Last Minute Beach Getaway

We decided last minute for a quick 3 night beach trip and Whale 2 was our choice. The location was perfect and it has all the necessities needed for a beach getaway. It’s conveniently located for walking distance to many restaurants and the beach is only steps away. Everything is recently remodeled, super clean, and the property uses 100% of the available space to maximize usage. It’s small but you will not be missing anything. Bathrooms are large given the space and they owners are very pet friendly with pet towels available. Love having beach wagon, chairs and umbrella… so you don’t have to pack extra. We will definitely be back on our short trip getaways. Thanks again!

Father's Day

My sister, brother and I stayed in this perfect beach cottage for a sibling get together on Father's Day weekend. Our 85 year old Dad lives in Jacksonvile, so we were able to spend the day with him.This place was perfect. It is exactly as described and in the pictures. So close to the beach with plenty of beach chairs, towels coolers, anything you need. The beds were so comfortable, I had the best sleep in a long time. The filtered water and oce maker was a life saver since it was so hot.Chris was very quick to answer when I had a question. This is a big plus.This will be a place I will want to stay everytime.

Whale Beach Cottage

The cottage was lovely, however the air conditioner could not be turned below 75 degrees. There was a dehumidifier that had to be emptied every couple of hours. The dehumidifier and air purifier ran constantly and was rather noisy. Also, there was a distinct musty odor that was very noticeable.

Great location but small

The location is great! We used to live in Jax and this is close to a lot of restaurants and the beach. Parking was easy and close. Be aware that you’re on the back property (that wasn’t clearly disclosed to us). It is very small. We are a family of 5 with 3 kids between the ages of 5-11 and it was very tight. There is a beach cart, cooler and chairs but you will need to bring other items like an umbrella, boogie boards, buckets and shovels if you have kids. The kitchen was bare minimum- oil Spray for pans but that’s it - if you want to cook, you’ll need to bring a lot. There was no cookie/baking sheet. The air conditioners need to be kept at a certain temperature otherwise they will leak so it can get warm & stuffy. Somewhat pricey for the size compared tonight VRBO’s.

Adorable Little Property Just Steps From the Beach!

The property was perfectly sized for my family of four (two teenage boys, my husband, and myself.) Everything was clean and modern, and the keyless entry made everything so smooth and convenient. The courtyard was perfect because we could leave all our beach stuff out under an overhang. Nothing got wet in the rain, and we never had to drag sandy stuff in to the unit. It is literally a 1/2 block to the beach from the unit, and there is a ramp to get across the wide stretch of sand at the entrance. I couldn't have asked for an easier walk! Overall, we were very pleased with the location, the manager, and the experience overall. Highly recommend!

Finishing out our stay

We moved into this property as we had to extend our stay in Jacksonville beach due to my husband’s job and our rental until this time was already booked. It’s a cute little house and really close to the beach and with in walking distance to shops and restaurants. If you fill all the beds in this rental you will be a little cramped on space when eating but it worked for my husband and me.

Perfect Beach Getaway

Adorable, comfortable, and functional! Small but functional for our group of 5. Great location - literally 2 min walk to the sand. Beach goodies provided - beach chairs, umbrella, canopy, and beach wagon! Our pug loved the entirely enclosed courtyard! We sat out in the courtyard every night, enjoying the beach vibes. (Bug spray recommended - FL has mosquitoes.). Master bed and bath very comfortable. Second bedroom and bath was great for sleeping. Kitchen was adorably appointed, with everything you need to cook your own meals (except the food), which we did every night of our stay. The living room area was a bit small for our group, but only while watching TV, which we didn’t do very much. Chris was very communicative and responsive to our needs. Highly recommend! Would love to return!
