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.

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!
