The kitchen was fully stocked, the beach view was superb. Very easy access to the beach. The only concern for anyone going is the parking, the spots are a little tight to get into. I understand the building is built that way but it is hard to maneuver.

This condo was gorgeous and had everything you could ever need, especially the view!!! The property manager reached out to us to check if all was going well and if we needed anything, talked to Sam prior to our arrival and Logan during our stay! Would not hesitate to book this Condo again, definitely a 5 Star stay!!!

Perfect Beach Condo

Beautiful and clean condo just steps from the beach. Accommodated four adults and two children without feeling cramped. Small complex meant plenty of space on the beach. Covered parking space was tight for a large suv but there were plenty of additional parking spots in the parking lot. Would stay here again!

Family Vacation

The condo was very clean which is something that I am very particular about. The kitchen was fully stocked with dinnerware, silverware, glasses, etc. so you don't have to constantly run the dishwasher. The company that manages it contacted me during the first few days of our stay to see if I had any questions or comments which made it more personal. There is a new boardwalk to access the beach and an access code is required to access the boardwalk and the restrooms by the pool area which is nice. The only suggestion I have is to mount towel bars in the master bath.

Great family vacation spot

The location was directly on the beach, our condo had the balcony facing the ocean and you couldn’t beat the view. The condo was plenty big enough to fit 5-6 people. The only complaint my wife and I had was the bed in the master bedroom. It was so uncomfortable that my wife and I were waking up multiple times a night every night we were there. The bed was really stiff! It got so bad my wife chose to sleep on the couch rather than the bed the last night there. Other than this, our stay was great!

NO pool.

The property description clearly list a pool with a picture. The pool was closed and in very bad repair-- it was not a one day occurrence. it would have been nice to have the pool on the days when the surf was too rough to enjoy the ocean water. The bed sheets were too small for the mattress and would not stay on. Our assigned parking place was very small and difficult to maneuver, even though we had a small car. The beautiful location and large condo made the overall trip very nice.
