Thank you for the communication, cleanliness, and availability of this beautiful condo. Treating my family members to an oceanfront vacation experience was something I’ve wanted to do for a time and having had the experience! Worth the money, after all you can’t put a price tag on memories!

Awesome condo - will be back!

The condo complex was clean and well kept. Easy access to beach and within walking distance to multiple local restaurants and shops, very convenient! The condo unit itself was clean and the perfect setup for our family of 4 plus grandparents. The location at the corner of the building gave for amazing beach and ocean views! Also near stairwell on second floor so quick and easy access to the ground floor when we didn’t want to take the elevator. Overall a great experience and we plan to book this condo again in the future.

Great location, easy to access the beach and town. Hand sanitizer throughout the facility for safety, and the beach was right out the door and welcome change of scenery during the pandemic. Recommend it for anyone needing to get away!
