My family and I enjoyed our weekend visit to this small tucked away place on Fletcher Ave. The unit was modern, clean, neat, and situated perfectly in front of the dunes and ocean! The view from our porch was really nice and it was a short travel to the beach and pool. The outside seats were very comfortable, and my wife and I wish we had more time there!

The condo was nice, comfortable sofas, but the beds & pillows were horrible in both bedrooms.

Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 16 March 2025
Unfortunately, we are unable to provide feather pillows on the beds due to allergy concerns for other guests. As you can see from previous reviews, we have not received complaints regarding the mattress. Mattress firmness and softness are very much a matter of personal preference, and we do our best to select options that appeal to a wide range of guests. We’re sorry to see that this aspect of your stay led to a 3-star review, but we do appreciate your feedback.
Missed the beach since we sold our unit at another property. Closest thing to our own property. Close to the beach, close to shopping, beautiful view of the ocean, loved watching the rabbits and tortoises, clean pool, comfortable and relaxing unit. Would definitely come back.
