Everything was perfect! The property has everything you may need: dishes, towels, beach chairs, umbrella, cooler etc. The host was quick to respond when we had questions, and the check-in and check out process was very easy and smooth. The view from the balcony is breathtaking! You can hear the sound of the sea from up there! I’d 1000% book again!

Great condo and location!

The property has a lot of amenities and is walking distance to shops and dining. Location is great! The condo itself has everything you need. The chairs on the patio are Adirondack, not the most comfortable and can’t see over the railing when sitting, but the ocean view is amazing. The management was very proactive and communicative.

Great stay!!!

I give it 5 stars! The condo was better than the pictures even showed. We recieved a welcome email with a code to get in 1 week before our dates, and we had zero issues upon arrival. The building is well-maintained, parking is easy/free, the building is gated, and the condo itself is really nice with a beautiful view. We had a great week here and will book again in the future!

SO CLEAN! Will definitely be back!

This condo was nothing short of amazing! Communication with the owner was easy! The cleanliness was outstanding, I have never been to the beach and stayed at a place so clean (& we go often, so this says a lot). We literally didn’t even feel sand on the floor or in the bed. Very well taken care of! Condo was up to date on appliances and furniture. We will definitely be back!!! Thank you so much, Steve!

Spring Break Family Trip

Overall the stay was great! The condo was a great size for our family of 4. The view from our balcony was amazing, we spent every morning out there drinking our coffee, what a great way to start your day! We had a minor issue with the cleanliness of the condo but it was addressed immediately and we were very pleased with the communication with the host. The location of the condo was right in the center of the main strip so it was busy, making it a little difficult to enter and exit the resort.
