Loved the easy access. Condo was nice appointed. Really enjoyed sitting on the beach, weather in hoodies and reading a book or enjoying the sunshine ##### Karyl S. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Scott K. 3 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Rest & Relaxation Great location to enjoy the ocean breeze and listen to the crashing waves all day, even if you don’t want to be on the beach. You can’t possibly get any closer to the water without being IN the water. Amazing! Clean and comfy accommodations with restaurants and shopping a few minutes away. The only negative was the loudness of the AC unit which struggles. When the compressor cycles on it’s hard to hear normal conversation in the room. Thankfully the weather was great and we spent most of the day on the balcony just listening to the waves and enjoying the breeze. The proximity to the water to hear the sounds of the ocean without having to be on the beach was just what we wanted and was THE highlight of the trip. A nice oasis to retreat from the daily grind! ##### Scott K. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Megan D. 4 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Stay Safe location, right on the water, had everything we needed! ##### Megan D.
