Very clean and well maintained
One of the nice and layed back places I have stayed in a long time it is very peaces. Loved the fact that the customer service through the start of the booking to the end of the vacation was on their to help you and check on you to make sure everything was ok. Most definitely will be booking another vacation for my family here.

Very nice place; master bedroom bed is hard as a rock tho, so be prepared for that. Noise was also an issue because you can hear everything anyone is doing in the condo. I really do enjoy the place tho and always have a nice time staying at this complex. Very clean and well laid out.

Amazing condo close to the beach!
We loved our stay here! We had everything we needed and the amenities of the pool, hot tub, porch with grill, washer/dryer were great! We loved there was a beach wagon and umbrella available for us to use. The bathrooms were spacious and the beds were comfy. We will definitely be staying here again!

We will be back!
Our family enjoyed this property so much! The location could not be more convenient! The pool is great and our room was well furnished. We loved that there was a beach wagon in the room and it made the beach trips so much easier! We enjoyed our stay and are already planning to come back, hopefully we are able to get this same unit again!

Nice place to stay
This was a great apartment/condo to stay in. My daughters and I met up with an old friend and her children. Having the beach just 5 min away and the pool available was great!

Other than one bad day of weather , we had a fantastic time .
We cant wait to stay here again. It was a perfect place for us and we have no complaints whatsoever with any part of our experience. In fact we are hoping to be able to come back again at the end of the summer season. If someone is looking for a quiet somewhat secluded beach to take a family vacation away from the typical over developed beach front madness, do not hesitate to book here.

New Favorite Spot
The condo was absolutely gorgeous, spacious for the whole family and very clean with all described amenities and more. Loved being on the first floor and very close to the pool and beach access directly across the street. We will most certainly be back!

Beautiful, Comfy, and Close to the Beach!
We loved our stay! The condo was so clean and comfortable and had all the amenities we needed and then some! We enjoyed being able to pull right up to the door - no stairs or elevator needed. Very short walk to the beach. We loved the hot tub and pool area, too! Will definitely return!

Our host was excellent and communication was very easy and efficient. The inside of the house with clean, although the throws could have used freshening up. The patio was not cleaned and set up nicely, so it was not very inviting to sit out there. There were some maintenance issues on the inside that needed to be addressed such as the toilet handle falling off and needing to be replaced, the master bathroom door handle was about to fall off, and the refrigerator doors opened awkwardly, meaning the doors should have been reversed so that they opened into the kitchen instead of into the utility room, making it awkward to put away or take out items. So mostly I’m just saying that it’s a maintenance problem and not a host problem nor cleaning crew problem. All in all it was a very pleasant stay and was so very quiet. The quietest one we’ve ever stayed in as far as not hearing our next-door or above neighbor noises. The pool was clean and seemed well kept. And my granddaughters and husband really enjoyed lounging there. Our bed was comfortable, and the air conditioner worked great…almost too great, which is the reason for knowing that the throws needed to be freshened up. We would stay there again and really appreciated our host’s kindness and easy access.

Great little Condo
Condo was decorated perfectly. The cleaning people just need to clean under the kitchen cabinets and baseboards through out the condo. I run a cleaning business at home so I maybe a little critical.
