Great house and pool

This was a great property. The house had everything you need. The backyard area is beautiful! It’s close to restaurants and grocery stores. The zoo and beach are short drives away. We would definitely stay here again.

Great condo and location

We really enjoyed our stay. The home is beautifully set up with two master bedrooms and it overlooks a pond where you will see many animals like ducks, turtles and many birds. It was quiet and peaceful. The location was also good near so many places to eat and 5 minute drive to the beach and it allows dogs which was so fun to watch them play in the ocean! We will definitely be back.

Great Place!!!

We have nothing but wonderful things to say about Tony and Kathleen’s beach condo! The place was clean, well stocked, accurately advertised, and in a great location. We were able to walk downtown everyday whether for coffee, dinner, a drink, or dessert, which was very convenient. Although close to downtown, the location of the condo felt private and you could enjoy the back patio without feeling like you were right next to the busier downtown area. Easily able to drive to the beach and other fun activities close by too! Kathleen and Tony were easy and great to communicate with as well. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

River house stay

We had an amazing stay at the River House! It’s a beautiful home with a lovely backyard—my daughter absolutely loved playing back there. The house was spotless, well-stocked with everything we needed, and incredibly comfortable. One of our favorite features was the relaxing imitation fireplace—it added such a cozy touch. I stayed here while graduating from FIT, and the location couldn’t have been more convenient—just minutes away from campus. If you’re looking for a clean, comfortable place close to the school, this is it. Highly recommend!
