    Stayed 3 nights at this apartment and it was wonderful! The apartment is clean, beds were so comfortable and it had all the amenities you could think of to make this trip a special one. The place overlooks the beach and water, which was perfect. We enjoyed drinking our coffee on the balcony and taking in the water scenery. We will definitely be back to visit!

    It was top shelf! Everything was very clean. I loved the little details, like roses on the TP roll. Bow on the PT roll and such. Loved the balcony, could watch the sun rise and people catching fish on the pier. Thank you so much for a lovely stay. The steps were alittle challenging because of health reasons, but well worth it. Hope to be back soon.

    Very clean, still smells new. Right on the water and near things to do when it’s the on season. Off season there’s not much around to do.

    Courtney was very responsive and helpful. The condo is in a fantastic location! Our only thought was the living room furniture could be more comfortable. It’s nice but nowhere to put your feet up

    The Beached Whale was an amazing find! The condo was beautiful and very clean and you could NOT beat the views. The location was perfect. We were sad this trip was so short and cannot wait to return.

    Unit was super clean, great location and view. Nice and big.Only negatives:1. Over 2 restaurants, not smelly or noise for us but one was closed and it was off season.2. Hot water was barely hot enough. Should be hotter.3 Now the biggie, there is a very loud fan (or motor or compressor) noise in the MBR and MBR Bath. Some times the wall behind the toilet actually rattles. This noise is constant all day long! You get used to it and can eventually sleep, but....

    We had a wonderful stay at the Beached Whale and would highly recommend it. The condo has a great view of the water and everything that you need including linens, tvs, cookware, etc. The host is very nice and quickly responds. Can’t wait to visit again.

    Very clean and cozy home located in a great location - walking distance to many restaurants and attractions. The venue next door (Tiki Hut/High Tides) had live bands, but they weren't loud at all. Would stay here again.

    WOW!That just about sums up this property.Our stay was almost perfect (will mention a few negatives at the end of this review)The unit itself was very clean and pretty much matches the pictures in the listing. The beds were comfortable and the supplied linens and towels were very nice as well.The kitchen is well stocked as well.Courtney was a pleasure to deal with and there were no issues with check-in or anything else on her end.Only a couple minor issues (which would not stop us from visiting again)- there is a constant droning sound from the roof area above the master bedroom. I believe it is from the AC units that are on the roof (as well as the exhaust systems from the first floor restaurants) There is a sound machine included in that BR, but we sort of were able to just get 'used to it'.- You can hear the live music from the High Tides facility next door, but it does end at 11PM and with the windows closed it's not overbearing.- Lastly, the way they numbered the parking spots in the parking lot, makes no sense at all. The spot for this unit is in front of another stair case and not the stairs for this unit. Would love to hear the explanantion for why they numbered as they did.Anyway, as you can see, none of those issues are anything the owner has any control over.Definitely recommend staying here if in the area.Don't think you'll be disappointed.PS - the TV in the dining area does pull out from the wall, and can be angled towards the LR. Nice touch!

    This unit is perfect for a getaway for a couple or friends. The balcony and primary bedroom have beach views, and there is outdoor seating for coffee or conversation. Several dining options are nearby, and there is also as a full kitchen if you want to stay in. Impeccably clean and comfortably furnished with very responsive management.

    The Beached Whale is a beautiful, clean and comfortable condo! My family had a great time! MyWife enjoyed watching the sunrise from the beach front view. The location is perfect with restaurants right below and others within walking distance. The host, Courtney is extremely friendly and accommodating. My wife and I are already trying to figure out a date this summer that we can return.
