Perfect Place

This was the perfect home for my first vacation alone with my 2 boys. Lots to do, close to town but most of all secluded. It was wonderful, I highly recommend this home.

Good property in a nice location

We enjoyed our stay. The condo was very easy walking distance to the beach and a short drive to most restaurants on the island. The condo did have a certain smell, but we got used to that after a few hours.

Great location

The location was amazing - both in the city and near to everything, and also right at the beach. The pictures make the boardwalk look long, but it was really a 2 minute walk and you are at the beach. Kitchen had everything we needed except couldn’t find a cutting board. Loved that there were plenty of towels provided. The walls seemed thin between units but luckily no one seemed to stay in much so it didn’t matter. There was no elevator for our unit so if stairs are an issue a 1st floor unit would be best. Overall a nice stay.
