Great!

Great place! Very clean and updated. The extra amenities (beach towels, beach chairs, coolers, etc) were a helpful surprise. Laundry on site super convenient. There was a complimentary bottle of wine which was super kind (we don’t really drink but appreciate the gesture). Highly recommend this condo!!

Vicki was the best host I’ve ever experienced in my time of renting vacation homes. Communication was top notch. The home was immaculate and she left lots of tips for first time visitors. I really appreciated the ear plugs for the traffic noise outside. Absolutely anything wakes me up and I was able to sleep soundly through the night. I highly recommend.

The place was beautiful and very clean. House was very organized and had everything that you will need . The host was very friendly and helpful she even let me check in early because my flight was early morning. I really enjoyed my stay here and I recommend it for sure.
