The condo was absolutely amazing very spacious and clean. The parking situation was a little difficult if you are taking an oversized vehicle be prepared because parking is tight and there were a lot of compact cars parking in oversized vehicle parking but that’s not the hosts fault. The pool was very nice and the hosts were very responsive if we needed anything! Will definitely stay again for sure!

Location to the beach was great and what we wanted. The condo needs work, several areas were broken or falling off (master shower handle, master towel bar missing, baseboards have mildew, shower had mildew). Great kitchen and utensils though.

Spectacular unobstructed view of the ocean. A quick elevator ride down and boardwalk to the beach. The building provides carts to haul all your gear up to your condo, so nice! Walking distance to restaurants, ice cream, coffee, entertainment, and souvenir shopping. Loved the condo with two rooms with king beds! Made it so nice for two couples and kids traveling together. The washer and dryer in unit were a life saver. The condo has EVERYTHING you could possibly need and more. Bedding is so comfortable and cozy which was nice with the cold front we had to start our trip.

Thank you so much for the detailed and thoughtful review. We’re really glad you enjoyed the ocean views, the easy beach access, and especially the convenience of the building amenities like the carts and nearby shops and restaurants. It’s also great to hear the layout worked well for your group and that the in-unit washer/dryer and bedding helped make the stay more comfortable - especially with the colder weather at the start of your trip.
