Beach relaxation!

We enjoyed our vacation and had everything we needed plus more. We had a week of relaxation and really had a wonderful time. The few questions I had were answered promptly and we were notified quickly of some parking changes that were needed due to some outdoor maintenance and improvements. Absolutely no issues and we would for sure book again!

Very nice condo only a few short minutes walk away from a fantastic beach access with lots of shells. Bags for shell collecting, beach chairs and umbrella were much appreciated! Kitchen had all amenities necessary for cooking meals and washer and dryer for our laundry. There was a wonderful selection of beach reads for adults and some board games as well. The host was very responsive to our questions, always responding quickly. My family of 6 really enjoyed our stay! Thank you!
