This two bedroom, 1.5 bath condo was clean, well stocked with towels, had a nice kitchen, and cutely decorated. The condo is part of a condominium complex that is on the beach, but this building isn't. However, it's a short walk through the property and still qualifies for "on the beach" since you don't cross a street. The owners have beach chairs, water toys, and a cooler guests can use (I didn't use them, but its nice knowing they are there!). I didn't use much in the kitchen, but it seemed like an adequate supply of pots, pans, etc. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would stay again!

The single beds were really comfortable and we liked having separate bathroadults so didn’t try the sleeper sofa but the couch was comfortable and the place had everything we needed.

Thanks so much for your review! We are really glad you found the beds comfy and liked having the separate bathrooms. Happy to hear the couch and everything else worked well for your stay, too. Just a quick note for future guests — the beds in the second bedroom are full/double-sized — and we’re glad they provided a great night’s rest! Thanks again for staying, and you’re welcome back anytime!
