Pet friendly, walk to beach

This condo met our pet needs and was still convenient to the beach. Overall good accommodations, but kitchen was a little small/cramped. However, it served our needs and allowed us some much needed family time while we enjoyed the beach and the area.

Nice for the Price

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall convenient location. This particular unit is a bit dated and could use new kitchen supplies such as pots, pans and a coffee pot. The current selection is limited and has seen better days. :( TV is living room is a bit small if trying to have family movie night... having an couple extra blankets would also be nice - bedding is very thin and light and after a day of sun and ac a blanket while watching tv is soothing PS - the entry code is 7 digits long which seemed a bit much and hard to remember
Response from VrboOwner on 12 Jul, 2025
Thank you for your feedback! We’ll share your thoughts about updating the kitchen supplies with the owner. The 7-digit entry code is designed for added security, but we appreciate your input and will keep it in mind.
