Why they chose this property
We fell in love when we saw The Whale Cottage...We bought this beach house because we love spending time as a family together by the water. We are very happy about our family home and excited to share it with you.
It’s the perfect place to relax, unwind and enjoy each other’s company. The sunsets are beautiful, the waves are calming and you can watch your kids play in the sand for hours on end. Plus, it’s just a short 137 steps from the house so no need to drive or walk far to feel the sand.
