And right on the beach. - Kimberly Posted on 8/17/2025 ### (5/5 stars) We loved the view and access of the beach. The house was well appointed and very clean up on check in. - Bob Posted on 7/21/2025 ### A Beautiful Beachfront Property (5/5 stars) Beautiful views and access to the beachfront! The house has an open, comfortable layout. Our family has stayed here off and on for at least the past 20 years! - Bob B.

Posted on 7/21/2025 ### (4/5 stars) We love the layout of the home. We had four adults, two little kids, and a dog, and the space was good for our group. We love the porch, with a solid table where we had breakfast every morning. The second floor has a large double window where you can see the beautiful ocean, and moonlight on the water! Many personal touches from the family that are charming and homey. The air works well, and indoor washer and dryer are very convenient! Appliances work well. We would definitely stay here again. - Beth Posted on 7/12/2025 ### (4/5 stars) Excellent beach front property. Location alone makes this an excellent place for a family beach trip. Plenty of room, and perfect place for the west end of holden. - James Posted on 6/21/2025 ### (5/5 stars) One of the simplest houses we’ve stayed in, but one of the best! It was perfect for our vacation. Lots of kids toys and I noticed pack and plays/toddler mattress in multiple closets. Truly a wonderful addition for people traveling with littles! Only thing I think that needs updated is new couches/chairs in the living room. Everything else was perfect. Thanks for having us!! - Adrea Posted on 6/15/2025 ### Cute little house with a close walk! (5/5 stars) One of the simplest houses we’ve stayed in, but one of the best!

Posted on 6/15/2025 ### (4/5 stars) Very comfortable home, steps away from shore! Home has everything you could need and not as expensive as other beachfront homes. Enjoyed every morning on the deck with a cup of coffee, watching the sun rise. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. - Frances Posted on 8/24/2024 ### (5/5 stars) Love the house and location. Great place to relax and enjoy a family vacation. - Christina Posted on 6/28/2024 ### Tale of the Whale (5/5 stars) Great house to relax in while at the beach. Love this house and location. - Christina A. Posted on 6/28/2024 ### Orcutt vacation (5/5 stars) Loved the front porch!!! - Evette O. Posted on 6/8/2024 ### (5/5 stars) The home was clean and well stocked with sheets, towels, and instructions for anything we needed. Lovely waterfront home, and it was GREAT that we did not have to board our sweet Pug, who enjoyed his stay, too! - Patricia Posted on 9/5/2023 ### (5/5 stars) Everything - Eva Posted on 8/8/2023 ### Great house 🏠 (5/5 stars) House is super convenient, very comfortable interesting old radios and artwork. Great views of the beach ⛱️ - Richard R. Posted on 8/5/2023 ### Great Beach House! (5/5 stars) My family stayed at Tale of the Whale for a week and we had a great time. This home has all you need. Plenty of board games and books. No need to bring any. 4 bedrooms, 2 up and 2 down plenty of room! The kitchen is fully equipped. The view is amazing. A few suggestions and wishes. Would like to have had an outdoor grill. It doesn't have one. And the porch boards are rough, be careful where you step. Would be nice to extend the walkway out closer to the beach. Overall we loved the house and view. Hope to return again! - Carmen R. Posted on 8/7/2022 ### (5/5 stars) My family stayed at Tale of the Whale for a week and we had a great time.

(5/5 stars) We enjoyed our stay and I appreciated the fact that we were called to make sure everything went smoothly with our check in. Just what we needed to relax and escape everyday life! We would definitely rent from Vasca again. Thanks for helping us make amazing memories with the family. - Terri R. Posted on 7/9/2022
