Property Maintenance: Our pool and landscaping is maintained by a trusted-third party company. Due to their schedule, we cannot provide specific day confirmations to guests on when they will be onsite. They are no required to announce their arrival. The pool is serviced twice a week during peak season and once a week during non-peak. Guests are responsible for skimming debris from the pool in between cleans. Guests who want to request an additional clean will need pay an additional fee.

Starter Supplies: Bath towels and linens are included in the cleaning fee. To ensure your first night with us is comfortable we provide a starter supply of toilet paper, roll of paper towels and garbage bags.

It is not uncommon to encounter insects such as palmetto bugs or wildlife in this tropical climate. While we do take preventative measures to keep critters out with pest control services there is the possibility that some get into the house. Please keep doors closed to help control this. There is wildlife in the area so please do not leave food or drinks outside.

There are three external cameras. A camera on the lower front porch that covers the driveway, one on the back left side of the house that covers the side yard, and a camera on the back steps that covers the landing and bottom steps. They may all be recording at times and save still images. Moving, covering them up, or interfering with them in anyway is strictly prohibited and a violation of our House Rules. There is also an Amazon Echo in the kitchen and upstairs living room. It may be unplugged by guests, but we ask our guests to plug them back in prior to their departure.

There is one charcoal grill available for use outside as a courtesy. Guests are responsible for supplies as well as cleaning the grills.

    This rental is textbook island beach house! The house itself is a bit dated but updated where it counts. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen is perfect for all your cooking needs, and the tub is just the right size for anyone! Not to mention, it’s walking distance to the beach. You can hear the waves calling you from the front porch!

    Overall- location was great, walkable distance to beach, home was clean and as stated online. I have only 1 minor request. Since the home only has 2 steps, and because of this - people with walking issues , bad knees etc look for first floor accommodations. It would be safer and not too costly to put some sort of rail to assist up those two steps. I would have greatly appreciated that . Again over all was a very enjoyable stay.

    We loved our short stay. We had a party of 5 adults and 2 dogs and stayed for 3 days. The house is an easy 1 block walk to the ocean and there is an awesome grocery store a few blocks away. The owner is very responsive to messages and was flexible with our check out time! Thank you for an awesome relaxing October beach vaca!!

    Overall was a good stay location is nice. Only issue we had was the neighbors upstairs were loud all the time and we banging when we were trying to sleep. One night a lady was vacuuming at 1100pm and I had to go upstairs and ask for her to keep it down. Otherwise overall was good.

    The location of this home is super convenient to walk to the beach. It’s a cute place and accommodated our group of 10 well. Our first night was uneventful but we woke up to no hot water the next morning. The host was incredibly prompt in his response to fix the issue. We ended up having to move to another location because of the water heater issue but the host went out of his way to make things as easy as possible for us. Overall it was a great stay!

    We couldn't have been happier with the location, only a block away from the beach with very easy access. For the price, it was all just perfect! Communication was excellent. The space was adequate. And it was so nice to be able to bring out dog with us. We were glad to find a property that allowed pets. We would definitely stay here again.

    4 of us stayed in the Knotty Whale for a short 3 night weekend. We loved that the beds were so comfortable. It’s hard to find places that don’t use cheap hard mattresses. The kitchen was well stocked and the owner was great to communicate with. The location was perfect. The place was a good size for the 4 of us but it was cramped when sitting on the sofa. More comfortable seating would be great but with the size of the room, I could see how that’s not doable. The biggest complaint we have is the hall bathroom. It was just too small. My husband is 6’1 and could not use the shower comfortably. For me being a smaller female it felt to cramped and small too. You either have to turn the shower off to wash or cram under the shower head where water won’t hit you. With that being said, my husband ended up using the other bathroom to shower bc it had more room. The toilet space was very tight with the walls so close and the sink was kid height. For a short weekend, it’s doable but not something I would want to use for a week. Overall, it is a good place to stay, especially with a pet. You don’t have to go up and down stairs. Not to mention, it didn’t have a pet smell to it. It was a clean place too. We would consider it again if it’s just us and we want a nice place to stay with our pup.
