Thank you for the glowing five-star review. We're delighted that you enjoyed your time at our vacation rental. We'd love to see you again for another fantastic getaway!
We were so happy with this place we rebooked it immediately. I’m just praying they replace the king mattress. We both had major neck and back issues the week following. It was that uncomfortable.

Your five-star review means the world to us! We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay at our vacation rental. We'd love to have you back for another fantastic getaway!
The place was absolutely amazing! We loved it ... great view, lanai, and pool. Loved having the chairs at pool to take to the beach. We will hopefully be back next year. The only thing lacking was only 1 roll of paper towels, no tissues, only 1 trash bag. Also, there were no comforters on the beds, only a thin paperlike cover, and only 1 thin blanket in the closet. A nicety would also be a keurig coffeemaker. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear you loved the condo, the view, the lanai, and the pool setup. It’s great to know the beach chairs were a bonus for you, and we’d love to welcome you back next year!
We also appreciate the helpful feedback. We provide a starter set of essentials to get guests going, but we’ll review the quantities to ensure they’re meeting expectations. We’ll also look into adding additional bedding options and will pass along the coffee suggestion.
Thank you again for staying with us and for the thoughtful notes. We’re so glad you had an amazing vacation! 🌴✨

Great location
Overall we had a great stay. Easy access to the beach, comfy beds, easy parking. Washer and dryer near our unit did not work and we tried to use the oven but there was too much grease at the bottom that it made the smoke detector go off. Would like the owner to supply more trash bags and toilet paper. Also, tried to play tennis but gates were locked 😞.
