Great stay!

This is our second time we stayed here. The location is great and the golf cart is a must, otherwise, it would be a long walk if you have kids and too much beach stuff. The property owners/managers are so amazing and prompt with any needs! Our family has loved staying here!

Christmas trip to the beach

Great house for my family to enjoy a week at the beach during the week after Christmas. Booking, checkin and check out we’re simple. Any questions I had Jerry and Teri answered immediately. Golf cart is an added benefit. Would definitely stay here again on next trip.

Great week at the beach!

The house was clean and cozy. We loved swimming in the pool and taking the golf cart to the beach! The nearest beaches were beautiful and not too crowded, which was awesome. We had one small issue while we were there and the property owner was very quick to resolve the problem which we very much appreciated. We will definitely be back!

Perfect Location!

Our family has spent many vacations in the PCB area at different Condos, hotels, houses, ect. and this house was definitely at the top of our list! The location was perfect, a very short golf cart ride to the beach (which our kids loved!) The house was clean and as described. The beach access areas were beautiful and not crowded, unlike most other areas of the beach. Our only regret was not bringing our pups, as the home has a great setup for them! We will definitely be back for future family vacations!

Absolutely Lovely

Perfect vacation rental for our family of five. Definitely recommend golft cart with rental. Worth it for the convenience to beach and some joy riding around the block with kids. The pool made up for not being able swim at the beach all week due to double red flags. BIG WIN!! House was exceptionally clean and comfortable. Overall we are very happy and had a wonderful, relaxing vacation. Very convenient to dining and shopping!!

Kick back at Kiska

We enjoyed our Spring Break stay at this cozy coastal cottage. Teri was very easy to communicate with and accommodating. The king bed was comfortable and my teenagers said their beds were comfy, too. Nice sheets and bedding on them all. I would recommend getting the golf cart. It was the best way to get to the beach. The yard was fenced and provided a great space for our small dog. There’s a Publix and Winn-Dixie nearby for groceries and lots to do in the area. A great place to kick back, relax and listen to the waves.

Great Location!!

Our family of 5 and two frenchies stayed at Whale of a Tale for a week. This rentals location is perfect. It’s a 5 minute walk to the beach. That’s a little far if your carrying beach gear and coolers. The golf cart was a life saver. Highly recommend renting it. Made quick trips to Winn Dixie very easy. The home is just as described in listing. Very clean upon arrival. Plenty of starter toiletries. Detergent, dryer sheets, dish soap, dishwasher pods, paper towels, toilet paper are just a few. Plenty of towels for pool. The fenced yard was great for our Frenchies. Plenty of small kitchen appliances and kitchen ware. We would definitely recommend…

Fantastic stay!

This property was perfect for our trip to PCB for our son’s baseball tournament. It was the perfect size for our family, very clean, well stocked, and exactly as the pictures depict it. I was worried the pool would be too small, but it was perfect for our kids to enjoy and for us to cool off in. It was great to have our own pool in the backyard. It was also great to not have to deal with the parking garage and elevator nightmare others dealt with at the larger condos! The neighborhood felt safe and was very quiet. The beach was close by; we chose to drive. We didn’t take advantage of the golf cart due to our baseball schedule, but it looked to be in great condition. We had no issues with the TV that other reviews mention. We drove into the busier PCB areas almost every day and the house was closer than I was thinking it would be. The host replied to all of my questions quickly as well. We would definitely recommend this house to anyone looking for a quieter PCB stay, and will stay here again if we return to PCB.

This was a lovely house, very clean! Communication was great with the owners, the few times I reached out they responded in minutes. Just a 2 minute drive to the beach, we used public access 87 and parked the golf cart just across the street from the entrance. There is an Aldi and Publix less than 5 min away. We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay at this home again.
