We will absolutely be staying here again! The condo was exceptionally clean, organized, and very welcoming. We really enjoyed the pool and hot tub, and the beach was literally just a minute down the road, which made the location perfect. The property was peaceful, comfortable, and exactly what we were hoping for. The host was also very responsive, helpful, and quick to answer any questions we had throughout our stay.We had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing beach getaway!

PERFECT location on the property and to parking. Everything was in very good condition - appliances, beds, etc. I loved the sofa bed! Claudia was very responsive, and even began texting me when I created two different communication threads on VRBO (have no idea how I did that). I would definitely stay here again.
