Our family stayed at A Whale's Tale and had a fantastic time, it was within decent walking distance to the main restaurant and stores, plus a bit farther to the beach and that was important for us. It was also quiet in our "neighborhood", nestled in the corner we didn't have a lot of foot traffic around us which was also very nice. Between our 3 teenage boys and our 2 dogs, the living area wasn't quite big enough for all of us to hang out whether we were watching a movie or cooking so a larger house might have been better for us overall, but it made up for it with the quantity of bedrooms and bathrooms. What a cute place.
