Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Memorial Day long weekend stay. It was a very enjoyable place for a family with kids. If you want a couple's getaway I would not recommend here. We stayed in the 3 bedroom condo. Very comfortable and clean. Master bedroom downstairs with an outside area with chairs and hammock. 2 bedrooms upstairs with bunk beds. Could use a dresser in the rooms but other than that it was great. They had noise machines in each room which was a life saver for sleeping late and naps for baby and young kids. It was a very nice touch. This condo was not next to the pool which was great because you didn't get the noise from the people in the pool. We were one minute from the beach, but the beach was super crowded, so we only went once. the condo was spacious and very comfortable. ##### Debbie M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joel G. 16 Jul 2025 ##### Joel G.
