Our favorite spot
We’ve stayed here many times and always come back. It’s just a couple doors down from the Back Porch and the water is always super clear and the beach is never crowded.

Thanksgiving getaway
Wonderful experience from the moment we arrived to the day of departure. The onsite staff was super, especially Kirsten at the front desk. The unit was very clean, kitchen fully equipped and the view was stunning from the balcony. If i could suggest one thing, update the sofa.
Looking forward to returning very soon.

Beautiful, very clean, but..
This property is absolutely beautiful and VERY clean. Everything was as described but there is a lot of traffic and tourists attractions across the street so the noise inside the condo was a bit too much for me. Every night there were cars and/or motorcycles revving their engines for long periods of time which made it hard to sleep in the room facing the front of the building. That’s literally the only complaint I have. The view of the ocean is amazing and both bathrooms were recently remodeled.

Convenient location
Convenient to restaurants and shopping. Beach was beautiful and chair service was great. Our boys loved the heated pool. It was perfect for little ones.
The location is a bit noisy though.

We were having our first family vacation with our adult daughters and their boyfriends.
It was a beautiful condo and had everything we needed. We fully enjoyed our stay.

Great stay for young children
The beach was rough so we stayed in the pool. The pool was just right for my four year grandson. The guy at beach hut was very helpful. Great staff!
