Twenty minutes into our check on my partner said I want to come back to this place. Super clean, amenities above what you normally get at the beach, q pantry with plenty of what you need and a well appointed kitchen. 6 stars out of 5. We're coming again next year.

Thank you so very much for the amazing feedback! We are so happy that you found our place clean, comfortable and with plenty of amenities. We spend a lot of time there in the off season and we travel a lot. It was important to us to have a comfortable space, provide spices, pantry staples and fridge condiments so that guests don’t have to buy all of those and to have a nice kitchen to cook that feels like our kitchen at home. We hope you enjoyed the beach and the area as much as you liked our place and we are so happy to have you return as our guests in the future!!!!

Thank you so much for the great feedback and we are so happy you enjoyed your stay! We agree that the view of the ocean cannot be beat from our deck and this is my favorite spot when we are there. We stocked the kitchen well to allow our guests and us to be able to show up and cook or bake without needing to buy a lot of stuff other than groceries, but not basic staples like spices, oils and condiments. Thank you for taking great care of our place during your stay and we hope you will stay at our place again in the future.

Thank you so much for your kind words and more importantly for taking such great care of our place during your stay!!! I really appreciate you letting me know about the deck box having broken hinges and saving my shadow box that fell. I was able to replace both of those right after you checked out and now it is all new and ready for your next stay.

Beautiful location

The condo was situated in an ideal area for our family vacation. It felt wonderfully secluded, with the natural area adjacent, but was so close to fun excursions and activities. We truly appreciated having a clean, comfortable “home base” with everything we needed provided!
