Great house. Well stocked, clean and comfortable. Close to downtown and short walk to beach. The door locks are confusing, but once solved we had a great time. Beautiful private back yard.

Dog Friendly House

We enjoyed our stay. It was nice having a fully fence patio/yard to let the dog out in the mornings and while we ate dinner on the deck. House was in easy walking distance to beach and village.

Perfect beach spot

Lovely house! The location is great with easy access to town and the beach. It was a little cold to make use of the patio, but we made use of the gas fireplace after our walks on the beach.

We have always enjoyed our stay at Gray Whale Cove. This is our third time there. The yard is great for our dog and the kitchen is well stocked. The king bed mattress has seen better days.
