Cozy and convenient

The photos accurately represent the place. The bedroom does not have enough room to open up a suitcase on the floor but there is a closet and since it was just two of us we used the living room area

Whale Cottage

Cottage was perfect! Cozy and very clean. Loved that it was a short walk away from the beach and restaurants. We had a few questions and Chris responded immediately with a resolution. I would recommend this location without a doubt!

A Great Stay

The house is precious! The cute little pink cottage is very well appointed and the decor is just... well... precious! The owner is adding upgrades to make future stays even better (keyless entry). The landscaping and colorful pots of flowers add to the charm. A block from the beach and a fantastic restaurant at the beach (Refinery) make it a great hassle free stay for someone that just wanted R&R. The owner even brought me a birthday balloon and cupcakes! SO NICE!!! Would definitely stay at the pink Whale cottage again!

Sweet, Sweet Cottage in Great Location

We so thoroughly enjoyed our stay that we will be back the next time we travel to Jax Beach to visit family. The space has an easy flow for visiting and dining. Great kitchen. Very well-appointed, and so nicely decorated! Chris has thought of absolutely everything you might need for your stay. The location was perfect. We could hear the ocean, just one block away… and it is within walking distance to a number of restaurants and shop. Very nice setting for sitting outside. We would recommend this listing highly!

About the host

Hosted by CHRIS CORMACK

I owned CC Sells real estate team with Keller Williams Realty in Northern Virginia for thirty years. I had been coming back and forth to Jax Beach for years. I love renovating and decorating beach cottages. I live here now and can help guests find a beach house of their own!

Why they chose this property

I love the location. It's right across the street from the beach.

What makes this property unique

Check out Whale 2 (VRBO#3454836). It's our newest cottage that shares a backyard with The Whale. Feel free to inquire about renting both for a large family escape! Whale 2 has another king-sized bed along with two sets of bunk beds.
