The bluff top house looks down into a secluded cove, giving expansive views of the ocean and of miles of unspoiled shoreline. Even distant Lost Range mountains are in view on clear days. This separate part of a larger home boasts a range of amenities, including a hot tub, deck, and internet access. Relax in the cozy living space with a queen bed, streaming TV, and a selection of books and board games for entertainment. Enjoy the convenience of kitchenette with a toaster oven, dining area, and a standalone shower for your comfort.

Your Whale Rock visit offers exclusive privacy in a comfortable ground-floor apartment with a private deck. While part of a two-story home, the entire property remains unoccupied during your stay for your quiet, undisturbed enjoyment.

This is a beautiful, peaceful setting with wildlife all around the property. The house is pretty basic and rough around the edges but comfortable.
