Great dog friendly beach house

The location is great, there was almost no one on the beach we had it all to ourselves. Big beautiful sandy beach with great waves for boogie boarding. Nice to have an unpretentious, dog friendly house with its own beach access.

Whale Den Great Vibes

We stayed at the Whale Den to celebrate Thanksgiving with our family. The house has a great beach vibe, relaxing, clean and enough room that we could be together and yet sleep well in our own space.
