This was a great place to stay! It was so clean and well organized. It was also decorated very nicely, perfect for a beach getaway. Connie was also great at communicating with us before and during our stay. Would highly recommend.

Would stay again
The host’s response time exceeded expectations. The space looked exactly as the pictures are shown and she even provided more than the listing mentioned. I hope she hosts elsewhere because she has perfected the simplicity of lodging so you can focus purely on the vacation.

Clean, relaxing, perfect!
I can not brag enough about how CLEAN this place was. I didn't even bring my slippers, but I didn't need them, it was so clean.
The decor was so inviting and modern. It made us feel at home. Very classy. We wanted to be there and looked forward to coming back for breaks during our short vacation.
It was the BEST VRBO we have EVER stayed in. We will stay here when we come back!

The Perfect Getaway Condo, Great Amenities, Amazing Host, Beautiful Location
In January my friends and I were looking for the perfect small condo for our college spring break trip in late February early March. After searching throughout VRBO, this location sparked our interest for the reasonable price, amazing condo layout, and the quick ride to the beach. But boy were our expectations exceeded when we arrived! The condo is fully renovated, decorated, and was supplied with many amenities, including kitchen ware, pillows/blankets, trash bags, toiletries, and some great snacks! :)
Not only were our expectations exceeded with the condo itself, but Connie was an amazing host. She kept contact with me leading up to the trip and while we were lodged as well. She gave us ideas on where to eat, codes to the room/complex, and she just made us feel very welcomed, which we appreciated more than anything.
If you are ever looking for a place to stay with a few friends or a getaway with your significant other, this is the place! The condo felt homey as soon as we came in our first day and it was very hard having to leave and go back to KY. We will definitely be coming back in the future! :)
