We had an amazing stay! The townhouse was clean and spacious. It was a great place for 2 adults and 2 teens. The kids loved that they could walk to the beach, shops, restaurants in 1 minute and felt safe doing it! The adults loved that we didn't have to drive around and find parking! Beautiful little beach town if you're looking for a relaxing vacation with fun options for the whole family. We hope to be back again next year -Thanks for a great stay!

The house was perfect for my family’s week-long stay. Once we parked our car, we didn’t need to use it again until it was time to leave. Everything was within walking distance, which made our vacation so convenient and enjoyable.Tiffany was an amazing host and checked in regularly to make sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. Her communication and hospitality were greatly appreciated.The biggest sign of how much we loved our stay came when it was time to leave—my son cried and asked if we could come back and stay there again next year. We made wonderful memories and would absolutely recommend this property to others.

Great stay

Our family was very happy in the Townhouse. Everything was clean, the beds were comfortable and it had everything we needed in the kitchen to prepare food. We enjoyed being able to walk to restaurants and shops and just around the corner from the beach. We would stay here again!

Great family vacation

We were very happy with our stay here. The location is amazing! It is a quick walk tothe beach and even though we were so close to the beach and all the shops, arcade, restaurants, etc it was so quiet. Tiffany and Jimmy were amazing to work with. They are very easy to communicate with and were quick to respond whenever we reached out to them. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to staying there again!
