We stayed mid-July. As a family of 6 with mixed opinions about the beach :), EVERYONE enjoyed themselves. The location was perfect, as the beach was not over-crowded. We were close to many restaurants, convenience stores, and grocery stores. Everything was clean and we all fit comfortably! You won’t regret booking this one!

It was peaceful!

The location was great, secluded from the crowds and not busy with car noise or traffic. The condo looks just like in the pictures. It clean and has everything you need. I loved the fact they had kids plates and cups. They had plenty of board games. Which helped our teenagers keep busy, while the younger kids took a nap. The beach chair service was included, which was nice. The guy that attends the beach chairs is so sweet and has a great personality. We found a welcome book on our last day and it has instructions for a locker with beach chairs, buggie boards, football and other beach things. Bummer we didn’t see this book when we first got there. We so would have taken advantage of the stuff. Overall our stay was great! Would definitely comeback

This place was perfect. At the bottom of the stairs was the pool, and right past the pool was the beach. Literally steps. The reserved chairs and umbrella were so convenient, and the closet full of beach toys made it all so easy. The actual home was lovely, with comfy beds and all the kitchen utensils you could need. The balcony with the tables and chairs was a great way to start the day. I've been in a lot of rentals with my family, and this was easily the best.

Loved the location! Very quiet beach and quiet neighbors! The pool was perfect and family friendly for us to hangout with the other families of the condo.
