I stayed with my 2 kids for a week, and this unit was wonderful! We loved that it is a bottom level unit, which made it so easy to load and unload everything. The pool is just out the back doors, perfect for evening swims every day. You can either walk or drive over for beach access- we tried both, and found it easier to drive with the amount of stuff to take having kids. The complex location is close to everything you could want. Diane was an excellent host and answered any questions I had. I highly recommend staying here!

We definitely will be back

So we ended up having to call the owner of the property and she was very nice and told us exactly where to go. The place looks so nice. There is also games that you can play and brochures of different places that you can go which helped us out a lot since we are not from the area. I definitely will be recommending this place..

Fun in the sun

Place was clean, I think the hot water heater could be turned down a lil, because u couldn't turn the water very high, because the water would be to hot and not enough water pressure. Other then that it was a very enjoyable stay. Thank you Dianna Brummett

Nice condo close to beach

The complex is nice...a bit on the older side but well maintained. We had a few small.jssues with cleanliness of our unit but nothing major. Bathtub had hairs and a used razor in it. Floors appeared swept but new white socks were black within minutes. Quiet and fine for our needs. We liked having free beach setup. Didn't visit any pools as we went to beach each day. major.
