Nice quiet condo

Nice condo way down the island away from all the hustle and bustle. Only nine condos in the complex so it was nice a quiet. Great green space for us to take the dog to. Wonderful views from the balcony. Beach service was a big plus. Easy beach access.

INCREDIBLE VIEW

We were looking for a condo to just relax and unwind, and that’s exactly what we found! The area was quiet (no noisy neighbors) but the BEST features are the incredible views and the fact that you are literally steps to the beach! You can see for miles in either direction which made for awesome sunrise and sunset photos. We will definitely be back!!

A very relaxing stay. Loved the big windows and balcony with ocean views. Well supplied condo. Even had a junk drawer! I loved it! I found a few things I needed. Nice well kept grounds to walk your dog on. Nice comfy bed and good linens. 5 stars all around.
Pearl enjoyed the balcony as much as I did!

Amazing.

We had a 3 night stay, the condo was very comfortable and family friendly. The views were amazing and the family was able to watch the sunset from the balcony, as well as pelicans diving and even pods of dolphins off in the distance. Cindy the host was amazing! We will definitely be back, hopefully for a longer trip next time. CINDY
