This home is ideal for families and groups looking for an easy, comfortable beach stay with space to spread out and everything provided. Located just one block from both the ocean and the bay, the house sits in Brigantine’s quite neighborhood, offering walkable access to the beach, bay, restaurants, shops, and family attractions without the noise and congestion of busier areas.

The home is single-level with only three low steps at the entrance, making it well suited for familieswith young children, grandparents, and multi-generational groups. Inside, the layout is practical and well-balanced, with rooms spaced for privacy and shared areas designed for gathering. There are three bedrooms and two full indoor bathrooms, plus a seasonal outdoor shower (guest favorite!) available May through October.

Sleeping arrangements are flexible and family-friendly. The primary bedroom has a queen bed and space for a crib. The second bedroom also has a queen bed. The third bedroom includes a twin-over-full bunk bed and a full-size futon. A sleeper sofa in the living room provides additional sleeping space when needed. Two full bathrooms help mornings run smoothly for larger groups.

The living area is comfortable and uncluttered, with ample seating, a Smart Roku TV, soundbar & subwoofer, fast Wi-Fi, board games, and books. A dedicated work area with a sit-to-stand ergonomic desk makes the home suitable for remote work, extended stays, or guests who need reliable connectivity during their trip.

The kitchen is fully stocked for real vacation living. Guests will find cookware, dishes, pantry staples, organic coffee and teas, and everyday essentials. A washer and dryer are perfect for beach days and longer visits. Central air conditioning and heating keeps the home comfortable throughout the summer and winter.

The huge garage functions as both a storage space and a recreation space. It includes a Ping Pong table, beach chairs, umbrellas, toys, and a beach cart. Six beach tags are provided. Beach access is at the end of the street, about a three-minute walk. Bay access and a free public boat slip are also just down the block, making it easy to enjoy both sides of the island.

Outdoor spaces are a highlight. The screened-in porch is shaded and breezy, perfect for morning coffee, family meals, or relaxing in the evenings while listening to the waves. The fenced backyard offers a safe place for children and pets to play. A grill, outdoor seating, and a swing make outdoor time easy and comfortable.
The home is maintained with eco-friendly practices throughout. No pesticides are used in the yard. Inside, the home features VOC-free paint, toxin-free detergents, and chemical-free soaps, shampoos, and conditioners. Organic cotton linens and towels are provided.

Parking is simple and convenient with an attached garage and an additional off-street parking space. The neighborhood is quiet and walkable, with access to Brigantine’s farmers market, restaurants, coffee shops, Shark Park for kids, tennis courts, golf course, yoga classes, surf school, art galleries, stores, museum and the marine mammal stranding center. Atlantic City is about ten minutes away for dining, shows, concerts, and events, including the famous Island Water Park at Showboat, which operates year-round ( 10 min drive!)

Well-behaved pets are welcome. One pet is included with approval. Additional pets or extra-large breeds require prior approval. A pet fee ($150) applies and is used for detailed cleaning and laundering between guests. Dog bowls are provided, and a medium-to-large crate can be made available upon request.

Optional services can be arranged for an additional fee, including fridge stocking before arrival, celebration cakes, fresh flowers, mid-stay cleaning, mid-stay laundry service, early check-in, late check-out, or an extra night when available.

    Whale Cottage exceeded our expectations. From the well appointed kitchen to the comfy front porch. We experienced a very comfortable and pleasant stay…we only wish we could have stayed another night or 2…Also, the Cottage is located on the “quieter” North end of Brigantine…which we prefer to the “busier” South end.

    Excellent property. Clean, cozy, close to beach. Anything needed for cooking was there. Large garage and driveway to accommodate our vehicles. Beach supplies, children’s toys and even a perfect adult tricycle to motor around the neighborhood, so much fun. Large fenced in area for our daughter’s little dog. Loved the screened in porch, we ate , read and played games there without worrying about mosquitos or nasty green flies. All around great place for relaxing and forgetting about real life! Our host Olysiea was perfect. Replied back within a few minutes with any questions I had. Also saving me a return 5 hour trip with something we left behind. We really appreciate her kindness. Hopefully be able to return again. Wonderful place.

    This property was perfect for our family & Labradoodle, Finny. The home was warm, inviting and well stocked / organized. We appreciated the location being conveniently near restaurants, shopping and a short stroll to the beach. Everything we needed was there, from extra blankets to pots and pans. I loved the yard for the dog, great area to walk and plenty of friendly locals with pups. Our group did a small Christmas and took lots of pictures during our visit. The rooms were spacious and the bathrooms had a great setup for sharing. Beds were comfortable and the decor inside was beachy yet modern. Lastly, the communication from the property owner was phenomenal. Very easy to communicate during booking, before check in and check out. Thank you! We had such a great visit we will be back!

    We (3 adults, 3 children, 2 50lb dogs) had a lovely stay for 4th if July week. The fenced in yard was perfect for dogs. We all enjoyed the screened in porch and swing, ping pong table and outdoor shower. The house was clean and well stocked. The owners were very responsive and gracious. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this house!
