We were extremely happy with our stay. The condo had everything we needed, the bed was very comfortable, and the unit was very cleanThe view of the ocean from the balcony was beautiful, and the sounds of the ocean were very relaxing. Being on the 6th floor works well because you avoid any noise from the pool area but still feel close to the ocean. I always look for corner units because they feel more spacious and bright, as this one did. The hosts were very responsive, check in was easy and on site parking is very convenient. I would not hesitate booking this unit for your vacation. It’s an exceptional choice

Exemplary communication with host, ease of check in and out, location and cleanliness of unit. Breathtaking sunrise and sunset views directly from private beachfront balcony. Anything and everything to cook with plus lots and lots of towels available so you don’t have to do laundry! Would stay here again in a heartbeat.
Sunrises were worth getting for!
An evening ritual- “wine down” with the sun. Sunsets are spectacular from the balcony.
