Perfect location!

Perfect location for all the downtown fun! The unit was the perfect size for the six of us. Everything we needed was in the kitchen. Can’t wait to come back.

Living room with sleeper sofa, opens to private wrap around balcony

Incredibly Clean and Comfortable!

This condo is nicely outfitted with little extras everywhere. It was really clean and had plenty of kitchen space for its size. The back balcony patio was a great place to tan and hang out. We enjoyed the lounge chairs. It is close to a public beach access (only two short blocks walk). The property manager was super quick with email and phone responses. Highly recommend!

Very nice Condo across the street from the beach

Condo was as described. We are a family of 5 with 3 teenagers and there was plenty of space. Beach is a short walk across the street with an access path right to the beach. Condo has a nice pool and multiple charcoal grills for grilling. Having a full kitchen was key to saving money on eating out for every meal. Highly recommend this complex if your looking for an affordable way to vacation in a beautiful place. Unfortunately, we were down when the jellyfish were very active so that dampened our ocean experience, but we made the best of it, even if we had to deal with some stings.Host was very gracious and allowed us access an hour early due to our early arrival and was very responsive when we notified her about a running toilet. Overall 5 stars and would highly recommend this property.

Wonderful week!

There were 14 of us, 8 adults and 6 children (including a 2-month old). This house was perfect for us. The location to the public beach and walkway was great! House had all the amenities; the porch with all the lovely seating was our favorite. Kids loved the view quick access to the pool. Would definitely recommend !
