About this property

Loved & Guest Favorite - Ocean View Luxury

That’s right, please don’t rent our home. Unless, of course, you’re looking for a vacation home that offers all the following:
• A meticulously cleaned home that comes with a cleanliness guarantee.
• Accurate description and photographs. What you find when you arrive will look like what you see in the pictures. (unless we’ve recently added something new and fun!).
• No starter pack nonsense. You’re paying good money, and the least we can do is make sure the home is fully stocked with enough paper towels, trash bags, toilet paper, and dishwasher detergent to last your entire stay.
• Responsive and attentive hosts who care about our home's condition and the quality of your stay with us. Unlike the big property management companies, you’re not just a number and a check to us.

Host profile image
Hey there! We’re Shelly & Tom, hosts, owners, and your go-to local insiders at Whales-Tale.
Our guests rave about their stays (check out our reviews — they say it best!).

We bought this gorgeous 2019 beach home in 2021 and have been upgrading it ever since to make every visit even better. Because we personally own and operate Whales-Tale, you’re not just another guest; you’re part of our Whales-Tale beach family. Book your getaway and experience the difference for yourself!

Why they chose this property

We instantly fell in love with Ocean Drive, North Myrtle Beach’s hidden gem! It’s calm, safe, and blissfully uncrowded, yet just minutes from all the action. Whether you’re planning a weekend retreat or a whole week of fun, it’s the perfect spot to relax, recharge, and enjoy the best of the beach life.

What makes this property unique

Whales-Tale offers the perfect balance of convenience and tranquility — just a 2-minute stroll from the beach access across the street, yet quietly nestled within the sought-after Tilghman Estates neighborhood. Guests enjoy peaceful surroundings without the crowds or high-rise condos, trading the noise for ocean breezes and open skies. The area’s uncrowded shoreline invites morning walks, bike rides, and lazy afternoons by the water, while spaciously set homes ensure added privacy and relaxation from the moment you arrive.
