Condo was very clean, in good condition and view and acess to beach was great. Communications were easy and quickly responded to. Only issue was TV remote / guide and it was most likely because I am not very technical! Would stay again

We were very happy with our stay at this condo!! Everything was very clean and the spaces were nicely appointed! Great view of the ocean and beach from the balcony. The kitchen had what we needed for preparing breakfast and lunch. We would have liked a larger coffee pot but we made it work with 2 brews each morning! The condo was overall quiet and low key. It was fun watching the rabbits and tortoises play in the dunes!!

Peaceful and relaxing!

My sister and I planned a girls trip together for the first time ever, I’m 68 and she is 66. We walked into this beautiful condo & were met with a gorgeous view as well as calming music playing throughout. It brought immediate peace and tranquility. This condo didn’t disappoint. It is tastefully decorated and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We got up early every morning to watch the sunrise. We also enjoyed watching bunny rabbits frolicking below us! We didn’t want to leave! We definitely would like to stay here again!

The condo unit was very nice and had a great balcony with ocean view. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because there were smokers below us that made it difficult to enjoy the balcony.

Fantastic Condo and Vacation Experience

First, communication and welcoming were fantastic. Then we experienced the welcoming sights and sounds of the beach from the condo. Everything was tidy, the decor was fantastic, and we were placed in a relaxed mood from the start. Beach access was simple and easy, and theres plenty to experience in a great town woth great people without having to go far at all. Check out was a breeze, and we DEFINITELY recommend this property for anyone interested. We plan to visit again, hopefully the exact same location!!! Fantastic is the first word that comes to mind.

Oceanfront Magic

My husband, daughter and I stayed from October 3rd to October 6th. The place was very welcoming. The property manager replied to my inquiries. We had some trouble with the outlets while charging our phones. I would suggest putting a full length mirror somewhere in the apartment as well as possibly leaving some bottled water as a welcome to the guests.

Cozy with great view

Very clean and well-appointed unit. A bit small for four adults for a week. For example dining table has only three chairs and the small living room only has a love seat and small chair. Nice porch with great ocean view and four :-) chairs.
