Beautiful view of sunrise!

Overlooks the beach, can sit on balcony to watch sunrise (no scrambling to find a spot). The condo is nice, clean and there are reminders everywhere to keep you from incurring extra charges. Over all it was lovely! Will come back!

Beach Stay

Communication with property manager was great. As was the access in and out of the property. Beautiful view of the beach. Bed was very comfortable, kitchen was very nice, had most things we needed, couch and recliner comfortable along with the balcony furniture. Would stay here again, for sure. A few things that would have made it more comfortable, kleenex, cutting board, coffee, cooking spray and some seasonall.

Great location

The apartment was very nice with a beautiful view. Easy walk to Wanna Wanna and Kelly's Pub. Communication was an issue. We arrived earlier in the day than anticipated so messaged Laura to see if we could check in early. No response so I called and got voicemail but no call back. Finally contacted Judy but she could not help us. Also had an issue with one of the remoted when we tried to get local news so texted Laura again to double check if the numbers on the instruction were service people - didn't want them to get a charge if it wasn't necessary again no response. Once these ladies learn to communicate with their clients this will be a perfect booking. The laundry room was next door so was easy to do a little before we left.

Clean Small Condo

The condo itself was clean and fine for our stay. The property itself was an older unit and we were disappointed the hot tub was not clean and extremely small. However, the beach was wonderful and overall the condo met our needs. The supply of towels , including beach towels was very nice also. The chairs and umbrella were a plus as well!
