It was top shelf! Everything was very clean. I loved the little details, like roses on the TP roll. Bow on the PT roll and such. Loved the balcony, could watch the sun rise and people catching fish on the pier. Thank you so much for a lovely stay. The steps were alittle challenging because of health reasons, but well worth it. Hope to be back soon.

Very clean and cozy home located in a great location - walking distance to many restaurants and attractions. The venue next door (Tiki Hut/High Tides) had live bands, but they weren't loud at all. Would stay here again.

Great Beach Getaway

This unit is perfect for a getaway for a couple or friends. The balcony and primary bedroom have beach views, and there is outdoor seating for coffee or conversation. Several dining options are nearby, and there is also as a full kitchen if you want to stay in. Impeccably clean and comfortably furnished with very responsive management.
