This ocean from view was stunning. We truly enjoyed our stay. The host was very friendly and clear about instructions. We appreciated the starter supplies of paper towels, soaps, trash bags, etc. The host also provided 4 beach chairs. It cost 55 a day to rent beach chairs, huge cost savings. The condo was clean and updated! Everything worked as intended.

Thank you so much! I’m so happy you enjoyed the ocean view and felt comfortable during your stay.
