The balcony is great, nice and peaceful. The pools are amazing and the beach access is so easy and quick. The Back Porch was utilized for at least 2 meals. The taco truck across the street is walking distance. There's an ice cream and candy shop nearby. I would stay here again. Communication with staff was really great.

It was quite literally perfect. The space was bigger than we thought, the view was incredible, access to the beach was easy, the pool was great and the overall location was wonderful. We used some of the provided beach chairs regularly to relax in the sand.Checkin was easy, we were able to text with the host and always get quick replies and the place was perfect for our group of 5. We will for sure be back.

Ladies Weekend

The rooms were decorated nicely and had all the amenities you needed, especially the kitchen. The view of the ocean from our balcony was beautiful. We loved our morning coffee time on the balcony as we watched the dolphins play in the ocean. The building is very quiet and perfect for a girls weekend. It's a short walk to the beach and anything we needed was within reach. The condo, building and common areas were very clean. If anything was needed, we called and things were fixed shortly afterwards. It really was a perfect stay. Only suggestion is that the building figure out a recycling system.
