What a wonderful last minute getaway spot for our small family! The beach was just a short walk away, property was squeaky clean (wonderful for my OCD!), and overall relaxing. The customer service was super responsive and helpful when I made a mistake on check in time. We loved it all!

Hi Shelly, Thank you for your feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed the location — with the ocean just across the street and the pool just steps away, it really is a great spot for relaxing and exploring. We appreciate your note about the view and understand how that can enhance a stay. Hopefully, the convenience and comfort made up for it, and we’d love to welcome you back again soon! Sincerely, Kim & The Shore Dreams Vacation Rentals Team
Our family loved our stay in this beautiful, quaint, quiet little community condo, nestled just a short walk across the street from the ocean and private beach. We were walking distance from two amazing restaurants, and a short drive to shops and enertainment. The community pool was heated which was a nice surprise, and everyone we met was so nice. We loved the area and our cozy stay!

Overall wonderful stay. Short walk to beach access. The property manager did misinform me that we had two complimentary chairs and umbrella from the beach service, however we didn't.
We will be coming back again and again, I have stayed at the Chataeu before and was able tl bring my wife and son to thr beach for the first time. It was an amazing experience and thr beach spoiled us, we will never find a beach with as clear of water

Hi Yuriy!
Thank you for taking the time to review your recent stay. I am so glad to hear that you and your family enjoyed the beach and the crystal clear water! We hope that you will visit us again soon! Sincerely, Kim & The Shore Dreams Vacation Rentals Team
The condo was homey for sure but it did need a really good dusting. It was nice of them to have chairs and a nice canopy for use. The walk wasn’t too bad to the beach. Please bring everything or be prepared to buy everything as the condo only provides a thing of paper towels and a couple rolls of toilet paper. Neighbors are really nice and beaches are beautiful.
