Wonderful stay with my daughter

Condo was beautiful and the decor was perfect and had everything we needed in the kitchen. Such a short walk to the beach and the beach was not busy at all. The pool was nice and the staff was very helpful when I had questions. I would absolutely stay again!

Everything that was needed for a relaxing trip was available. The condo was well decorated and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need to prepare meals if you didn't want to eat out. There's also some good restaurants and a deli very close. Having the beach chairs and umbrella was a definite plus. The beach being a short walk was great! Being able to take an early beach walk and find some beautiful shells was something I enjoy doing and not having to rush or drive to the beach was what I was looking for.

Clean and comfortable one bedroom condo with bath, small kitchen, living room with 2 person dining table. Screened in balcony with nice outdoor furniture. Excellent beach umbrella and two chairs for beach. King size bed. It was hard to figure out the TV; eventually we logged onto our Netflix. The beach was maybe a quarter mile walk or less. The Lighthouse Beach just a little further with paved walking/bike bath along the street. Restaurants nearby. Very nice stay.

We would have loved to have a few large tumblers for beverages. We rented bikes but initially thought by the listing they we available on site with the rental. Loved getting the umbrella and chairs. Property was in a location we enjoyed and the beach was great too.
