We loved our stay! The room was clean and updated, all amenities worked as they should, it was a very short walk to the beach, and the pool was nice.

Thank you, Ashley! I'm thrilled to hear you enjoyed the stunning views! We appreciate your feedback and look forward to welcoming you back for more memorable moments!
It was a nice place to stay and just steps away from the beach. The manager was easy to communicate with. It's a family friendly place that we would use again. Great price as well!
Looks exactly like the photos. Clean bedrooms and bathrooms

We enjoyed the stay. The pool was a great companion to the beach. The tiny bathroom with the pocket door is a clever use of space. My daughter thought it was fun. The beach access was easy and parking underneath the property was perfect.

Thank you, Sara! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay and found the pool and beach access convenient. It’s wonderful that your daughter loved the clever bathroom design! We look forward to welcoming you back soon!
We had a very relaxing stay. Condo was equipped with everything we needed. Walk to beach was very convenient. We went at a very hot time of the year so it was a bit challenging to keep the condo cool especially in the front bedroom. Even though there was a portable AC for that room, it wasn’t working so we ran out and grabbed a fan. Overall very happy with our visit. Weather could not have been better.

Thank you, Bobbie! I'm so glad you had a relaxing stay and enjoyed the convenience of our location. I appreciate your feedback about the AC and will look into it. We’d love to welcome you back for another visit in the future!
* PERFECT * This was a really nice place. We had everything we needed. We even left kid play sand toys. My husband is 50 & I’m 47, the only issue is it’s 32 steps up. I have a terminal lung disease so this was brutal on me. Really need an elevator.

The condo is extremely small. While there are enough beds for 6 people, the second bathroom is tiny, and my teens had to share the master with me because of the size. The pics are deceiving. If you have older kids, this condo is tiny. It needs an upgrade and a deep clean. I swept and mopped and gave everything a wipe down when we arrived.

Thank you, Heather, for sharing your experience. I sincerely apologize for any discomfort you encountered regarding the size of the condo. Your feedback is appreciated, and we are committed to making improvements.
Great condo especially for the price!!! Perfect location for families. Close to everything but on the other side of the large crowds! Right on the beach. Small complex is perfect for people with children or adults looking for a relaxing quiet beach trip! The condo is a great size for our family of 5. 2 bathrooms is a must for us! The only thing I would add would be a small table to the balcony to sit my coffee on in the morning while watching the waves. The beds were comfortable. Tv in all the rooms. I was happy to see an actual coffee pot.. they do have a kureig if thats your style to. We will be back!

Thank you, Suzie! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay and found our condo perfect for your family. Your suggestion for a balcony table is appreciated—we're always looking to enhance our guests' experience. We can't wait to welcome you back!
This is a quiet, cozy condo with a great view of the beach from the balcony. There is private beach access and parking for two vehicles. Check-in and check-out were super simple, and the property manager checked in often to make sure we had everything we needed. There were no complicated cleaning expectations before check-out (we have had this happen at other condos). There were plenty of fresh towels, blankets, and extra pillows.
We loved everything about this place. We had covered parking, beds were decently comfy, everything was clean and we felt safe as we are just me, my sister, my daughter whos 8. Unfortunately we got a call shortly after arriving that pur grandfather that we were caring for had passed. We didnt get to do many things while we were there but we felt we had a cozy safe place to grieve. The host were incredibly kind and checked on us the entire time. Plus there werent any crazy cleaning rules as a lot of places have. Just basic clean up after yourself. Private Beach access qas a huge plus too as we didnt realize that a lot of places that are on the beach are gated off and you cannot get in without a key fob. Definitely recommend this place.
