Great views!

The condo was perfect for Sand in my Boots festival. The views were amazing and it was really clean. We would have liked beach towels, a starter supply of coffee and for the TV in the master bedroom to work, but overall we had a really good time.

This place was awesome. It was very updated. Beds were comfortable. Views from all three bedrooms were great. The condo was very clean when we checked in. Balcony furniture is comfy and high quality. Rental through Beach Ball was very easy. Response was very quick with any answers to questions I had before check in. No issues at all with our stay. Would definitely stay here again.

Fabulous!

The view was incredible! The accommodations were wonderful. We enjoyed every minute. The only way to improve would be to have a channel guide for the television and a hair dryer. Thank you for a delightful stay. We will want to return again soon!

Gorgeous views, & easy access to to beach. Minor issues were taken care of immediately. Lots of activities to do within walking distance or a very short drive. One suggestion would be to have a couple of plastic cups & plates for small kids.

Great location!

Great condo. Stayed with family. There were 7 of us. The couch does pull out. Two separate balconies and two primary bedrooms. There were some issues with the smoke detectors and we had to handle it on our own after they told me someone was coming to fix it. Overall very nice

Very nice accommodations, enough room and areas for all to be comfortable.

It would have been nice to have hangers in the closets, as there were only 5 in the whole condo for 4 people with a weeks worth of clothes and no place to hang them. The TV's in the bedrooms were not working and we received no communication on how to get them working after contacting you, and we never got a good code to use the fitness center/sauna/steam room or the indoor pool.

Great Location with Great View

It was very enjoyable but there were a couple of things that kept me from giving 5 stars. The first thing was what I was told about trying to figure out the TV's which are on Dish Network. I was told to call the number of the TV provider. I don't subscribe to their service. I was 500.00 a day to stay there and use the amenities. I would suggest it would be very simple to have a printed sheet by each TV stating how to turn on the satellite and tv and then go to the menu. I did figure it out eventually. Just wasn't impressed with "Call the provider." Secondly some of the kitchen pans needed to be replaced--the frying pan especially and I would suggest adding a sauce pan. I boiled eggs in a stainless steel bowl. As I said, we truly enjoyed our stay and the view was great. Just a couple of small things I thought to mention.

Amazing view

I would say 4.5 stars, if I could. The view is what makes this place, it's by far the best view I've had in a rental. The condo was very clean & well maintained. With high winds the main door from living room to balcony makes a high pitch noise. We solved this by cracking it a tiny bit. King bed is uncomfortable for our taste. I also had to call for the access code. Which said it would be emailed/text to me & it wasn't. In addition the provided pool access code was wrong. I had to call for that as well. Overall we'd stay here again for the view. Just hoping for a bed upgrade.

Perfect Beach Rental

We were a party of three generations (4 adults and 2 teens) and found the space to be just right for our needs thanks to the three bathrooms. The property was updated in 2021 (except for the master bath) so everything was new and beautiful (save for the brown walls). The owners have thought of many details that I always seek out when renting--a well-stocked kitchen complete with storage containers for leftovers, black-out curtains in bedrooms, comfortable furniture and beds, lovely outdoor spaces, etc. Be sure to bring your own salt & pepper, aluminum foil, etc. Parking was never an issue, although the elevators were slow at times. Beach access is down a short boardwalk, and chairs and umbrellas are available for daily rental through an outside vender, which we took advantage of each day as we didn't have space to bring our own. The pool was nicely shaded by the building and not very crowded. The condo is within walking distance of shopping, a coffee shop, a few restaurants, and a park (2-8 blocks). Overall quite a nice experience, and we would definitely stay here again!
