We had a wonderful time staying here! The view was amazing! Steps from the clean beautiful beach. Plenty of room for my husband and me. The place was stocked with everything we needed. I especially liked that it came with two beach umbrellas and beach chairs were available on the beach. We will definitely be staying here again!

Gorgeous view of beach from 2nd floor, although a middle unit would have been nicer than end by trees. Fantastic amount of kitchen amenities but glad I brought a larger coffee pot. Plenty of towels and bed linen available with very comfortable murphy bed mattress. Provisions for the beach was exceptional. Would definitely stay here again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed at The Beach resort now several years. We love it!! We dont have to cross the road to get to the beach, we can cook where we are or we can go out to eat. If the waves are rough the girls can swim in the pool. This is our annual summer vacation!! Thank you ❤️

Beach condo

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Good location, on the beach. There was a problem with keypad entry upon checking in, maintenance came right over. It’s a small condo but was good for a just a few days, W/D in very small closet in condo would have been challenging to use long term.
