What a wonderful last minute getaway spot for our small family! The beach was just a short walk away, property was squeaky clean (wonderful for my OCD!), and overall relaxing. The customer service was super responsive and helpful when I made a mistake on check in time. We loved it all!

Not clean. Too many rules about everything. Not enough kitchen utensils, paper towels, pans for cooking, cooktop not conducive to cooking properly on the burners, turntable in the microwave did not spin, tv was not easily managed to get the variety of shows you might be interested in. Chairs to the table were very hard and uncomfortable. Mattress was not great for sleeping.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that several aspects of the property did not meet your expectations. We’re especially concerned to hear about the cleanliness and maintenance issues mentioned, as we did not receive any reports of these concerns during your stay. We wish we had known at the time so our team could have had the opportunity to inspect the property, assist with the TV and appliances, and address any cleanliness concerns right away. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the kitchen supplies, furnishings, mattress, and property guidelines. Our goal is for those guidelines to help care for the home while still allowing our guests to enjoy a comfortable and relaxing vacation. Thank you again for your feedback. We’ll share your comments with our team for review as we continue working to improve the guest experience.

Perfect family getaway!

Our family loved our stay in this beautiful, quaint, quiet little community condo, nestled just a short walk across the street from the ocean and private beach. We were walking distance from two amazing restaurants, and a short drive to shops and enertainment. The community pool was heated which was a nice surprise, and everyone we met was so nice. We loved the area and our cozy stay!
