Most affordable place directly on the water for a long weekend beach trip! Amazing sun rise views and beautiful scenery from balcony. Its on the more quiet, least tourist-y end of the island which was perfect. There were still plenty of options for dining and restaurants. I really enjoyed the tiki bar right next to this place (30 second walk). Beach access #46 is extremely close and within walking distance (just park at the very end of the lot and then walk 1 min). The condo interior itself was perfectly acceptable. Hosts were informative and communicative. I would recommend and book again!

We really enjoyed our stay. It was very clean and tidy. The kitchen was well stocked for what we needed. I wish the listing had said they had a Keurig, as well as a standard coffee maker, because I would have packed differently for morning coffee. The AC units did a great job keeping the place cool. I would only suggest a little painting to give the place a facelift and connect a drain line to the living room AC unit so it doesn't get the deck wet. But you just can't beat this place's view.
