Gray Whale is a charming coastal cottage with three bedrooms and two full baths - ideal for a small family or two couples. Updates include hardwood floors throughout and stainless steel appliances in the kitchen. The open-concept living space and all bedrooms and baths are conveniently located on one level for effortless flow and minimal stair climbing. Downstairs on the ground level, you'll find a grassy front lawn that's fully fenced-in, perfect for kids and yard games.
After a day at the beach or exploring the village, come home and relax in the comfortably furnished great room. It features vaulted ceilings and a gas fireplace (off-season use only) for staying cozy on cooler evenings. The dining area provides table seating for six and leads out to an expansive screened porch that's been transformed into an outdoor gathering space.
