Nice vacation spot for family

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It is an easy walk to the beach. We loved that we could walk back for the bathroom and meals. Love that this is pet friendly property. However, a caution for pet owners- there is no grass on the property. You have to walk your dog across the street or down the beach. The best route is to go down the beach through the access road and come up the sea wall steps in front of the constante condos where there are multiple patches of grass.

Washer/dryer were great to have in room. Pool is nice forKids to be able to play especially if they don’t know how to swim. We plan to go back again and stay here. Everything very clean. Could tell that someone cleaned the floors very well. So sandy/grit feeling. Management always helpful.

Clean and well maintained.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay here. Very nice, clean rental with all the items we needed for a weekend getaway. The property is also well maintained with a clean pool. Walking distance to the beach, although the road can get a little busy on weekends so we drove instead. The master bed was extra firm. The 2nd bedroom bed was good, except it is a bunk and it appeared the top bunk wasn’t installed correctly so we didn’t use it. Overall nice stay and we would stay here again.

Obsessed!!!

We visited to celebrate my youngest son’s 5th birthday and this place was a show stopper! My boys were so impressed and overjoyed with how clean and well done this place was. I’m a nit picky person and I was looking in every corner but could not find a thing to complain about. The kitchen had a perfect selection of kitchen utensils, bathrooms with enough toiletries, literally only had to buy our food…. They even had goodies waiting for our dogs. We locked ourselves out of the bedroom 30min after arriving and in under 30min someone showed up to help! Also have the pool/ play area right at the door was perfect, and not noisy in the slightest, and very clean…. also down from the play area around the corner are grills and covered tables, which were so clean and worked great for my sons birthday cook out. We were so sad to leave! The beach is right around the corner literally! We walked the shore 3 times a day, we can’t wait to go back! My boys are already eager to save up for our next visit!
