Location is great, close to beach, pool and hot tub. Nice balcony seating to people watch on the sidewalk. Only thing that would have made this one better was a couple beach chairs. Which are available to rent on the beach, but somewhat pricey.

Traveled with my husband, our 2 young kids (5 and 2.5 yrs), and my mother-in-law. Great location, very close walk to the beach. You do have to cross a busy street for the beach, but it’s a simple 2-lane road with a low speed limit and there are crosswalk lights. My MIL is not able to do much activity so 1st floor was essential, lots of great people watching on the back porch, and pool was just about 2 units away— easily accessible and that was great for her (and us lol). For anyone concerned about accessibility, there are 2 steps down on the back porch to get to the beach or pool, but there is a stair-less pathway from around the front. Beds were comfortable. Our kids were enthralled about the bunk beds, but ended up sleeping with their Nana in one of the king sized beds. Everything we used was functional. Overall, really great place to stay and would highly recommend!

Location, location, location! This condo was just steps from the public beach access! The beds were extremely comfortable and there were plenty of pillows and extra blankets. The host provides "starter items" but be sure to bring extra toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent and trash bags. (This information is in the listing which was great to know). We didn't cook much but the kitchen seemed to have everything you would need for making meals in the condo. We would definitely stay there again!

We were visiting for a bachelorette weekend, first thing we noticed is the cleanliness of the place and it looked exactly as described on the website. The proximity to the beach was amazing. I would definitely look to rent from this host again.
