Very nice place to stay, well stocked kitchen for cooking light meals, and close to everything we needed during our stay. We also loved the single cup coffee machine with individual pods of coffee.

Nice for Quick Trip

This condo was in a great area for us - walking distance to a few restaurants and a local brewery. There was also a little park across the street which was great for our two kids. It didn’t take us too long to drive to the beach either. The linens and towels were nice and clean, but there were some baking dishes and utensils in the kitchen that still had food on them, and I think some other things around the place could use a good scrub down. Otherwise it was cute with the vintage style decorations. Christopher was friendly and super quick with communication.
