The condo is a little outdated, but clean and comfortable. The beach chairs they let us use were great! Ocean view is very nice as well, I loved sitting on the balcony and reading to the ocean sounds and feeling the salty breeze. The walk to the beach is short and easy. We did not go to the outdoor pool, so I have no opinion on it. The beach was sparsely populated- a perfect vacation overall.

Appreciated renter's communication and honesty! Some concerns have already been addressed. Property description was updated to manage expectations. Major updates continue to be on hold until rental income can fund them.

This property is well loved. It is great for small families. It is very clean and well taken care of. The hosts are wonderful in providing beach chairs, beach towels, beach toys for children and even a wagon to transfer your load to the beach. The hosts also provide necessities such as shampoo, sugar packets, salt/pepper, coffee, creamer etc. Just know some of these items are from previous tenants and if you are not comfortable with that, please bring your own. We appreciated this property as it is not stripped from top to bottom. This is a big help. The hosts communicate very well upon arrival and during your stay if you need anything. We will come back to this property for just that reason. A big thank you to our hosts. We had a wonderful long weekend. We can't thank you enough.

Great location!

I enjoy relaxing while at the beach as opposed to being in the midst of hustle and bustle and this was a great place to do just that! Not too far of a drive to some fantastic restaurants, and in a great spot where the beach wasn’t over crowded. Very much enjoyed our stay
