You can’t beat the direct ocean view from almost anywhere in the house absolutely outstanding! For a weeks stay need larger refrigerator to hold our food cooked most meals there. Comfortable upstairs to eat ocean views and relax and whale watching in the recliners with coffee and gas fireplace fantastic will come again! Great for our Boston terrier as well with large deck and grassy area to explore!

Overall views were amazing. But there was urine stains upstairs. Smelled when we first got there. Downstairs area is very small. There is not light at night if you are taking a dog out or going out.

Great view for whale watching, we were able to see them throughout our stay! Easy to find the house and access the lock box. Cute place to stay in. Unfortunately there were tons of baby spiders and large ones as well. Lots of cob webs throughout the house, that was a little off putting.

This place has incredible views! Everywhere you look, there are amazing views. It is awkwardly designed. The kitchen is tiny. The bedroom is on the ground floor with the bathroom and the kitchen. The family room upstairs is cozy and has a comfortable bed, board games, and recliners facing the whales. The place was a bit dirty when we got there, and there were stains on the carpeting. It wasn't a huge deal, but it was noteworthy. It was also pretty expensive for the quality of the accommodations. For example, there was no blow dryer, and the kitchen was below par. The neighborhood was quiet and neighbors friendly. It is a short drive to groceries, restaurants, and tourist attractions. We would definitely stay here again for the views alone.

The views were absolutely incredible, we could have just sat in front of the window all day. The house was great too, kitchen was a little small for folks that like to cook and the fridge is incredibly small … not ideal for longer stays unless you plan on eating out most days (unfortunate because the views are so amazing ) :) we will definitely be back!!

We can't say enough about the amazing view from every window in this property. Loved sitting on the deck and just looking out on the water. The loft area has plenty of games, dvds, etc. Comfortable beds and plenty of room.
