Had a great week at this darling condo. It’s so quiet and peaceful here. We saw one other person at the pool all week - and the pool is SPARKLING. The back porch is perfect for coffee - we saw deer several times! The property complex is extremely quiet and private. You are less than 5 min by car from Hawthorne Beach which is small but not congested at all - we were the only ones there at sunset one night. 10 min to downtown. Communication with Patti was fantastic. We have already booked our next visit in October! Recommend Sherman’s, Harbor Light Brewing and The Lodge.
