Free Pet & special pricing! The Whale 2: Cozy 2-Bedroom Cottage

This was a charming little property so close to the beach. We enjoyed our stay very much. One bathroom sink was clogged, but other than that, it was just perfect!

The cottage is lovely, beautifully decorated. It’s supplied with everything you need. I packed way too many clothes. The laundry area is top notch & I wished I had packed lighter. The fenced in yard is very small for active dogs but the 5 minute walk to the beach more than makes up for it.

The house was absolutely perfect for our stay and the host had clearly thought about the details that are important to tired travelers. It felt welcoming and comfortable. Communications were quick and clear. Highly recommend.

This was a great rental, the location is wonderful and the cottage is even bigger than it looks in the pictures. My son loved the bunkbed room. Will definitely return.

Super cute, nicely furnished, everything in wonderful condition and great location!

Owner called to let us know we could get in early, which was greatly appreciated. The home is small but they have used the space very well. Bathrooms had plenty of towels and all the products for showering, etc. kitchen was also well equipped with everything we needed. The decor and updates were the perfect beach vibe. Beach buggy, chairs, beach bag and small cooler were all there. Very convenient.Overall, we enjoyed our time being just a short walk to the beach!

The host was amazingThe house was beautiful and just steps from the beachCouldn’t have asked for anything more perfect

Great place. Live staying there.

Perfect vacation spot for myself, husband and our fur babies. Great location, cute and comfortable.

Great place close to the beach and restaurants.

If I could give “Communication with property manager” 10 stars, I would!!! Chris kept the lines of communication open from the first time I messaged her asking questions until the check out process. Such a wonderful host. This home is perfectly located, just a stroll to the beach and Margaritaville. It was the perfect amount of space for me, my spouse, our 3 young adults, grandchild and our small dog. Perfectly stocked! We will definitely be returning.

Cute cottage! It's in an amazing location. You are steps away from the beach! Family of 4 with a small dog and we had a lot of room.

It is in the back of the property as others have mentioned. So you share with another place you have to walk by first to get to this units front door. We didn't know this and tried the code on the front location and it worked so we walked in on someone else. The location to the beach was great, just a quick walk. It is clean but we did have bugs, including ants in the kitchen. Had to buy a closed container for our food. We thought the second bedroom was really cute. I would say overall it is fine for 2 people but would be tight in the general area for any more. All things above wouldn't stop me from staying again BUT it had a really bad smell in the entire place. That is also mentioned in another review. It is a musty type smell and I'm not sure how to eliminate it but that made the stay less desirable. All our luggage/clothes had to be cleaned once home because they picked up that smell.

Great location being a block and half from beach. Property had everything we needed and was very roomy.

It was cozy and clean and well kept. Loved the covered walkway. Also loved the pink fridge, toaster, and coffee maker. The beach was just across the street. A very memorable stay.

The Whale 2 Cottage is at the back of the lot, on which the owner owns both cottages. This makes the cottage feel very secluded. The shared courtyard features chairs, a garden, beautiful flowers, and space for BBQing. I loved having a huge shower and a fabulous W/D set. May return to rent both cottages with another family.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Super cute cottage with everything we needed. Easy access to beach. Walk to coffee.

This was a wonderful place to stay in Jacksonville! It is perfectly decorated and recently updated. It is in a great location and an easy walk to the beach. Chris was very welcoming and readily available. We would highly recommend here to anyone looking for a place to stay in Jacksonville.

Place was as advertised and more. Perfect location less than 1 block from the beach and Jax beach bars/restaurants. The 2 full baths is a huge plus if you are staying with a few people. We will definitely be looking to re-book this place in the future!

Adorable, well stocked great location! Beds are comfy, beach towels and cooler.love the desert rise dishes. Walk across the street to the beach .refinery across the street is yummy. Easy walking the area

This adorable cottage is steps from the beach. Super clean. Very well appointed kitchen and bathrooms. Close to a great deli and wonderful host.

Cottage is very cute. It's a few steps from beach.

Cottage has everything you could need. Host very attentive. Nice quiet clean location close to all, special bonus to be just steps away from the beach! Def recommend.

Was there for the JU Lacrosse game and the place is awesome. Walking distance to the beach, restaurants and bars. Very cozy and super comfortable beds.

Cute and cozy. Walking distance to the beach, restaurants, shopping and more.

Property is as described. Great for kids. Plenty of toys and beach stuff plus drink coolers. Easy to contact management if needed and quick response. Had everything we needed for infant. Cute little cottage and private.

Great Location , very clean inside , beds are super comfortable. Everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Wonderful Cottage! The owner is so great with the little touches that make you feel at home! 1-2 minute walk to the beach. Great area and felt very safe! 10/10 would stay here again!

I think overall it was good and very close to the beach, so parking and accessibility was very good.
