This is the second time my husband and I have stayed in this Condo. It is always clean and the view is beautiful. Our host has always been a pleasure to work with. The pool is available but we enjoy the beach so much we have never used it.

Great location and loved the proximity to the beach. A little dated in some areas as far as the building goes, I feel the price point is little high, but did come with beach service, we will probably be back.

Overall excellent experience from the condo being as described to ease of check in. My favorite features were the view-2nd floor balcony right on the beach. Perfect. Bed was super comfy and I slept better than I do at home. Incredible. The shower was awesome also. Great pressure and a hand wand. I just went into remission from a year of cancer treatment and this was our first trip and first vacation. It was exactly what we needed. Highly recommend this unit. Entire process was incredible and vacation was awesome. Thank You

We enjoyed our stay here. One thing I’ll say is if you have a toddler/child that takes baths keep in mind this condo only has a shower so you’ll want to plan accordingly. Other than that our stay here was nice.

This property was just as listed. Very nice and clean with a beautiful ocean view. The king bed is pretty firm but was comfortable. The condo was stocked enough for our needs. Beach is private and kept the crowds down which was very nice! The pool is very basic and faces the parking lot. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again!
