Beautiful ocean views! The condo was clean, comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked (even a crockpot). Our host was super helpful. We loved our stay here!
We had a wonderful stay here. Karen was easy to communicate with and provided a clean and comfortable place to stay. Great view and location (right on the beach) and lots of things to do. Highly recommend!
Excellent property with beach right outside back door of condo and nice pool and hot tub. It is within walking distance of lots of fun things and shopping. Patio overlooks the beach and the kitchen was well stocked. Be sure to bring extra toilet paper and paper towels. We had 6 adults and had a fantastic time there.
Easy to get to, on the beach, comfortable accommodations. The owner was great to work with and very responsive to our requests. We would highly recommend this rental.
