My stay
This condo was beautiful - fully stocked. A short walk to the beach. Perfect.
Overall we had a wonderful experience. I traveled with my four children, and everyone had their own bed which they loved. All beach items were provided so I did not have to pack as much! What I enjoyed the most was being a short walk from the beach and not having a list of things to do before check-out! Caihlin was super responsive and had things taken care of before I even knew there was an issue. The location was perfect, the beach was not overcrowded, and the shelling was great! Will definitely be coming back.

Beach relaxation!
We enjoyed our vacation and had everything we needed plus more. We had a week of relaxation and really had a wonderful time. The few questions I had were answered promptly and we were notified quickly of some parking changes that were needed due to some outdoor maintenance and improvements. Absolutely no issues and we would for sure book again!
Very nice condo only a few short minutes walk away from a fantastic beach access with lots of shells. Bags for shell collecting, beach chairs and umbrella were much appreciated! Kitchen had all amenities necessary for cooking meals and washer and dryer for our laundry. There was a wonderful selection of beach reads for adults and some board games as well. The host was very responsive to our questions, always responding quickly. My family of 6 really enjoyed our stay! Thank you!
