Great location, clean and has everything you need plus all the extras. All the little details were thought of. Host was great as well. Thanks for a lovely stay. Highly recommend!
This was a perfect spot for our family of 4. The location right on the seawall with beach access right across from the condo on the first floor. The weather was less than ideal during our stay but it was still an enjoyable view! I could sit and watch the waves from the porch or the living room for hours! Everything was clean and fresh, well decorated and the fresh flowers in the master added a nice touch. The gift bag was an unexpected perfect addition! Highly recommend this property! I will definitely be back given the opportunity.

We loved this condo. It had everything we needed. The beach is across the street. We sat on the porch a lot because the view was so perfect. It is not located in the middle of lots of people and traffic, a little west but a short driving distance to everything you need.

Elaine was the best hostess I’ve had in a long while (having stayed at several VRBOs in the last two years). The condo was perfect, well-stocked and Elaine/the hosts added several fine touches that made us feel at home. I highly recommend this rental and look forward to staying here again next chance I have.
