We walked each morning and night, and the water was perfect with fun waves. We couldn't have been happier on our relaxing vacation at the Blue Whale Cottage. Thank you Mary and Scott. We will definitely visit again!!! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shannon W.

The host/owners, Scott and Mary are easy to get in touch with and very accommodating. They had such lovely personal touches upon arrival… Complete with a personalized welcome sign and some delicious treats as well as an adorable Complete with an adorable gift for our infant granddaughter. The cottage was super clean. My daughters in-laws kept commenting on how every detail was taken care of and it was decorated beautifully. We would definitely consider staying here and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a wonderful place to stay for any beach trip to North Myrtle Beach. ##### Shannon W.

The set-up for our 2 families was perfect, with both sides of the duplex, the property was situated as close to the beach as it possibly could be without sitting directly on it, and all of the extras included, from beach toys and wagons, to waters and fruit and snacks for the kids. Hospitality like this was incredible to receive, and we will remember this stay forever as being perfection. Thank you, Scott and Mary. In gratitude, The Simmons and Faiello Families. ##### Christy S. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nickolas R.

I can tell you that Scott and Mary deserve them all and even six stars if I could. The short walk to the beach and all supplies like chairs, umbrella, wagon, cooler made it very convenient. I had mentioned in my booking request that were celebrating a birthday for one guest and retirement for another and they had some well wishes as well as a little cake to celebrate. I travel often for work and have stayed at several VRBOs and cannot think of a better property and hosts. I highly recommend a stay here and we will absolutely be back. ##### Nickolas R.

I wish I could give this more than 5 stars! Our family had the most enjoyable experience ever at the beach. This was the easiest rental experience we have ever had. The owners are amazing, they reply very quickly and provide everything anyone could need or want. The attention to detail is outstanding! The cottage is beautiful and very comfortable. It is so nice to pull up to the door and simply walk in. No steps, elevators, etc. Very accessible. This is an amazing beach cottage and we hope to stay there again! Thank you for a wonderful experience! ##### Christy M. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Courtney M.

Unfortunately, the weather was not the warmest or we would have lived outside on the deck. Both sides of the home are equally beachy and stylish with comfortable beds, a nice sitting area and well organized kitchen. The owners thought of everything, all you have to do is bring your clothes. They had beach wagons, coolers, books, coloring books for the kids, beach chairs, beach towels, games and enough kitchen supplies to make a gourmet meal if that is your thing (we ordered pizza). The location is around the corner from beach access away from noise of the high rises. It was amazing. If you have a chance to stay here, do it. ##### Courtney M.
