Excellent Stay!

Writer’s Retreat was very clean and in the perfect location for us! We loved staying on the beach and the condo was the perfect size for us! The back patio was the perfect size as well! It is a quiet place to enjoy the outdoors! There is plenty to do, see and lots of places to eat close by, which we loved! We have nothing bad to say about the stay! We definitely recommend staying here!

Perfection By The Sea!

The location is perfect: convenient to everything, yet not in the middle of everything. Being right on the beach - with a lifeguard stand right there - is key.

Thanksgiving trip

This is the second time we have spent Thanksgiving in this condo. Well furnished and well equipped with anything you need. Good location too! Only complaint was the coffee pot…we were not used to this model and could not find any instructions. We finally figured it out. The door lock was rather difficult to see at night, but we managed. Thanks for this lovely rental!

Great location

It is a beautiful place on the beach—a good size for my friend and me. It is a ground-floor condo building next to other rental homes. The condo was clean and supplied to get you started with your stay. Another nice amenity—bed sheets came with the rental.
