My wife and I wanted a place that was both dog-friendly and a short walk to the beach. This place nailed it on both fronts and then some! The condo was easy to access, the hosts gave detailed instructions on check-in and check-out, and the unit was spacious and relaxing. We are already planning on booking here again for our next trip to SSI!
