I was looking for a place for some ‘me’ time. This was the perfect spot. I will be back! I read, wrote, walked, napped, and relaxed to the sounds of the ocean just off the porch. Absolutely lovely!

This property was as described. The host. Steve was very quick to respond and was very accommodating. The Parking was excellent. Pool was great. The location was perfect. Could not get any closer to the beach. We stayed for three days celebrating my mother-in-law‘s 86th birthday. It was just perfect. I would definitely recommend staying there and we will be staying there again in the future.

We had the best time! I don’t think you can get any closer to the beach. The parking spot is excellent (right outside your door) The host was so nice. Listening to the waves was just wonderful and relaxing. We would definitely go back there. The ONLY thing missing was hair conditioner. Plenty of shampoo and body wash. Kitchen had everything! Very very clean.

This is by far one of the best places we have stayed at the beach. You literally feel like you're sitting in the ocean at high tide. Condo has everything you need and more! You can tell it is maintained with care. This is our second time staying here in both times were fantastic! We are now looking to book for a third time to bring my dad to experience this condo. Looking forward to him enjoying the ocean without having to get out on the sand.

Great stay as always! Steve is a great host! He is fast to respond & is always updating the property with new amenities. My stay was my 4th over the last few years (previous three stays were under the prior listing). I keep coming back to The Heart because it is the perfect location & has everything I need. I love listening to the roar of the ocean while I nap, watching the waves from the deck, & taking in an unmarred view of the sunrise without having to leave the condo!

I love sitting in the hammock & listening to the waves!

Well the pictures speak for themselves. This was our second stay there. We stayed back over new years, and the weather was just a bit too cool to sit outside and enjoy that porch. So when our calendars opened up we decided a Spring return would be nice. What I can tell you that the pictures can't is the owner Steve is an excellent communicator. He's right on top of making sure you know where you're going and how to get in. The house is very well stocked with anything you might have forgotten. Cleanliness is top notch. Everything is spotless and you can walk around barefoot without getting sand on your feet. But there's no real reason to go out and get sand on your feet, you're literally right on the beach when you open the sliding glass door. And if you have a pale skinned redhead with you, that kind of sun protection is second to none. Did I mention this house is literally on the beach? I stepped on to the porch one night at high tide and the water was crashing against the water breaks and splashing on the porch. I just don't have anything negative to say about my stay here.
