Nice, Clean and Walking distance to beach, restaurants and shops!

Our trip started with excellent communication with ITrip. Our little cottage was perfect for 2 of us. It would be cozy for 4 but you could do it. Very clean and easy to get in and out of without having to worry about a key. The pool was very nice to cool down and relax. My favorite part was the porch with the quality Adirondack chairs to sit and relax. I would recommend!

Cottage condo was clean and exactly as remodeled advertised. Perfect size for the week vacation. Close access to the beach yet very quiet neighborhood. Parking, grounds, pool and laundry room tidy and met my needs. Management was quick to reply to questions. Only concern was low water pressure in shower and VERY spotty wi-fi. Would not recommend if you need reliable wi-fi. Otherwise, I fully intend to return and would recommend.

It’s proximity to Beach access is alone worth the booking. The cottage is clean and has the necessary items you’ll need during your stay. I like the scent of the soaps they left in the bathroom. The little porch is perfect resting on after sending all day at the beach. We would definitely stay here again.

This location will definitely go on my favorites list. Stayed for a short time for a graduation over the weekend and was sad to leave. Will need to come back for a longer stay as we only took advantage of a few amenities (ticket to Dalí Museum). Property manager was quick to respond and plenty to see and do within walking distance.

We had a great time here-weather was sunny, beaches are beautiful and the location was close to the water,shopping, and restaurants. A few things could be added-dish drainer and extra kitchen towels due to no dishwasher and a laundry basket. The hot water was very hit or miss as well! Overall-great stay!

Arrived an hour early and cleaning lady informed there was no AC. It was 85 outside and 95 inside. The manager said he could get it fixed so we waited 3 hours. It couldn’t be fixed and by that time we couldn’t go anywhere else. We left the following day and stayed at airport hotel and flew home incurring 550 additional in airfare. The manager is rude and arrogant. Works for ITRIP check out their reviews on Trust Pilot and you’ll be shocked that vrbo lets them list their properties

Response from VrboOwner on 29 March 2026
We apologize for the AC trouble. The entire system was replaced the next day, but we do understand how frustrating this can be to Guests during a vacation. Unfortunately, we were not able to keep this reservation, but we can assure future guests that everything is working great and this will not be a problem going forward.
