This condo was beautiful! It was very well maintained. The primary bedroom bed was so very comfortable, and the furniture on the balcony was perfect for enjoying hours outside enjoying the water view. The uncrowded beach is just a short walk from the condo. What an excellent place to stay! We’ll definitely be back!
The condo was beautifully appointed, had everything you could ask for and was very clean. The host was great at communicating and I would stay here again. Thanks for a great rental!

This condo is a great place for a beach vacation! We try our best to give our renters a clean and great experience. Thank you for the review!
Very nice property. Excellent host. Clean and had nice starting supplies. I would say the listing could say more info on the layout. This condo has lots of stairs. Those with mobility concerns would be in trouble at this location. They could use wine glasses and better silverware, but these are nit picky comments. It is very spacious and a great location. The pool is very nice and the locals there are too. Communication from the host was excellent. Note: they want you to do several chores before leaving. We did not mind, the price was good for the 2 BR / 2.5 BA condo

Thank you for the review! As a host we strive to be extremely communicative during your stay. We apologize about the wine glasses and silverware - we will be sure to look into that. We are glad that you had a great stay and hope to see you again!
Michelle is an excellent host. She sent us a welcome package before our arrival, checked on us throughout our stay to ensure that we had everything we needed and provided special touches with a variety of coffee, snacks and waters. We had a very relaxing time and the condo was in very nice condition.
