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!
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.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review. I hope you come back and visit again soon. Karen
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.
Beautiful condo, nicely furnished with a gorgeous corner view! Comfortable and spacious bedrooms with 3 full bathrooms. Plenty of room for our group of 5 women. Great location. Walking distance to many eating options. Don’t hesitate to book this unit!
