Loved the location! Loved the condo! The only thing that was difficult for us was carrying everything up and down three flights for stairs, but we had younger children with us and I didn’t realize or read that there wasn’t an elevator. I would definitely stay here again though!

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad to hear you loved both the condo and its location and that you had an enjoyable stay overall. We appreciate your feedback regarding the stairs. We understand that carrying belongings and traveling with younger children can make multiple flights of stairs more challenging. Thank you for sharing your experience, as it may be helpful for future guests when considering accommodations that do not have elevator access. We're delighted to hear that you would stay with us again, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another great vacation!

Great location. Condo was as advertised. Great pool and hot tub, but lounging chairs are very hard and uncomfortable. Very nice condo, a little small but comfortable. Lots to do in the area and lots of walking options. Just minutes from the beach. Will be back.

Perfect spot .. just across the road from Crystal Beach… would not say it’s close to shopping without a rental… a Swiffer and a new broom would be good. I bought one and passed it on to another guest when leaving

Great location!

Very nice condo with one bedroom, bunk beds, and a pull out bed in living room. Plenty of towels, very clean, very comfortable bed. Best thing was the location to the beach - about a 2 minute walk. Beautiful view from balcony!A few cons: no nightstand next to one side of the bed, loud dryer, and the beach access only allows a small area to set up chairs and umbrellas, due to private beach area on both sides. We absolutely loved our stay and will definitely be back!

Teresa, Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We're so glad you loved the condo and especially enjoyed the comfort, cleanliness, and that unbeatable location just steps from the beach. The view from the balcony really is something special! We also truly appreciate your helpful feedback. We apologize for the inconvenience with the nightstand and the noise from the dryer—we’ll be looking into both to see how we can improve. Beach access and setup space can sometimes be a challenge in areas with private sections, but we’re glad it didn’t take away from your overall experience. It means a lot that you'd choose to stay with us again—we’d love to welcome you back soon! Sharon and the Shore Dreams Team
