Beautiful location

The condo was clean and comfortable with an outstanding ocean view—beautiful sunrises and sunsets. If you intend to cook, you may want to bring your cookware with you, but it’s located very near to excellent restaurants. We did not use the pool, but why would you when the gulf is just steps away. We would definitely return.

It was lovely

This was the perfect place in the perfect location for our family. Everything was clean and we had everything needed for a cozy weekend at the beach. We had one issue with one of the toilets not flushing and they sent someone right away to fix it. Our last night we watched the Labor Day fireworks on the pier from the balcony, and the last morning we spent out there watching the dolphins. This is the perfect spot for a familu get away.

What a view!

We loved the property overall. The fire sprinkler did leak so we had to keep a towel down to catch the water (we called and they vowed to fix it). But that didn’t stop us from having a great vacation. You really can’t beat the location and view.

Beautiful views!

This Condo was everything we needed! The view was amazing! The 2 bedroom Condo had a bedroom with a full and twin bed! Perfect for my 6 and 11 yr old daughters! The beds even had cute night light headboards. Comfy, cozy and only steps from the beach. There was a covered pArking space also! We would stay here again, and would definitely recommend!
