We had such a chill stay in that beachfront condo, it was the perfect size for two people. Super easy to get in and out of town, and everything was clean and well-stocked. Just chilling in the living room watching the waves crash was pure bliss, and spending hours on the balcony watching birds and the ocean vibes? Totally awesome. We’d totally come back during the warm months for sure.

Outstanding Stay

Great place to unwind and relax. The view from the deck was awesome. We sat outside and watched a lightning storm out at sea for 45 minutes one night and the full moon crossing the sky and glistening on the waves another. Cozy, restful, and peaceful.

It was dusty and dirty bathtub was dirty and showerheads were old. Furniture was terribly uncomfortable. After a long day at the beach you need comfy couches and chairs. The view was great very very nice. But, the door needs work to keep it shut, in order to lock it when stepping out. There should be a sing or disclosures out no elevator for us semi handicapped, Again the balcony and beach and view...outstanding. it needs work.

Nice place.. we’d stay there again.

Shining sea was perfect for us. Right on the beach, clean and affordable. No need to do a search.. we’d rent it again. Alan is great with responding to any questions you may have.
