Great vacation getaway. The condo was located a gated community. Just a 3-minute walk to the beach. The host provided beach chairs, wagon and beach toys. The pool was very close to the condo located 50 yards away. The property was exactly as described, very clean, and the location was perfect for our needs.

The owner was amazingly proactive and communicative. Beds were very comfy. Loved receiving dining recommendations from the owner - Bayou at the Beach was so good! The complex was clean and people were friendly. A short walk to the beach and the closest pool was about a minute away. We had a great time - thank you!
