We enjoyed our stay. The host kept us well informed in a timely manner. I would recommend replacing the teflon cookware and the bed mattress. Other than that, everything was to our liking.

Excellent property

My husband and I had a fabulous time in this rental. The location is perfect- steps from the beach but in a less crowded area. The rental was clean and comfortable. It was great to have washing machine and dryer in the unit. The kitchen was well stocked. We sat out in the balcony most mornings with our coffee and loved having chair service on the beach. Owners were super responsive and accommodating. . We will be back.

Overall great condo

My husband and I love the location of this condo and the fact that its only 3 stories. The beach is very easy to access. The amenities here are excellent! Plenty of bath towels and wash cloths and although I brought my own beach towels it was very thoughtful for the owner to have beach towels for use. We eat out for our meals but the kitchen is well stocked for doing your own cooking. The ONLY reason my overall rating was 4 stars is because the bed was terribly uncomfortable. I dont know if it is because there was no box spring underneath the mattress or that the mattress is cheap. Also the fitted sheet did not properly fit and would not stay on the mattress.
