Amazing property right on the beach. This house was the perfect fit for our large family and had everything we needed for a fun enjoyable stay. Communication with the host was great and amenities were on point. Would love to visit again.
Location was terrific, loved the beach. Home was fine, it certainly accommodated multiple people. The home had some dated features, but I would rent again!
First, the house is on the beach so that we can wake up to sunrise every morning.Second, the house is large enough that the 11 of us can be together in the main room and kitchen area, or we can have sufficient space for time alone in the large, well-furnished bedrooms.
Great spot for New Smyrna Beach. View is incredible, and we all enjoyed an 8 night trip.

Right on the beach, house is great size with a space downstairs for the teens to hang out. The kitchen has everything we needed. The house is a little older, but in good shape inside. We hope to visit again!
We sincerely enjoyed our recent stay at the "Whale House" at NSB. The layout of multiple sleeping options and the wide open, comfortable common area was perfect for our large family, week long celebration. Additionally, the provisions were even better then explained or expected. Finally, the host was incredibly caring, responsive and understanding of the needs of our perfect stay. Initially, I was slightly hesitant due to what I felt was a high expense, but once there, with the comfort, provisions, beautiful large outdoor back porch, literally stepping onto the sands of the beach - it was worth every penny and perfectly priced! Several previous reviews noted slightly outdated areas of the home and/or older furnishings/appliances. We actually found this comforting and slight. We felt we could relax and enjoy an "at home" leisurely comfortable stay and focus on each other instead of a stuffy environment. All 13 of us - from the age of 2 to 64 - had a wonderful time and never felt "on top of each other". Several had to come and go throughout the week and found it a joy to return. I highly recommend this home for it is very comfortable, spread out, quiet and perfectly located.
The location and parking were great. It was close to shopping and restaurants. The house was adequately stocked with dishes and linens. There were a few areas of the house that could have been cleaner but overall it was acceptable. The whole family enjoyed our vacation in NSB.
Family of all ages enjoyed our stay. Great location, nice house, amazing views from the house. Excellent communication with property managers. It was our 2nd time visiting.
This property was perfect in spacing and is my favorite location on New Smyrna Beach. We all enjoyed the access to the ocean, walking to the jetty, Breakers and Flagler Avenue.
We are so glad to hear you enjoyed everything from the exceptional fishing to the excellent accommodations at the Gray Whale, Thomas. Thank you for highlighting your favorite features from your recent stay here with us, and we hope to see you all again soon for another fantastic, five-star stay at our big and beautiful beachfront getaway- the Gray Whale!
