This one is one of the best we have ever stayed in! Updated kitchen and baths. Very clean and not one bug spotted the entire time. Betsy responded quickly to a wifi issue that arose, and it was quickly remedied. I was originally unsure about renting due to not being a super-host or a lot of reviews, but so glad I took the chance! ##### Tracy W.

You can see the ocean from the balcony. Unit is older but has a few updates. Must bring own bedding, towels, etc. Kitchen does have pots/pans/utensils. Unit was resonable clean in the main areas, but we had to reclean living area when we moved furnature to use the pull out couch. Not a 5 star, but still a nice location and place to stay. Great communication with property manager.

Easy access to beach ⛱️ Great location. Comfortable beds. Only complaint was the cleaning, floors were very clean, surfaces did not appear to have been wiped down at all. Not a big deal just worth mentioning. ##### Melissa J.

We enjoyed the condo. Loved the area! We could see the ocean from the balcony, which was great. The pool was nice and easily accessible. The host was extremely nice and accommodating. We will stay here again. ##### Jennifer H. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew D. 4 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Diamond in the rough Booking this property with very few reviews, only 3 months ahead of time left me feeling a little nervous. Could not have turned out better - thrilled I found this place at the last second. Place is very clean, not real loud, right down the road from Ocean Annie's and Flip Flops bar and grill, and has a walk out exit right onto the beach. The place came with beach chairs available, as well as various needed items like TP, garbage bags, dish soap, etc. Such a perfect place for my family of 4. Only minor critique I would give is we stayed on the 3rd floor and the place has no elevator. So as long as you don't mind a bit of a workout during loading/unloading your car, and when you get groceries (kroger and walmart only 2 or 3 miles away), then you will emphatically love this place. ##### Andrew D.
