Beautiful unobstructed beach views with an easy 2 minute walk from inside the condo to ON the beach! Kitchen fully stocked with everything we needed for a family of 5. Listing was accurate as far as amenities etc. The tile floor was sandy already when we checked in even though we had not been to the beach yet. Decent space for the price - nothing fancy/pretty basic finishes and furniture. . . Several broken things around the place (one handle broken off on the outside of the slider to the balcony, hole in the wall of one closet like a hook or shelf came down, lots of scuffing on walls, trim etc).

Week for spring break

This property was amazingly beautiful and clean. Had everything we needed for the stay. Balcony right over the outdoor pool which made it nice to watch my kiddos while they were swimming and the ocean view and short distance to the beach was excellent.

Other than some minor plumbing & HVAC issues, we enjoyed our stay, especially with the beach being just steps away. The views were great.The unit is located right above the pool, so if you had the doors open to the balcony, you heard all the noise coming from the pool area.

A Time Was Had!

We had the most amazing time here! Age ranges from 55 to under 1 and I think each one of us had just as much fun as the other as there was space and activities for all of us! In walking distance to so much! Easy process and we hope to be back sooner than later!

Older property but it had been updated as best one can. It is a little noisy compared to other condos weve stayed at...for the price, it was a good deal. Overall. Satisfied with the value

Great location

This property has a great location. Walking distance to many different bars and restaurants and shops. Right on the beach with a great ocean view. The balcony is right above the swimming pool. This unit is not updated, however, we didn’t spend much time in the condo anyway. We were there for a baseball tournament and it was very close and easy access to the fields. Kitchen is stocked with anything you would need to cook. The master bedroom is huge and the bed was comfortable. Communication is through text messaging with the property manager, who gets back to you in a timely manner.

Excellent stay

The condo was exactly as described with great beach access. Condo was clean and comfortable. My husband and son enjoyed playing chess during the light rain one morning. No issues what so ever. Property manager was very helpful as well. Enjoyed the leave one take one beach toy area. Chair rental on the beach if you don’t have chairs. Will stay here again! Washer & dryers were a plus.

Location fantastic and accommodation

No lobby but just phone with questions and promptly answered. Elevator areas could be spruced up especially fan grates. Room floor was extremely dirty resulting in black feet. Living room sofas need replacing, they sink when sat upon. Very large kitchen well furnished, tv with lots of channels. Plenty of towels.nice pool including a shady are. We would stay again since these are correctable
