Condo was very clean with nice furnishings and a well stocked kitchen. It is a short walk to the pool and beach. Very quiet and relaxing atmosphere. There is a beautiful shaded sitting area with a large fountain just outside the condo entrance. Handicap parking is available near the condo. Condo owner and housekeeper were friendly and easy to communicate with. We hope to return next year to this condo. It was a five star vacation-beautiful weather and a beautiful condo.

Great week

We had a great week at your place even though we couldn’t see the beach and ocean from our patio we could still hear the waves. The short walk to the beach and pool was great and the beach service was amazing. The condo was very nice and clean and well stocked with everything we needed. Thank you Greg for sharing your beautiful home

Fantastic

Ground floor, quiet, clean, nice decor, close/very short walk to pool, hot tub and beach access. Perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle! Well appointed kitchen, bought some groceries and we were all set for the week. Great bed linens and bath towels. Felt like home, thank-you.

Great

We lucked out with really great weather for our week trip! The condo was exactly what we needed with everything you could want from spices in the kitchen to beach toys. Pool was heated but a little crowded. Not a ton of food options within walking distance, but a short car ride gets you to more. Overall a really nice stay

Perfect Condo Beach Stay

This property was perfect. Exactly as listed, and steps away from the beach. It was clean and felt like home. Craig was in contact as soon as I sent a message with a question and was absolutely the nicest. We will be sure to stay here again. It was a perfect beach vacation for our family!

Great condo

We had a great trip and cant recommend booking with Craig enough. Room was clean, beds comfy, well supplied kitchen which lets be honest is super rare. Location of condo was definitely a fav for us, just steps from the pool and beach access. Covered parking not far from room so you dont have to haul all your belongings far! Already thinking about booking our end of the school year trip with him!

We had an excellent stay. The pool really is steps away and the beach a couple more steps. This is first floor and the view is the dunes, but we were fine with the view. Pool is cleaned every morning. The condo is well equipped and very comfortable. Covered parking was nice. Clean

Great stay!

We rented this condo for World Series for my daughter and it was amazing! We loved the fact that it was on the ground floor because it made it so easy to carry our things in and out. The condo was clean and matched the listing perfectly. We had everything we needed in the kitchen. The beds and pillows were super comfy. Very beautifully decorated. The pool was so close to the condo and was kept very clean. Easy access to the beach and easy to rent chairs and umbrella. Close to a lot of stores and restaurants. Will definitely plan to stay here again!
