Absolutely Perfect

Good news…the property was gorgeous, functional, and clean. Bad news…we are ruined for any other beach location going forward - you literally can’t get any closer to that beautiful sand. Communication was excellent and the entire experience was outstanding. We hope to return!

Great stay, perfect view!

My family loved our stay at this condo. It was very clean, updated, and had a perfect view for our morning coffee with a short walk to the beach from our deck. Beds were very comfortable. I can’t say enough about the location/view of the condo, we will book again and have referred our family and friends as well! Host was great to work with!

WOW

The title says it all - we do not frequently revisit the places we vacation. This trip has changed that for us and we will definitely be back next year! Everything about this place from the accomodations to the amenities to the proximity to the ocean & excellent local eateries was ideal!

Loved the deck!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here!. The property was very clean, and the beds were very comfortable. When not walking on the beach, playing golf, or shopping, we were firmly planted on the deck to enjoy the ocean. The only minor improvements I'd suggest are adding a plug or cover for the bathtub drain for those who want to take a bath and updating and/or providing a thorough cleaning/descaling to the water reservoir in the Keurig. There were other guests who came the same day we did and they stayed in the unit directly above us, and we never heard a peep from upstairs. The direct access to the beach was exactly what we were looking for and exactly what we got!

Great Location for Ocean Front Vacay!

I stayed here for a week in mid June with my family and kids, this property (specially this unit) is in an awesome location within walking distance to the beach, and with a middle balcony you get shade if you want to enjoy the view. The condo itself is mostly updated but very nice, could use a few brush ups on the inside but otherwise a very nice place to rent!! would use again!

Location can’t be beat!

The location of the condo was perfect. It is literally steps from the ocean. Front deck with an amazing view of the sand and ocean. Everything about the trip was great. Had a few challenges with the automatic locks but it was probably user error. Everything worked fine and the stay was great. I will definitely look to rent this condo again in the future!

Perfect! Clean! On the beach!

SUPER clean! It was right on the beach which was so wonderful for us (we have four young kids). The pool is under the complex and very small, but we come to the beach for the beach! The pool is perfect for the little kids when they get tired of the sand. So many extra blankets and pillows. A washer and drier that worked perfectly! They have basically everything you need in the kitchen. Bring your own crock-pot if you need one tho, and maybe a giant pot if you’re doing a shrimp boil. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat! Such a lovely vacation! Thank you!!
