Perfect for a romantic getaway with your love or a playful time with the kids. Watch dolphins frolic in the ocean from the gazebo (normally around 5pm), stroll the warm sandy beach hand-in-hand while picking up shells, build sandcastles, bury each other in the sand... swim in the pools, walk the pier, fish, head to the nearby parks and historical locations! So much to do... or not! :)
Close to everything and includes all you could possibly need!

What a pleasant small condo for two people. Bed was perfectly comfortable, Wi-Fi fast, view nice, and location excellent. The beach gazebo was greatly enjoyed as was walking on the beach at low tide. Great pool too, although I just dangled my feet in and did not swim ;-).

Thanks so much for staying and for the goodies left! Enjoying one now. :) Great communication and great renter! Let us know when you'd like to stay again for fun instead of business.
This is a beautiful place to stay. Owner is wonderful and very responsive. Property was clean, linens were provided and the place smelled good/clean. Access to the beach was great. Beach was quiet and no crowds. Pool was nice. I highly recommend this place and we will definitely be back.
We could not have received a better stay for the 3 of us! It is right on the beach!!!! Having God’s beach as your backyard can’t get any better! Frances is amazing and we can’t wait to come back!!! Privacy and quietness is all I wanted and it was definitely delivered!

Thanks so much! So glad y'all had a good time! Please come back.
The rental is located within a few feet to a private beach. The unit is big enough for 2 to 3 people.
Having a laundry room on the promises was great to dry towels and to do a wash when needed.

This was exactly what we were looking for so we can get away for an end of summer vacation. Frances is very responsive with any concerns . The ocean/ beach combo Is perfect for anyone and it’s all just steps away from your room! Great town, restaurants,shops, attractions ! Thank you Frances! We enjoyed it here.

This little condo is a great choice for a couple. Clean with all the basics you need. The beach is just steps away and visible from the room. The only down side is that it is not handicap accessible and the stairs can be hard to navigate if you have mobility issues ( bad knees, arthritis, etc.). But other than that, it was wonderful! We would definitely stay here again!
The owners are very friendly and responsive. They have a check in/out sheet that is easy to follow and quite thorough.
The beach was very nice and not too crowded. The area was quiet and people were friendly.
The property is as represented in the listing. The kitchen is well stocked; my only suggestion there would be to add a toaster.
One small downside is the lack of any place to hang wet towels and bathing suits. the HOA does not allow you to hang them outside and the only place inside is the shower.
On the whole it was a lovely stay and we would recommend it to future beach goers.

Thanks so much! We added a toaster and have super fast Internet now. I agree about the towels and wish we could hang them outside as well so they could dry faster. We have few hooks in the bathroom behind the door, but I know it's not the same as wind dried. :)
Hope you're doing well and will stay again!
This condo is located right near a private beach and not far from restaurants and stores. We had an amazing time and loved that there was a pool too, since the ocean was really rough our first few days.
Highly recommend

I'm sorry you feel that way. We tried everything to make you happy, but it was apparent from the beginning that you were not someone who could be satisfied. First, you called because you couldn't figure out the lockbox, which was ok. You admitted to yanking on it, thus making the doorknob loose. When you said that it wasn't clean when you arrived, we offered to have housekeepers come back and we verified with the owner of the cleaning business that the cleaner spent an hour and a half there prior to your stay. You said you were leaving the room and did not want anyone there while you were gone, then did not answer any further messages.
I hope others can look at all the other reviews and not go by one negative person.
Good luck to you with your future rentals.
Everything went so smoothly. The property was exactly as described and just steps away from the beach. Frances was quick to respond to any questions that I had before our visit. I would but hesitate to book this place again. It had everything we needed, and the foldout was surprisingly comfortable.

So glad y'all enjoyed your time! It was nice talking to you. :)
The condo is small but perfect for a quick beach trip- perfectly located on the beach, private walkway and gazebo, and pool. It was clean and well-stocked. (We made a quick trip for coffee filters and cooking spray, otherwise every thing we needed was there). Would stay again.

So glad y'all had a good time! It's very nice having that Dollar General and Food Lion close by. I know it's saved me a bunch of times. :) Hope y'all come back! Enjoy the summer.
Hope y'all had a wonderful relaxing trip! We've updated everything inside, except the wonderful wood cabinets built by my granddaddy. ❤️ Our building wasn't affected by the storms, so unfortunately we haven't had the outside updated yet.
This was a amazing trip! Everything was perfect! The room was very clean and everyone was nice. There are some great places to eat and great things to do for all ages. We will be returning sometime soon.

I hope y'all made a lot of great memories! I still remember mine and my husband's first trip as a couple. It's one of the reasons I married him, as the trip was magical! ❤️
This was our first time in the area and we couldn’t have picked a better place to stay! Frances communicated so well with us and was so great! Being beach front was amazing. The condo was so comfy and provided everything we needed for our weekend get away. I will be sharing this property to everyone and we will definitely be back.

About the host
Hosted by Frances Flowers
The summers of my childhood were spent here, which is why I know that it's the perfect place to 'grow' and make yearly traditions! You will love it!
Why they chose this property
It is beachfront and near everything! You can roll out of bed and walk to the ocean in a few steps. You can relax and do nothing or stay busy and play! Either way, you will leave feeling refreshed and looking forward to the next time! We have people who book a year ahead and we're putting it on VRBO so we can share this with other families who need an affordable, yet nice, place to go.
Everyone here is very friendly and you will absolutely love the location! Also, you will not have to worry about strangers from other resorts walking through or parking, as it's a private place! The beach will never be crowded... YOU WILL LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT AND HAVE A GREAT TIME!! I'm 110% sure!
What makes this property unique
This is a first floor condo and you can park in front of your door. You can literally roll out of bed and get to the sand in a few steps.
