Perfect Peace
We came down as family and friends to celebrate my Mom’s life. A Whale of a Good Time was the perfect place for our family and friends to gather and honor her memory. The beauty and peace of the property was a balm to our sorrow. We had a wonderful time together reminiscing, playing games, and swimming in the pool. Would definitely visit again!
