The condo was sparkling clean and had very nice decor. We felt right at home here. We really appreciated that the host was very easy to communicate with and even checked in periodically to make sure everything was perfect for us. The view was fantastic. There was plenty of comfortable seating on the balcony. We loved having the included beach chair service. We would love to stay here again for our next trip!

Host was very communicative and was flexible with check in which was much appreciated. Great beach views and balcony and had the benefit of an extra bathroom which came in handy. Our first summer stay in PCB so we weren’t used to crowds or elevator traffic but overall not too bad. Thanks for everything John. Would recommend.
