Excellent beach stay during Bike Week!

The property was very clean, with a great view of the ocean. Private parking in the garage accommodated 4 motorcycles with access on to residence of the building. Location was within one mile of Main Street. My friends and I hope to get this property again for next year's Bike Week.

Beach oasis

We loved our stay. The condo owner kept excellent communication, was polite and prompt with any concerns we had. The condo was clean and very welcoming. It felt like home away from home from the time we turned the key. The kitchen is well stocked, the linens were crisp. There were beach toys, we also left some behind, and chairs as well as towels and a cooler. There was not alot of traffic and the beach was very calm and inviting without the bulk of tourists. We will definitely be staying in over the horizons again. Loved watching the sunrise and sunset from the balcony as it's the perfect view. Just marvelous!
