My family and I stayed the week here and we absolutely loved this place. It looks exactly like the pictures. Very clean and everything was decorated really well. Parking was always easy and being on the first floor with 3 kids made it so easy getting to and from the beach or pool. I would highly recommend this place!

The condo was clean, beds were comfortable, and the view was amazing! We loved the outdoor swings overlooking the beach and close beach access point. Pool was small and crowded but we did not end up using it. Close to many shops and great restaurants. Overall fantastic place to stay and would definitely recommend to others visiting the area.

Relaxing Getaway

This was an excellent place for our group of friends to stay and renew before finishing out the school year. The view was gorgeous and the amenities were fresh and clean. We appreciated the attention to small as well as unexpected details like finding beach chairs and toys in the closet. When we weren’t walking the beach or enjoying the sound of the surf, there were plenty of places to explore. We are already talking about doing this again for our next spring break.
