The photos accurately represent the place. The bedroom does not have enough room to open up a suitcase on the floor but there is a closet and since it was just two of us we used the living room area

Cottage was perfect! Cozy and very clean. Loved that it was a short walk away from the beach and restaurants. We had a few questions and Chris responded immediately with a resolution. I would recommend this location without a doubt!

We so thoroughly enjoyed our stay that we will be back the next time we travel to Jax Beach to visit family. The space has an easy flow for visiting and dining. Great kitchen. Very well-appointed, and so nicely decorated! Chris has thought of absolutely everything you might need for your stay. The location was perfect. We could hear the ocean, just one block away… and it is within walking distance to a number of restaurants and shop. Very nice setting for sitting outside. We would recommend this listing highly!

After reading the positive reviews about the cleanliness of the property and good experiences of past renters, we looked forward to spending a week at The Whale. Unfortunately, the house was very dirty and showed significant signs of wear from previous renters. The bloom has fallen off the rose with this property, at least for now. We ended our time there after four nights and were eager to leave. Definitely not what we expected from a “premier host” or a highly rated property.

The house is precious! The cute little pink cottage is very well appointed and the decor is just... well... precious! The owner is adding upgrades to make future stays even better (keyless entry). The landscaping and colorful pots of flowers add to the charm. A block from the beach and a fantastic restaurant at the beach (Refinery) make it a great hassle free stay for someone that just wanted R&R. The owner even brought me a birthday balloon and cupcakes! SO NICE!!! Would definitely stay at the pink Whale cottage again!

We stayed in an original beach cottage in JAX Beach for the first time. Don't let the outside of this cottage fool you because the inside was just beautiful and extremely well equipped. It had all the amenities you could possibly need for a really nice stay. We took long walks on the beach with our pups (dogs allowed from October thru March 31). We walked to some very good restaurants nightly (Refinery, Casa Marina & V's Pizza ). The day we arrived it was raining so we drove to Neptune Beach a couple miles away to eat at "Fish Camp". Our hostess, Chris greeted us shortly after we arrived and gave us great suggestions. Overall, we all had a wonderful time and will be back:))))

We were in town for the Gator Bowl and the house was the perfect place to stay. Our puppies enjoyed the fenced yard and we loved the entire house. Chris was responsive to all of our requests. Would definitely recommend staying here.

We felt welcomed and a great location to the beach and walking distance to restaurants! Very quiet, lots of nearby restaurants and we had some goodies waiting for us when we arrived. We would stay again. With being able to park directly in front of the cottage made unpacking and packing the car very easy. The bedroom was nicely decorated and the bed was comfortable. Chris was great a communication with us, couldn’t ask for better.

Pleasantly surprised with the house. The obvious draw was the location to the beach which was only a block away but couldn’t have been happier with the house. Everything was immaculate inside. From the update decor, to the fresh fruit in the basket, to the frosted mugs in the freezer. Just a great overall experience. The one drawback I feel I have to mention is the back yard. The house behind shares a yard and is being renovated so not a great area for kids or pets and kind of like a construction zone. We met the owners who were also delightful. Would definitely stay here again. Fantastic rental !!!

With a 4 day conference on Amelia Island coming up, we decided to extend it by a week in Jacksonville Beach. We are an outdoorsy couple who enjoy good food, quiet and cleanliness. The Whale Cottage was perfect- beach block, well stocked, recently renovated with quartz countertops and high end appliances, and very clean. Comfy bed, gas grill used to grill fresh wahoo, plenty of towels, full washer/dryer. What really set it apart were the little welcoming touches that made us feel like treasured guests rather than renters for the week- fresh flowers, pastry (we ate them), wine (we didn't drink it). We walked the beach, played pickleball, visited state parks, rented beach cruisers. Perfect!

This house is small but doesn’t feel tight. It was very clean and in great condition. I was not happy with the backyard because it’s a construction site and not kid friendly. This was mentioned not pictured. The front porch was perfect for cold evenings.
