About this property

Welcome to "Oh Whale" beach rental!

Come experience the breathtaking view of a sunset from our porch overlooking the bay! Our property is situated on 2.5 secluded lots on the bay side of the Highway 87. Unlike a beachside residence that can be noisy and crowded, the bayside is peaceful and offers a slower pace of life with minimal traffic. You will have ample space to park multiple vehicles and trailers, allowing you the flexibility of bringing along your boats, carts, and buggies. A golf cart rental company is available within walking distance, and many amenities are accessible by a fun golf cart ride away! For beach enthusiasts, cross the Highway 87 to arrive promptly at a direct beach access road for a day on the beach or enjoy some fantastic live music, food, and drinks at Nauti's Beaver Hut.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Thank you, Ryan and Josh, for being such wonderful hosts. The house is so clean and close to everything, and Ryan was helpful when we needed it. We would stay again if the house is not sold.

We absolutely loved our stay at this beach house! The location was perfect, and the house itself was beautiful, incredibly clean, and so spacious. There was plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy our time together without feeling crowded.One of our favorite things about the location was that it was just down the street from our family, which made the stay even more special and convenient. Being so close to the beach and having family nearby made it feel like the perfect getaway.We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back again. We highly recommend this beach house to anyone looking for a clean, spacious, comfortable place in a great location!

Quiet from the craziness

Wife and I came to experience Jeep Weekend. This was the perfect place to get away from the craziness of a packed beach. Very clean, everything we could have wanted was ready and waiting. The patio is beautiful we will be back to enjoy it when the mosquitoes decide it isn’t open season on people. You wont regret renting this beautiful home!

There were no address #'s on the house...so that was the 1st small issue. Then the code to the lockbox given on the check-in instructions was not accurate. Had to contact the host for clarification. Other than that, the house was beautiful and fit our needs perfectly for the weekend. (another small issue: the water faucet under the house should be screwed in better..it is a loose and could possibly be damaged by a renter}
