We loved our stay here! The view was stunning, and we had a nearly direct route to the ocean. Everything was exceptionally clean, well cared for, and offered our family of 5 a cozy retreat after a day of swimming and shopping. Our host was helpful, kind, and proactive in communication. We would absolutely stay here again!

Chose this condo for the gulf view, it had a pool and easy beach access as it's literally on the beachfront. The view from the balcony is stellar, we sat and watched dolphins every morning whilst drinking our coffee.Condo was clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed to cook, plenty of seating, plenty of towels and the master King was really comfy. AC and ceiling fans kept everywhere cool.Parking was included and plentiful. Easy to walk to restaurants or The Hangout in the evening. Would definitely go back!
