This is definitely a beach rental. Beautiful location. Close to many restaurants. The unit was clean and convenient. No beach equipment in storage was the only deterrent. Would definitely think about staying here again.

We are happy you enjoyed your stay and that we were able to deliver all new beach equipment to you during your stay. The closets were just rebuilt so the beach chairs are back and stocked. Hope to see you again soon.

Great beach access. Locker had a lot of beach supplies. It shows a picture with a bathtub, there wasn’t a bathtub. Beds weren’t comfortable-broke down. There was a foot print on the front of the refrigerator when we entered. Overall, had a great time.

We enjoyed our stay at Piper’s Nest. It was just steps from the beach & the storage closet made it very convenient. The area around the condo is very nice as well. The view was perfect from the balcony & even from the kitchen. It was a great family vacation.

This location was great. It was neat, clean and we enjoyed our stay. However if you are used to rentals having those little extras- this is not that. If you are flying in plan on bringing an XL suitcase and doing a good bit of shopping
