Laughing Whale

This cottage was perfect for our family vacation! It is close enough to walk to the beach while also being a street over from all of the traffic and noise. The house was very clean and beds were comfy for everyone. Properly managers were wonderful with communication and making sure everything was what we were expecting and needing. We will definitely be back!

This was our second stay at the Laughing Whale Cottage, and we definitely plan to go back. The cottage is pristine, the location is great, and the owners are some of the most thoughtful people I’ve ever met. They went over and above in anticipating every conceivable thing we could need. Beautifully and thoughtfully furnished. A+ in all respects!

The best vacation

The cottage was perfect for our 5 night stay for two adults and two teenagers. Scott and Mary have thought of everything needed for a perfect stay from beach chairs and beach wagon to coffee and creamer. They even supplied containers to take seashells home! The location was easy to find and close to attractions while still being quiet. We would definitely stay again when coming back to the area.

Baby moon

Such a great place to stay. My wife and I wanted a small weekend getaway and it was the best spot, privacy, and only a block from the beach. We had access to chairs and even had complimentary snacks and a small gift. Will definitely be staying here again, especially when our son arrives.

This property is quaint and unique with amazing decor. The ambiance is exceptional...especially at night. It is steps away from the beach and filled with things to do for the occasional rainy day! There are so many areas to eat and drink nearby a well. All in all a great stay.

We loved the Laughing Whale Cottage! Everything we needed was there and it was a short walk to the beach. Loved all of the sitting areas for our family to gather and enjoy our vacation. Enjoyed the front sunroom each morning and the backyard deck. Had a question about the tv, and Scott was so quick to reply and stopped by to help. Enjoyed hearing the history of the cottage.

Cozy Family Beach Cottage

This charming beach cottage was perfectly set up with one thing in mind: Relax and enjoy. Mary and Scott are the best hosts. They thought of everything to make our family’s stay easy, fun, and comfortable from the welcoming aesthetic, sweet treats and cold drinks ready for the kids as soon as we arrived, to having ALL supplies available that we could need. The entire cottage was super clean and had comfortable beds and linens. All beach gear was available which helped save space not having to pack and bring our own. It was great being just a short walk to the beach and having a grill to bbq. Everything they had provided made us feel like we were staying with family and friends. Thank you Mary and Scott for making it feel like home.

About the host

Hosted by Mary and Scott

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

This house makes you want to slow down with it's friendly old beach style and character and has a great "Happy Beachy Feel". Our friends and family say they literally feel decompressed after walking through the door and we couldn't agree more! We never would've dreamed we could be this close to the beach, and the days spent here are ones of sitting under beach umbrellas with a good book, playing beach games, collecting shells, wine at sunset, BBQing and hanging out under the oaks in the evening, playing cards or games on the enclosed patios until bedtime. It just never gets old:)

What makes this property unique

The house is single level with just 2 short steps to get in back door. You can pull your car within feet of the back door to load and unload. There is plenty of concrete parking, which is rare at the beach. Many of our neighbors live here full time so there is more of a neighborhood feel (and we love our neighbors!). Short walk to several bars/restaurants, ice cream shop.
