The hosts were wonderful! Great communication and easy to connect to. The condo was perfect. Comfortable beds, great decor, everything you need for a at home feel was provided. The best part by far, the view. It’s the most perfect view of the ocean with comfortable seating to have a cup of coffee or breakfast while watching the sunrise.

Can't say enough great things about our stay. Most impressed with all the little extras that were included. Things like towel racks in each bedroom, hampers, well stocked kitchen with quality stuff, even the Charmin tp!!! Beautifully decorated & very comfortable. Hosts were super responsive.

Perfect location and accommodation

We stayed at here in July, and this condo right on the beach was perfect for the 5 of us - 3 adults and 2 children ages 7 and 9. We enjoyed the quiet location on the beach, and the pool was a plus. The condo was very clean, the kitchen was well-equipped, and bedrooms comfortable. The beach toys were great and we appreciated having the shibumi for shade. All in all, it was a wonderful spot for our vacation, and we highly recommend this property.

A trip with my momma!!

Mom and I had a great time. This was actually the same place that she used to bring me and my brother when we were kids. Nostalgic memories!! She would just stand on the balcony and stare at the ocean...I knew she was remembering all the wonderful memories that were had at OIB. Visited the oyster festival which was where a water slide used to be when we were kids. It was a fun time. The condo was super clean, having everything we needed. Only thing I would have liked which of course isn't for everyone would have been maybe a TV in master bedroom or the other adult room and maybe rocking chairs or something a little more comfortable to sit in for awhile and gaze at the ocean. Other than that .. everything was absolutely wonderful. The hosts were very attentive. Will absolutely rent this unit again in the future. Thanks for having us and giving me memories to remember with my mom one day!!

FINE extra touches

It's all in the FINE extra touches. Condo is tastefully decorated with high-end items, everything we needed was there, even nice felt hangers (ha). Seriously, from fancy soap to fabric bandaids, they've thought of every convenience of home. Video games, toys and games for family night as well as Lincoln Logs for the littles (an actual vintage tin can, so cute). Perfect set up with QUALITY bedding and linens, even the bunkbeds are comfortable. Slept as well there as at home. Also, AC works extremely well, nice to come in to after a sweaty day on the beach. Just steps from the ocean in a two-level building; only 12 units within the three building complex equals less folks crowding the ocean area and a decent-size pool. Nice balcony overlooking the ocean and cute little patio area at entrance for leaving beach supplies and sandy shoes. SUPER convenient. Just minutes to stores, restaurants and other entertainment. Only suggestion would be TVs in the bedrooms; atleast one other TV would be helpful. I knew it would be an amazing place to stay when I tried to extend our stay an extra night. This just means we will have to come back, I will definitely stay again and grateful we found C2 Shining Sea. Thank you for sharing your home.
