We spent 28 days at Whimsical Way. Our stay was excellent. The house was very clean and communications with the host good. Access to the beach was a short walk across a street to a new walkway.
Everything was great! We had a wonderful time. I love the location would definitely see her again if I had a chance. I would like to note that the listing does say that there are three king size beds, but there are only two. We love the pool out front and the location was amazing!!

We are so glad that you had a great beach vacation and LOVED our beach home! We appreciate you for sharing your experience and look forward to hosting you the next time you visit our beautiful area.
We would definitely stay here again, the house was a perfect fit for our group of 10, and it was super clean! It was a bit of a hike to the beach since part of our group was two and three-year-olds, and they just require so much more heading to the beach like a hand held, being carried, or in the wagon, but not too long of a walk when the group is self sufficient on taking their own stuff.
