From the moment we got there it went smooth. We received a call from the property manager shortly after we arrived. Asked if we had any questions and also gave us some recommendations for places to eat. The building itself is a little older, but the character of the house and pool yard was beautiful. We will definetly stay again.

All in all, the stay was enjoyable. The pool was very nice, and the property was nice as well. It was a bit dated, but that is personal opinion. My wife smelled a musty smell. The biggest suggestion would be to place some sort of black out shades or at a minimum change out the position of the motion light that is right outside the bedroom window. It would come on and stay on at night illuminating the room so brightly that it made it nearly impossible to sleep. I would stay there again as the location is fantastic and understanding that it is an older unit, it is satisfactory. I would bring a sleep mask though.

We were there for a long weekend stay so not long. The location was great - close to the beach. Very nice that the unit has a dedicated parking space. The pool was was very nice. We typically don’t use a pool, but we were in this one a few times. It was kept clean and is heated. The unit itself was as described in the photos and description.

Well heated and clean pool. You only share the pool with two other units and never busy. 2 minute walk across the street to the beach. Grocery store, Walgreens, restaurants and bars all well within walking distance. Property manager/owner great toWork with and communicates well. This is our 5th year coming for for at least a few days but usually a week to 10 days.

A slice of calm and quiet among the hi-rises.

Our second visit to this property. We love that we are at ground level and can enjoy the pool before we make a short stroll to the beach. You are in the heart of town but feel like you have landed in a real neighborhood.
