We loved staying here! The host was quick to respond on the app, and the property was clean and exactly as advertised. The pool was so much fun and the fishing docks were super close as well! We caught a variety of pinfish, mullet, catfish and trout while fishing. The complex was clean, and we did not have issues with excessive noise or anything of that nature. The beach was approximately a 10 minute walk (or 2 minute drive) away. The host provided some beach supplies as well, which we used during our stay. Everything was great, and we would definitely stay here again! ##### Jaimi T.

The two bedroom condo was great for our family of four. We enjoyed the back porch outdoor area as it had a lot of seating for relaxing after the day at the beach/pool. The water hoses out front and out back made for easy clean up after a day at the beach. The device charging stations around the house was a nice touch as well.
