Really nice house close to the beach. The pool would get really crowded at times and the walk to the beach can be tiring with small kids.

We spent 28 days at Whimsical Way. Our stay was excellent. The house was very clean and communications with the host good. Access to the beach was a short walk across a street to a new walkway.

Everything was great! We had a wonderful time. I love the location would definitely see her again if I had a chance. I would like to note that the listing does say that there are three king size beds, but there are only two. We love the pool out front and the location was amazing!!

Great house, super clean!!

We would definitely stay here again, the house was a perfect fit for our group of 10, and it was super clean! It was a bit of a hike to the beach since part of our group was two and three-year-olds, and they just require so much more heading to the beach like a hand held, being carried, or in the wagon, but not too long of a walk when the group is self sufficient on taking their own stuff.

Thank you so much for your kind review on our cottage rental at Whimsical Way! We're glad the house was a perfect fit for your group and that everything was clean and comfortable for your stay. We know beach trips with little ones can take a bit more planning, so we appreciate you sharing that perspective. It’s great to hear the walk was manageable overall, and we’d be happy to welcome you back anytime! Warm regards, the Bella Beach Team
