We really enjoyed staying in this updated, cute and very comfortable Condo. It was the perfect size, and it was so nice to have access to a wagon, beach towels and beach chairs. We walked to the beach and into town every day. We rarely had to drive anywhere since there are great restaurants within walking distance. The air conditioning was greatly appreciated! I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to family and friends.

Hello Tamara,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the condo and found it comfortable, well-equipped, and in a convenient location. It’s great to know the beach gear and A/C made your stay even better. We’d love to welcome you back anytime, and we truly appreciate your recommendation to family and friends!
The location was perfect and literally one block to an awesome beach with good waves, soft sand, and peaceful vibes!. It was quiet and easy to come and go. Everything was provided on site at property for the beach. The staff was friendly and we had an amazing vacation! I would definitely book again to stay here. Felt very safe and welcomed the entire time. Plenty of space for my daughter and I and our pug dog! You guys have done a wonderful job with the place and it is beautiful. Thank you for everything:)
This is the second time that we have stayed there. I chose it because it is pet friendly. My son and daughter in-law have a small dog. They stay two nights with us as he only has two days off, Monday and Tuesday. The property has had a major remodel and is very comfortable. It’s close to the beach and I’m able to walk down the street and fish. Lots of restaurants are close by but we try to cook at home at least a couple evenings. The kitchen is well equipped albeit small. That’s fine with me. The beds are very comfortable. And the neighborhood is quiet. The house has all the beach gear needed for a day at the out. There is a parking for my car, and a back yard with fire pit. Outdoor shower to rinse off my sandy feet. I used the propane BBQ grill to cook the salmon I bought at the farmers market. The grill was spotless. Works perfectly. A table and chairs with an umbrella was perfect for my happy hour. We bring food,clothes and my fishing gear. Everything else is there. My happy spot.
