Yes, we may not be oceanfront, but we cannot beat the beautiful view that we have from our condo. We are fortunate in the fact that nothing is built on the beach across the street from us. And we love the fact that we have deeded access to the beach for our guests that make it easy to have your toes in the sand in no time!

Thank you Heather! Top compliments received by guests are location, view, cleanliness and the extras we provide! We keep a deck box that contains 4 beach chairs, an umbrella, sand toys and a cooler so you don’t have to worry about hauling those things with you as you travel! We want your vacation to be as relaxing and stress free as possible and one way we hope to accomplish this is by fewer trips to the store! We stock the kitchen with practically everything possible you could need along with child friendly utensil/cups. I’m glad you found time to relax on the balcony and enjoy the gorgeous view of the beach! Thank you for staying with us! Please come back again!
