Great for our family! The place was clean and had everything we needed. The pool was nice, but being steps from the beach was nicer. We also like the proximity to the jetties. Great for fishing!

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.

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

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.
