This property was awesome! Great location if you want to just walk to the beach! White sand and beautiful water. Great place to eat two buildings over called the BEACHVIEW GRILL. Property was great! Place was clean and nice. Included a bunch of stuff for kids to play with at the beach and even beach chairs and umbrellas at the beach!

Absolute Perfection

Brought my mom here for a long weekend and my first time at the beach. This was THE place. Quiet, epic location, beach right out the back door, beach service is included during select months (absolute score) the place is extremely comfortable and accessible. 12/10 would come back and stay at the exact same spot! They even have extra chairs and kids toys available to use. Free parking, all the things. You won’t be disappointed!

Quiet Spot

Perfect beach front location. Beach is right out the back door & in a quiet, family friendly area. Sleeps 4 people well. Teenager 5’10”slept on the pull out couch & it was too small. Host had good communication. A great perk was the provided beach chairs & towels.

Nice place

This area was great. Surrounded by nice people all around. The beach was clean although there was seaweed but usually when we come this way its clear. If I could change anything it would be on a higher level so we can see the beach.

Great Family Location

This property is great for a family for a beach getaway. The ease of walking to and from the beach was perfect for little ones and to be able to take a break from the beach and for everyone to get out of the sun for a little bit. There was plenty of grassy area for out pup to walk in around the property and area as well. The property was set up as shown in the pictures. During our stay we were not aware of the dishwasher being broken so we had to hand wash all dishes. Would have been nice to have some extra paper products supplied to help cut down on dishes since having a dishwasher is a time saver for a big family. The pullout bed was covered in sand. We understand that sand happens at the beach but the mattress protector was not clean and covered when we opened it up to put the sheets on. I think the only thing I suggest to the owner is possibly replace the mattresses especially the king size one. You can tell many people have slept in it as the worn in spots were very uncomfortable. Overall the communication with the owner was spot on and very kind and punctual. I would stay again and recommend it to family as well.

With just a short walk to the beach, our stay was once again nice. The only thing I would have liked is the umbrella/chair set up to be earlier as our previous stays. The unit had new paint and kitchen table with no decor. Glad to see in process of updating.

We loved our stay! The complex was very easy to find and included free parking. The condo looked fresh and clean and recently updated. It came with bonuses we didnt expect. Our stay was very comfortable and we loved the beach just outside the back porch. The private beach was very clean and the umbrella and chairs that came included were already setup for us. There are plenty of restaurants and grocery stores nearby. Its a great location. We will be coming back!

My family has been staying at Vista Del Mar for approximately 28 years. We rent out multiple units. Ive always been partial to unit #3. My husband passed away a couple years ago and this was the unit we always stayed in. I guess it has sentimental meaning to me. Always been happy staying here.

Cozy condo that was a straight shot from the front door to the back with all living spaces to the left. Well organized and cute, the condo was great for what we needed. The beach out the back door was family-oriented and peaceful.
