Lovely spring break getaway
Everything was perfect at the gray whale. The property was clean and welcoming. Sunsets from the deck are amazing. Ocean view from the front! We enjoyed sitting outside and reading listening to the ocean.

Fantastic house and location!
This beautiful home is in new condition and was very comfortable for the six adults in our family. It is just across the street from the beach path, less than a block from the sound, and in a quiet neighborhood. All of the furnishings are very nice, the beds are comfortable, and the main areas are spacious with plenty of seating. It was a plus that beach towels and equipment were included in the home. Check in was a breeze and the property mgt team was excellent to work with. One thing to be aware of before visiting is that the shared shower in the hallway is in a tight space. People of large stature will have trouble in the shower stall. Our group is considered to be average adult sizes and it was fine. We would definitely rent here again!
