This condo was perfect! Everything we were looking for to entertain out 2 teenage kids. Great view! Short walk to the fishing pier! We were able to walk to dinner every night and walk the shore each morning. Michelle was wonderful and easy to communicate with. I had a problem navigating Vrbo and she sent me everything I needed to know via email. We will definitely be coming back!!

Wonderful trip

Came down with sisters/friend. The condo was beautifully decorated and clean. The location was perfect! No high rise on one side of the condo, so we had beautiful views from our windows. Also beautiful places to take pictures and the pier is just a short walk where you can get pictures under it. Definitely will stay here again.
