Overall it was a good stay, very clean and super close to the beach. The pool/ playground was a huge hit with the kids. The beds are not very comfortable and the downstairs shower is very slippery when wet and the kids kept falling. The outdoor grills are rusted so I suggest bringing your own but they did have a baby gate for the stairs which was nice.

Family Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was a nice condo close to beach! Only problem noted was that the GFCI on the wall with the stove kept tripping every time you tried to use the coffee pot had to move coffee maker to a different plug on a different wall. Also the living room rug was pretty soiled and could used a good shampoo or replacement.
Response from VrboOwner on 23 Jul, 2025
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the condo and its close proximity to the beach. We appreciate you letting us know about the outlet issue and living room rug—both will be passed along to our team to address. We hope to welcome you back for an even better stay next time!

Great stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The place was comfortable and as advertised. It was within a reasonable walking distance to the beach, and the pool was great for our six kids.We had a couple minor maintenance issues, and the management company was swift to respond and get them fixed.The only catch for us was it was advertised as having beds for 10 I think, but only had seating for 4 at the counter. I should have payed attention to the pictures and noticed the lack of a table in the public space. Our game night plans changed a little, but we made it work.
Response from VrboOwner on 12 Aug, 2025
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad the condo was comfortable and the pool was a hit with your kids.

A sanctuary for traveling families

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place was an absolute treasure for our family! The accommodations were perfect for my 6 and 9 year old who needed some fun (bunk beds, splash pad, pool, and playground), but also for myself who needed all these amenities in a secure and safe environment. The townhome felt brand new, management was easily reached by text, and the location was walking distance to the beach. I would definitely come back!

Nice location, disappointed by other tendants

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was a nice place to stay and the pool/play area was awesome. We were a family of 5 with a toddler so the location was perfect and fun for our grandson to play. The disappointing factor was the size of parking and how my husband's truck was vandalized while we were there (broken mirror on driver side) which we believe happened by the tenants next door parking. The parking was tight, particularly for full-size vehicles therefore the assumption is they got angry that the mirror was in their "parking area" which we were parked within the lines as assigned. Other than this we have no complaints, great place and nice condo.
Response from VrboOwner on 12 Jul, 2025
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad you enjoyed the condo, especially the pool and play area perfect for your grandson. We’re sorry to hear about the parking situation and your husband’s truck—tight parking can be challenging, and we understand how frustrating that must have been. We appreciate your feedback and hope to provide an even better stay next time.
