Enjoyed a wonderful week long vacation at the property! We had 4 adults and 4 kids with plenty of room to move about the condo. The location was perfect for going to the beach. We also spent each day in the pool too. Great time and memories made!

Loved the location and the unit. Had an issue with the hot water heater that left us without hot water for one night, but they came and repaired it very early the next morning. I’d definitely recommend and stay again.

The condo was a great location and very clean. Super easy beach access, great heated pool, hot tub and grilling area. Easy walk to restaurants, two minute drive to grocery. Great security staff that was super helpful. We had a problem with internet and cable when we arrived but it was quickly resolved. Had a fabulous time and would highly recommend.

Stayed here for a bachelorette trip. 5 minute walk to the beach. Very spacious and clean. There is only one parking spot, and the overflow parking is 30$ a night, and is a 10 minute walk away. Other than the parking, it’s a great place to stay!

Hi Linda,
Thank you for taking the time to review your recent stay. We appreciate you bringing to our attention that more silverware is needed. If we can help you again in the future, please let us know. Sincerely, Kim & The Shore Dreams Vacation Rentals Team
Loved the proximity to the beach. Condo itself was very clean and spacious. Community pool was awkwardly warm so we opted to walk to the beach instead which was perfect since it’s only a 2 minute walk. Kitchen was well equipped. Cons: AC return in front bedroom is loud so I recommend only heavy sleepers in queen bedroom. Patio overlooks the backyard next door where renters partied nightly. Trying to relax on the patio yielded loud music, chants of “chug” and failed marriage stories.

Thank you for your detailed review. We’re glad you enjoyed the clean, spacious condo, well-equipped kitchen, and the short walk to the beach. We appreciate your feedback regarding the AC, patio noise, and pool temperature. Guest input helps us identify areas for improvement. We hope despite those challenges, you still had a relaxing and enjoyable stay and would be happy to host you again in the future.
This condo was a great location for what we needed! We did a wedding at a beach house across the street and needed extra space!
The condo was great, beds were comfy, and showers had good water pressure!!
Common areas had plenty of space too!!
You can’t see the beach, but you can’t get to it without 3 min walk!!

The property looked exactly like the pictures and did not disappoint. The walk to the beach was less then 3 mins. The knives weren't sharp ,the kitchen faucet had a slight drip and the back patio light was out. But overall a very beautiful place. Slept 7 comfortably.

The property was amazing. I loved the location. The beach is directly across the street. I really liked the security(i.e. gates, etc) that made me feel really safe. I loved that we were like 2 minutes from downtown(shopping, restaurants,etc). The property was very clean, spacious, comfortable. It was amazing. it was just overall a good experience. Ill definitely be visiting again

Condo was very clean & just as pictured. Short walk to beach. Only issue we had with staying there was one elevator was down the entire time & the hot tub didn’t work. As much as you pay the amenities should be able to be utilized. Also wasn’t happy about the parking issue which is not noted on anything until you already reserve. Only one car is ridiculous for a 3 bedroom condo. We had 3 different families & had to pay to park 2 cars. Overall it was a decent stay!

Thank you so much for your detailed feedback. We’re glad you found the condo clean and as pictured, and that the short walk to the beach worked well for your stay. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience with the elevator and hot tub. Regarding parking, we try and ensure the details are in each listing, but we truly appreciate your input and will work to make this even clearer for future guests. We hope to welcome you back and provide an even better experience next time!
Everything was great! The place was clean and have plenty of space to sit and watch TV or eat a meal together. The only downfall is that the bedroom with the queen bed is incredibly loud; the AC unit is in the closet. It startles you awake every 45 minutes, plus it is generally very loud. Everything else was fantastic!

Condo was beautiful! We loved the kitchen! Short walk to the beach. The condo is in a building back away from the road. In the advertised pictures it makes it seem like it’s in the building that is horizontal to the road and it’s not. It’s located near the back of the complex. The pictures that were advertised for the pool seemed very deceiving. I was sure there were 2 pools. But there was only one and it was small. We never used the pool because it was packed. But all in all it was a nice place to stay. Clean, roomy, and short walk to the beach!
