Great Beach Getaway
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.

Amazing getaway!
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.
