The accommodations were wonderful and Carla is a fantastic host!! Had everything we could have needed for our weeklong stay. Lots of restaurants within walking distance or just a very short drive away if needed. The beach access could not have been easier and it was amazing to just head across the street with our morning coffee and take a walk each day. She has a brand new propane grill that we used for the first time that works great!! Will definitely consider Anchors Aweigh again for another future trip.

Our host is awesome. She takes care of everything you may want and more. Suggestions for eating out, shopping and friendship. True friendship. Not just owner to lease holder. The beach is closer than two minutes, it is literally across the street! Clean and filled with families not party hungry teens! Best vacation in my life!!

It was wonderful being so close both to the beach and to the restaurants while being on a quiet little road. The accommodations are very comfortable and welcoming. Carla has gone out of her way to make it a home away from home.

My stay here was wonderful. The owner was kind and generous making sure the condo was clean and quiet. The walk to the beach was short and easy and absolutely what I needed to get away. I am planning on staying here again next summer. What a wonderful trip I had.
