Great week!
We had a wonderful time staying at this location. We have stayed in the same building on previous trips, but a different place. We loved this condo though! They have everything you could ever need on a trip and everything is top quality. Some places have terrible kitchen cookware and nothing extra. This place had everything you need and felt like we were home. The location is great too close. Amazing views from the first and second floor and right on the beach with easy access. Beds were comfortable and each room has plenty of space. The communication with the host was some of the best we have ever experienced. They were courteous, informative, and responsive. We will definitely stay here again.

Luxurious with Beautiful Oceanview
Very clean and exceptionally well-appointed with spectacular ocean views. Clear and prompt communication from the property host made check in and check out a breeze. Every room included Sonos speakers, power strips and extra blankets…just like home! All of the original artwork was bright, cheerful and locally themed. We look forward to returning for a future visit!
