The location was great close to everything, the beach was right at 30 ft from the room and the pools was nice and clean. The room is small if you are traveling with more than 3 people. It was perfect for me and my daughter.

Loved staying here, just wish the room was a little more clean! Great area, awesome pool (with a great little snack shack) and the beach was pretty quiet. The owner, Julie, was very great at communicating and was very kind! Smoothest check in (and out) process ever!!!

This room was a cute little condo with a side view of the ocean. Host communicated well. The room could use a good cleaning though, the dishwasher had some questionable things thrown in it and the shower curtain had some mold, kitchen drawers need some wiping but other than that it’s decent and those things are quick fixes. Overall good for a little weekend condo as a family of three.

Easy beach access

location was excellent! Only downfall was bathroom was super tiny, the kitchen light didn’t work and the air unit was EXTREMELY loud and roared at random times during the night. Also the power was shut off at 7am for maintenance which made packing a little difficult but would stay again!
