This two bedroom, 1.5 bath condo was clean, well stocked with towels, had a nice kitchen, and cutely decorated. The condo is part of a condominium complex that is on the beach, but this building isn't. However, it's a short walk through the property and still qualifies for "on the beach" since you don't cross a street. The owners have beach chairs, water toys, and a cooler guests can use (I didn't use them, but its nice knowing they are there!). I didn't use much in the kitchen, but it seemed like an adequate supply of pots, pans, etc. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would stay again!

The single beds were really comfortable and we liked having separate bathroadults so didn’t try the sleeper sofa but the couch was comfortable and the place had everything we needed.

Thanks so much for your review! We are really glad you found the beds comfy and liked having the separate bathrooms. Happy to hear the couch and everything else worked well for your stay, too. Just a quick note for future guests — the beds in the second bedroom are full/double-sized — and we’re glad they provided a great night’s rest! Thanks again for staying, and you’re welcome back anytime!

My husband, myself, and our 4 daughters stayed here and loved it! House was fresh and clean. Kitchen is stocked with very helpful things. Kids dishes were nice to have, so they didn’t have to use glass. I loved the space connected to the master room. It was plenty of room to put bags that didn’t need to be out all the time, hang laundry, etc. We had plenty of space for our family of 6 and didn’t feel crowded at all. The girls loved being able to fish, just downstairs from the house. Just a couple minutes to walk to the beach and it’s a nice walk. Hosts were very friendly and responded quickly, to any questions. Check in and out process was a breeze! Highly recommend this place and hosts. Will definitely come back, if we get the chance! Thank you for making our stay comfortable and memorable!

Heaven on Stilts was a clean and cozy retreat. Two adults and two teen girls had space to ourselves and room to get ready. We enjoyed the beach (short walk), the pool, and the ducks and turtles that greeted us from the lagoons.
