a question. Would love to go back. Highly recommend.
Wonderful experience.. everything we needed for a great weekend at the beach . Great location and all the necessities needed for a relaxing weekend....literally right on the beach..
Great experience as far as the booking experience also which went so smoothly.
We booked for another visit in a few months ...looking forward to another great time

Was disappointed we were not told about items not available so we had to rent or buy the items
Perfect beach cottage! Very clean and you canât get any closer to the ocean. Pet friendly!Owner was very responsive, as always. I think this is our 4th time at Whale Tail đł and it surely wonât be our last! Love this place!
My husband and I and our pup had another wonderful stay at this beach house. This is actually our third stay and only wish it could have been longer! We especially love the covered porch overlooking the ocean, complete with plenty of chairs and a swing! Close to everything. Looking forward to stay number 4!

When we arrived. We where right on the beach. That was the greatest. Beach was not crowded at all the whole time we were there. Loved it. We will be back. Sun rise was the best. We had a great time.

About the host

I love to sit on the porch swing at this beach house and watch as the seagulls and dophins play. I often spending time here with my children and grandchildren building memories that will last for generations.
Mother passed away at the beginning of 2018 and I cannot bring myself to delete her description. This home has been in our family more than 40 years and we hope that you will enjoy it as much as we do!
