Wonderful condo for a winter getaway. Excellent location right on the river. Good fishing right along the pier. Easy access to downtown (walkable) and Flagler Avenue. The beach is about 1.5 miles away.

3 months in paradise

Wonderful property. Location is ideal. Halfway between historic downtown and beachside Flagler Avenue. Great fishing right off the back of our pier. Plenty of restaurants and bars nearby to enjoy a nice meal and cold beverage. Will be staying again.

Whistling Whale Cottage

We had a wonderful stay! The cottage was clean, updated and very welcoming. The furnishings were attractive and comfortable and the cottage was supplied with everything we needed. Most of all we enjoyed the peace and serenity of the patio overlooking the river. Guy was an excellent host who was always available to answer our questions. We couldn't have asked for more. Can't wait to return!

Definitely DOLPHIN Cove!

Updated coastal cottage with water view, and fishing dock. Dolphin viewing is wonderful! Good location to drive all over NSB & enjoy the entire area. It would have been great to have screens on sliding doors for ventilation & to enjoy the great breezes with all the beautiful February weather. It is important to note that the community is in close proximity, to very loud, early morning, freight trains.

So happy that you had a nice stay! We appreciate your feedback…. The screens were damaged during our most recent hurricane and are currently being replaced . Regarding the train, the community is about a mile from the train track and sometimes the sound will carry over the water…. Glad you were able to enjoy our sweet little beach town!
