Great!

Great place! Very clean and updated. The extra amenities (beach towels, beach chairs, coolers, etc) were a helpful surprise. Laundry on site super convenient. There was a complimentary bottle of wine which was super kind (we don’t really drink but appreciate the gesture). Highly recommend this condo!!

Fantastic! I needed for nothing! Only thing that iterated me slightly was the people upstairs. Their children stomped and ran for hours. But that isn’t the owners fault.Great location!

Vicki was the best host I’ve ever experienced in my time of renting vacation homes. Communication was top notch. The home was immaculate and she left lots of tips for first time visitors. I really appreciated the ear plugs for the traffic noise outside. Absolutely anything wakes me up and I was able to sleep soundly through the night. I highly recommend.
