When you arrive, you'll walk right in to the living room that boasts a comfortable queen sleeper sofa & two accent chairs for lounging. Our breakfast bar seating 4 sits right by the windows in the open area right off the living room. With a wall of windows & sliding glass doors encompassing the living room the natural light is incredible! We've added a brand new Smart Tv that guests can feel free to login to their own streaming services (Netflix, Hulu, Etc) while traveling as well!

The kitchen area has an open concept to the living room for enjoying your meals and time together. We've stocked this kitchen with full appliances, dishes, bake ware, pots & pans, silverware, utensils, crockpot, blender, and a traditional coffee maker & Keurig! If you plan to cook during your trip, we encourage you to bring along any spices, condiments, & oils you may need as we do not provide any perishable or non perishable items. We have an easy to use high chair, cutlery, cups, and plastic dishes for our tiny travelers as well!

Directly off the living area you can find the bedroom with a comfortable King bed with an abundance of pillows for a comfortable nights sleep. In the closet are two memory foam twin fold out beds, that are easily used anywhere you desire in the condo. A Smart tv is perfect for relaxing in bed watching your favorite shows at the end of the day.

The bathroom offers a nicely remodeled shower, soft towels, and plenty of space to get ready in. We've designed this space with the comforts of home & not a cramped & cold hotel feel!

Our laundry area offers guests the convenience of a stackable washer and dryer for use during your stay. No need to visit the laundromat!

Enjoy a cup of coffee on the patio, in our quiet & family friendly neighborhood!

Tiny Travelers:
We include a pack and play, booster seat style high chair, and kids dishes/silverware/cups. These items are always complimentary & at the condo for every guest.

Pets:
Any stay that a house trained pet will be included in MUST be disclosed when booking, as a pet fee of $50 is required. We do not accept more than 2 pets, and pets must be crated when unattended and cleaned up after inside and out. Pets are not permitted on furniture at any time. ADA recognized service animals are not charged a pet fee, but ESA (Emotional Support Animals) are still subject to pet fee. False information regarding a service animal is against the law in our state, so we appreciate your honesty in this matter.

Other Things to Note:
A few important things to keep in mind:

-Due to this being a residential complex, noise ordinances are at 10pm sharp. We do not permit excessive noise, parties, illegal activity, or disturbances at any time.
-This is a second floor unit, with no elevator, stairs only.
-While we do host groups 25 years or younger at our discretion, we must be notified before your confirmed booking. We do not host one night bookings for ages 25 and younger at any time.
-We are NOT beachfront, you can't see the beach, you can't stick your toes in the sand from the front door, and you do have to get in your vehicle to drive to the PUBLIC beach access that is 3/4 mile from our condo. We do NOT have a gated or private beach access at this location. We do provide beach towels for guests but any other beach or pool items are not guaranteed.
-This is a mixed community with residential & short term guests alike. While the gated community itself is a "community in transition" with updates to the exterior being improved steadily, we do not have control over any "look" of the exterior of our condo. We have gone above & beyond to create a beautiful & cozy space INSIDE for our guests enjoyment!
