A Fun Trip To The Beach

This was the perfect house for our family of four and pups for the Fourth of July weekend. The house was clean and there were more than enough towels and paper products for our stay. The beach is within walking distance (about a quarter of a mile), but having a golf cart rental makes getting to and from the beach with kids and all of your stuff way easier. It was also amazing to have the pool right there so we could enjoy it after spending a morning at the beach. The host was also very easy to communicate with. We unfortunately had a Tropical Storm/Hurricane coming through on our check out day and our host let us know of the ferry closing at noon so we could prepare for an earlier departure to avoid traffic. We would definitely stay here again!

We loved the house and location. The only downside was that the pool gate was not working the entire time so someone had to let you in or they just propped it open. I sometimes could hear the neighbors but other than that it was great!

Great Time Close to Beach

We had a great time sharing the space with my sisters family. The property was clean and conveniently located. Some tips for others or maybe for property mgmt to consider. There is a coffee pot, but no filters. There were no hot pads to grab pans out of the oven. Some plastic or non-breakable plates and bowls would be much appreciated when your visiting with 5 young children. We were not left the pool code and had to request it.

The pool was the star of the show!

We really enjoyed the pool area when we weren’t at the beach. There are a ton of community grills by the pool. It was easy to grill, watch your kids plays and relax (and even swim in between flipping burgers)! This unit was close enough to the pool to easily walk to but far enough where it wasn’t too loud. On Labor Day weekend, the pool area was a big party scene at night. The kids bunk bed room is on the first floor, so it gives you a little peace and quiet when you’re upstairs relaxing/cooking in the family room/kitchen area and the kids can play downstairs. I like that kitchen was open so you aren’t isolated when you cook. A good house for a family!

Easy beach access and a fantastic pool!

I would absolutely book this specific condo again for the beach and pool access alone! It’s right across the parking lot from the most amazing pool and is just around the corner from the beach. I’m convinced location doesn’t get anymore convenient. It’s also a very quick drive to shops and restaurants. Truly a gem of a location. This condo had everything we needed (the owners have responded to some of the feedback received in previous reviews and have provided a few more amenities) and was exceptionally clean upon arrival. The owner golf cart is not on property, which provided ample space for parking and stowing beach items at the end of the day. The only thing the condo needs is more dish towels - currently only has one, and perhaps new wash cloths, as the current set just looks a little tired. Everything else is in great shape and is well maintained, providing a welcoming environment for guests. We also really appreciated that we could bring our dog - she loved the beach! And there was a pet basket to help with some of the needs of a pet. Kids and adults alike loved the pool. Families grilled out and kids splashed and enjoyed the slide. We definitely hope to return to this condo for future family vacations!
