We loved being able to walk out to the beach without having to drive and the availability of beach chairs and umbrellas to carry with us. We also loved being able to walk to restaurants and the local grocery store nearby. Our room was pretty, comfortable and clean. It was a wonderful vacation! Thank you!

Awful Experience

Awful! There were bugs everywhere, even on the bathroom towels. We tried calling the property manager via phone calls, text messages, emails and no one responded until 2 days later. They even sent us the wrong code to the lock box to get the keys to the unit. Will not be staying at any of their rentals.
