View of the beach was just as pictured on the website. Access to the room was super easy with keypad and not having to keep up with a room key. Would definitely stay again! Weather could have been much better but can’t always plan around Mother Nature.

The view was perfect overlooking the beach. I loved having my morning coffee and sitting in the last afternoons on the deck. This was a much needed relaxing vacation.

Perfect Location

Perfect location for Sand in My Boots festival. Close enough to walk to venue. When on the balcony we could even hear some of the music (if the waves were quiet enough). Very cute accommodations, with plenty of space to relax. Check-in was incredibly easy and communication was top notch.

Great location

We had a great stay here. The location was fantastic, we walked to dinner every evening! When the coffee maker wasn’t working as well as it should have, I submitted an issue via the app and just a short time later someone arrived with a new coffee maker.

Great Girls Trip

We had an exceptional time. This Condo is plenty spacious and has everything you would expect to find in a nicely appointed rental and the view of the beach is amazing. Access to the beach below was so convenient since this building is on the beach. We had such a great time we are planning to go back very soon.

Stay from May 1st-May 5th

It was a very nice condo. Loved the location and being right on the beach. Everyone was so nice and friendly. I would recommend changing the door handle to the balcony because it was hard to use. Would stay here again and bring more family member with us because there was plenty of space!

Family vacation

This a perfect spot for relaxation and fun. You have quick and easy access to grocery stores, restaurants and more. The condo is super comfortable and quiet. It has lots of space for families to stretch out and have personal time. The condo is fully stocked. We enjoyed direct and easy access to the beach and also enjoyed the pool. We will be staying staying there again soon .

Nice condo that holds a lot of guests

We really enjoyed our stay here. It holds a lot of guest for a great price! The view from this condo was perfect! The love seat was so comfortable! And I wanted to take the rocker chairs home with me. The only thing we wished it had some kind of ottoman to put your feet up. We definitely will be returning to this condo!
