This was a perfect spot for our family and our dog! Super clean, comfortable, and baby safe. Million dollar view just steps from the ocean. Walking distance to our favorite taco shop! We will definitely be back again!

Beautiful property you won’t be disappointed with the amazing view that it offers. The amenities offered are more than enough to enjoy yourself as they provide a lot. We didn’t really do much in the area just took in the view and relaxed but well worth the trip. Most definitely will book again and recommend.

The view was amazing. Loved the patio especially. You can even watch and hear the ocean from the living room. I loved that they allowed pets so my dog could join us. Many other guests at the other units had pets so it made a nice little community. Place was clean, seemed newly remodeled. Property manager was very responsive to any questions/requests. It was a great location for walking and to restaurants. I would highly recommend this location.

Really enjoyed our stay. Perfect location, extremely easy access to beach, and very relaxing. My only objection is the patio is right off the beach and the constant traffic during the day was a lot, but night time was quiet. I also wish there were a broom and mop so we could clean floors as the beach brings lots of water and sand in house. Even though there is no AC the beach brings in cool air, plus the host has fans. I also love they have beach accessories as well. Will definitely be back!
