La Ballena Cottage or “The Whale Cottage” is a beautiful oceanside home offering gorgeous expansive ocean vistas and a private pool surrounded by pristine white sand. Constructed as a residence and brand-new to the rental market, this bungalow is in impeccable condition with personal coastal touches that will make you feel right at home. Boasting over 2,400 square feet of living space, there is plenty of room for your whole family to maneuver comfortably. When you're ready to hit the beach, the Bismark Dr. beach access is just 0.2 miles (a short 3-min. walk) away.
Pull up to this beautiful Corolla bungalow and appreciate plenty of parking in the driveway for all your cars. Begin your relaxation by taking an afternoon nap in the hammock beneath the home. Out back, a enormous fenced-in pool deck area features an inviting private pool and plenty of chairs and pool loungers to make tanning poolside a breeze. After a long day on the beach, rinse off in the outdoor shower before heading inside. The first floor also includes a washer/dryer and leads you to the 2nd floor through a short staircase.
The majority of bedrooms are located on the main level of this home. Choose between 2 Queen Bedrooms—each with comfortable beds, beachy décor and plenty of natural sunlight. One of the Queen rooms includes a desk area ideal for remote working or remote learning! A third bedroom features a Double bed and the fourth bedroom is ideal for the kids containing a Pyramid Bunk bed. A second living area on this level features a Queen Sleeper Couch for additional space and doubles as a great place to getaway with your favorite book. There are two full bathrooms conveniently located between the bedrooms, one with a tub/shower combo and the other with a shower only.
Another staircase leads to the 3rd floor with its cavernous bedroom suite with TV and private bathroom with shower. There you will find a centralized entirely equipped kitchen with striking granite countertops and an 8-person dining table with 3 additional counter height chairs. This open floor concept also includes an adjacent roomy living area with TV and many comfortable seating options for you and your family to savor. Rest painless in the King Bedroom on the top floor. In addition, a screened porch gives you access to a full wrap around sun deck and a rooftop deck for those handsome sunrises in the morning and incredible cool breezes at nighttime.
