This property truly is in the perfect location if you’re not staying on the beach. The walk to the beach was easy. The condo itself had everything you could possibly need and was very comfortable. The property was extremely quiet during our stay. Communication was perfect! I highly recommend this condo - you won’t be disappointed!

Nice JW Alternative

This is a quiet place to stay for a vacation directly within walking distance from the beach. It worked well for my small family and the host was very communicative. The check in process has you leave a key in an outdoor lockbox on the condos outside door and use a separate key on the door to the condo. This made us very uncomfortable as you don’t know who all has the lockbox code. Besides that it was okay. There was some mold in the bathroom shower, and limits on how much toilet paper and towels you could use without being charged additional, which is pretty tacky. Overall, it felt like a pricey motel and in our opinion, overpriced for the quality. Likely will not stay again.

Very nice modest place to stay clean, AC worked great..but it would be nice if they added shampoo conditioner and sheets would be white to look more modern. I mean place was very clean just little touches for it to look newer more modern.

Cute, clean and great location!

We loved our stay in this cute condo and would return and recommend. We found the size just right for the two of us. The condo was clean with a very comfortable king bed and a fully stocked kitchen. The location was conveniently located mid island and across the street from the beach access path. We also liked eating on the balcony. It is covered so if it rains you can still enjoy some outdoor time.

Great Location and Updated Unit!

You really can't beat the location for the price. It's DIRECTLY across the street from a public access to the beach - 5 minute walk down a tree lined path and boardwalk. The unit is just as shown, newly updated and clean. Very homey and relaxing. The pool and grounds are very nice and well maintained. I have three small nits which wouldn't change our decision to stay. First, it took a little prompting to get the check-in information and we received it day of. Would be nice to have a day or two ahead for peace of mind. Second, the traffic/road noise in the living room (where the sofa bed is if you use it) is surprisingly loud. Several times I checked to see if the sliding glass doors were open (they weren't). Might be good to invest in new, thicker glass/multi pane doors. Finally, and this is truly a nit, the lock on the door to the unit is pretty difficult to operate and requires some finesse and patience. Again, none of these would stop us from coming back, but more info is always better than less imo. Hope to come again!
