The condo was super clean, the beds were ultra comfy, and kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. But really the best feature was how close it was to the beach. It truly was only a 2 minute walk. Plus, the wagon, chairs, and beach towels that came with the condo made beach life so much easier and more comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.

Why they chose this property

The location is great! We can easily head back to the condo for lunch or just to grab more digging stuff. Then it's just a 1-2 minute walk back across the street and we are there, in the water! We also love walking down to the Wanna Wanna Inn for fried shrimp, cold beer, and good music. When our family comes to visit, we stay in all of the condos and spread out. We get to enjoy being close together without listening to each other snore!
