The Caribbean 203 condo is nicely furnished and well stocked. Many of the other rentals there had dogs and we enjoyed meeting them and see how other dog moms and dads care enough to bring their dogs. We will gladly rent this condo at our next stay.

Beautiful place!
Everything in the condo was updated and new from floors to granite. The second floor balcony overlooks the ocean, and you can hear the waves crashing. Everything was just as promised, and we absolutely loved our time there.

We had an amazing stay!
This condo was perfect for me, my husband and our dog. We found it to be clean, neat and tidy. The beach view from the balcony is one of the best and nice that access to the beach is so close and easy. There are no negatives, this condo is an excellent choice with no regrets!

The best getaway from the hustle and bustle!
We arrived for a 3 night stay to a very clean and organized condo. Spacious enough for what you need and a beautiful patio right on the beach and above the pool. The condo has everything you need. Appliances were of good quality and everything worked perfectly. Will definitely stay again!

Great place and great location
The condo was very nice and looked to be recently remodeled. It was very clean and right on the beach. The views from the living room and balcony were fantastic. The owner was responsive and easy to contact. It was great finding an oceanfront place that was dog friendly. I would definitely stay here again if I'm in the area.

Nice Condo
You can tell this Condo has been updated and decorated. A short walk to the beach. We really enjoyed our stay here. Terry’s Vacation Rental Company is definitely a good rental company to use. We had an issue when we first got there and as soon as I contacted her, I received an answer right back. They really work with you and made sure everything is as it should be. Thanks for everything.

Very Dog Friendly, Great Location, Great Condo
If I could live in this condo I would. Easy to get to, quaint yet perfect for 2-4 people, especially with kids and dogs, and everything worked well. Beach was easy to get to with plenty of room. Pools were clean and fun for the kids. Quiet evenings. Clean and well stocked. Patio setting was perfect for watching the pool and beach. Plenty of seating for dinner outside. I traveled alone with my child and dog, and I felt safe the whole time. Well lit at night for dog potty breaks. Security was great. Working with Terry was great. Easy to communicate with and helped with any questions I had. Laundry, kitchen and entertainment gadgets worked perfect. We loved it there.
