We had an absolutely magical weekend at this charming beach place. The space was spotless, cozy, and perfectly stocked with everything we needed—from fresh linens to a fully equipped kitchen. Nestled in a peaceful condominium that felt like our own private retreat, yet just minutes from events, water sports, local eateries, etc. Also, security staff on the property are very friendly. We’ll definitely be back—10/10 recommend for a relaxing getaway!

Our stay at the condo was wonderful. We loved the condo location and how close it was to the beach! All the rooms were clean and so comfortable! We really enjoyed being able to go to the beach and then mid-day come back to the condo for a quick lunch then back to the beach! Sitting on the balcony in the morning and evening was so relaxing. Wonderful place and we will definitely go back!

Very clean, comfortable and well stocked unit. Easy, quick access to beach. Exceptional ocean view with large balcony. Walking distance or very short drive to many great restaurants, shopping and fun. Would highly recommend—was perfect for our trip with grown kids but would be just as good for younger ones as well. Very friendly staff—easy booking!

About the host

Host profile image

What makes this property unique

This condo is at the perfect level to view the beach from the balcony. It is low enough to take the stairs if the elevators are crowded - if you park on the third level, it's only two flights up. There is no carpet in this condo; it is all luxury vinyl plank. This makes it easy to clean and it a great floor for people with allergies or asthma. The beach is literally just steps from the elevator; there is no long boardwalk or crowded pool area to walk through to get to the beach.
