I couldn’t have chosen a better place for our vacation. Not only was the cleanliness of the room immaculate, but the host, Susan, was absolutely wonderful! She was in communication with us throughout the entire experience and made herself available for any needs we might have had while there. The fully stocked kitchen came in very helpful. The beach view and ease of getting in and out of the room exceeded expectations. I appreciated the easy access to the beach and loved that the beach was not crowded during our stay. The elevator lobby was thoroughly cleaned throughout our stay and elevators functioned perfectly. My favorite part of our room was the amazing balcony furniture. As an early riser, I spend a lot of time sitting on the balcony working and enjoying the views while waiting for my family to wake up. It was a wonderful setup! Overall, could not have had a better experience. Will definitely recommend to others and plan to stay here again ourselves!

Everything we needed for our party of 5. Being about to sleep three in the second bedroom was perfect. Morning coffee on the balcony was as peaceful as you could imagine. Susan is a fantastic host as well…she is very responsive and provided us with a clean and well-equipped condo.
