Amazing place to stay! It looked exactly like the photos and was just as beautiful in person. The host was very easy to reach and responsive whenever we had a question. It was a wonderful place for a relaxing weekend right on the beachfront. The location was perfect for enjoying the beach and having a peaceful getaway. I would definitely recommend this place and would happily stay here again!

The stay was great — easy access and squeaky clean. Hot tip: claim your umbrellas and seats early in the AM by letting the attendant know first thing when you wake up.

We have stayed at this condo twice now and really love the convenience and location. A great morning walk to the pier, or to grab a bite to eat. Local seafood spots and icecream are just blocks away. This particular condo is on the 5th floor and we enjoy the balcony views the most. We've never needed to turn the AC on because the breeze is perfect. This unit could use a deep clean but has all of the amenities we needed and from staying previously we knew we needed to bring extra paper products and trash bags, etc. The free chairs and umbrellas on the beach come in handy and the guys that put them out every day are really accomodating. For a family or 2 staying together this unit fits us comfortably.
