West Ocean Villas
Was ok even with flooded streets.Was not happy when I found out that elevator was broken but was under repair.Found out when we got there it was a replacement instead of repair.
Also got the feeling that the owner was paranoid about someone might take a glass or dish.Also found out she has a neighbor watching also.Probably will not be using this site again
Vrbo called me and asked if we had a dog.I replied yes and was ok payi g the fee.Mynoversight on filling out the contrac but having someone watch was a little creepy
If you are going to rent thru an agent let them vette the renter, not spy on them.Also be straight forward and let the renter know all the facts about items not working.Especially elevator not working.My guest and I are both in late 60s and have heart problems.3 flights of stairs make a little hard to get up snd down.Ever heard of the American with disabilities act.So I had my say so rent at your own risk

This is called Ocean Views which might lead you to think that it is oceanfront. It is across the street from the ocean. You do have a small view of the ocean between the two houses on the other side of the street. It is about 100 yards to walk to the entrance to the beach. It’s a very comfortable place to stay.

It was a gorgeous unit. Really appreciated the elevator. Only drawback was that the west side is further from grocery stores, restaurants. But I would stay there again in a heartbeat!

Annual Beach Trip
When looking for a condo for our annual beach trip there were two must haves, elevator and short walk to the beach. This condo met both requirements and so much more! The condo was very clean, well stocked kitchen, and in a great location. We will definitely rent again!
