Great place for small groups in a convenient location

I stayed here with my mother and a friend of ours and we really liked this apartment! With two bedrooms plus a sleeper sofa and two bathrooms it was perfect for our group. The kitchen was fully stocked with dishes, cups, silverware, as well as pots and pans for all the cooking we could want to do (there was even a slow cooker, although we didn't use it). The semi-accessible design of the master bath's shower was particularly appreciated as I'm disabled and need to sit while showering. And of course we loved being right on the beach! We would stay here again.

Family of Four Beach Vacation

Overall the condo was nice. It was plenty of room for a family of four. Everything was in working order and we enjoyed having extra blankets to use. However it could have benefited from a deeper clean. The floors were sticky and just felt really nasty to walk on barefoot. The counter tops and bathrooms really just needed a good bleach wipe down. Other than the icky sticky feeling it was a nice place for a small family weekend at the beach.

Nice location for short stay

Location was very nice to be able to walk to most restaurants and shops. Steps away from the beach made this great to not have to walk a long way. Condo was fine for my son and I. Met our needs. We had an issue with the fridge, which was address right away. Very good communication.

Just us

Just what we needed. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. We only had one slight difficulty and that was we couldn’t figure out the tv. We put in a call to Jessica and she arrived within the hour, fixed our problem, chatted for a bit and left. We enjoyed the condo so much we have rented it for the month of January instead of two weeks. Hope Jessica is still our overseer.

Amazing location

We loved this condo with the location on the 2nd floor we didn’t have to take the elevator. The condo was nicely decorated and updated. Only complaint the whole time was that the co do above us was doing renovation work and was noisy. But overall, it was an amazing family vacation💙

Labor Day Boardwalk Stay

We have stayed at this complex for over 30 years, every Labor Day. I had no contact with the property manager other than sending me the code the day of our visit. The only complaint I have is that the unit had a strong musty smell. .
