Amazing property just steps from the beach. Close to many great restaurants and shops. This is our third time at this location and we look forward to returning.
The house is beautifully furnished & in a great location. The pool is right across the street, & the beach is a very short walk. It had everything we needed for a great vacation.

This house exceeded our expectations! It’s updated and extremely clean. The location is perfect for our family- close enough to the shops, outlets, and grocery, and the beach is a easy short walk through the neighborhood , even with small kids.

Beautiful gated community on the beach. Condo was clean, well maintained, and only 50 yards from a beautiful private beach. Management company available 24/7 for any questions. This is our 2nd time staying here and we already booked it for next year.
We loved this house! Beautiful neighborhood and house. Not great for super young kids, but great for bigger kids!

The house matched the photos: quite nice! Cleaner than a typical VRBO from our experience. Big bathrooms and plenty of space in the open kitchen-dining-living room area. An easy walk rom the house to the beach, maybe 5 minutes; and quick drive to grocery stores and shopping. We were a party of 7, two of which were kids 10 and 12, Everyone enjoyed this property.
