This condo was wonderful for the three of us. Very clean upon check in and excellent communication with the host. We had an issue with the TV and they were out the next morning to correct it. I would definitely stay here again. It’s about as close to the beach as you could get and we slept so good hearing the ocean during the night. The hosts were amazing. I’ve stayed in a lot of places on the coast but never have I had such good communication and customer service by the hosts. I hope this helps!

Seaside serenity

We cannot say enough about the view and the beauty of being so close to the ocean! The sound of the ocean could be heard even through the closed sliding glass doors, and I loved falling asleep to the roaring sea. Then, waking up to a sunrise and enjoying breakfast on the deck was simply wonderful! The inside of the condo was great too, and the decor just made me happy. It was the nicest place I have ever stayed!
