If you’re looking for a posh condo, move on, and up in price range. For the price and location, it can’t be beat! These old Florida beach houses are getting harder to find.
The views from the deck were amazing! The hot tub is older, but still works great. We had red flags the entire week, but the hot tub did make it nice, especially during the cooler morning.
The inside is an old beach cabin. Everything worked fine, but things are aged. There is no streaming service though the WiFi worked well. The TV situation is a little odd, you can only watch one channel on both TV’s. Not a huge deal, but if you’re stuck inside on a rainy day you may want to bring a Firestick. The kitchen had everything we needed, in fact it had more stuff than many other places we have stayed.
The loft stairs are an adventure, my teenage daughter stayed up there, and enjoyed having the space to herself, I only went up the spiral staircase a couple times, but many older adults may have issues with them.
The beds were comfy, and it was nice having the option to use the window unit AC’s. The bathroom could use an exhaust fan, but looked to have been recently updated, and had good water pressure.
Beach access is probably 50 yards away, and you’re right down the street from all the restaurants and shops. Honestly, I’m not sure there is a better location on the island that is not beach front. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the Blue Whale, and would stay again.
