Beautiful property with a perfect location and beach view! We couldn’t have asked for anything better! The condo is beautiful done and on the first floor, and it is directly next to the pool. This made it so easy to hop back and forth between the beach, the pool, and the condo without any hassle. You’ll love being able to sit on the porch in the morning and enjoy the beautiful view while you’re drinking your coffee! It was the best way to start each day. If you’re looking for a little more secluded, relaxing, beach vacation, this is your spot!! Fun shopping and dining are close by, but we enjoyed the place so much, we only ventured out on two different occasions. Don’t hesitate to book this place! It made for the perfect family beach trip for my three kids, my husband, and my parents. Just FYI, You will have to walk up and down several stairs to get to the beach since the house is on a bluff, but the vast majority of beach rentals have this requirement… we will definitely look into rebooking this place in the future!
