We had three adults and two kids stay at this condo and it was the perfect size! During low tide we walked right out and set up umbrella and jumped in the water. It was the perfect condo for a beach getaway!
Couldn’t have been happier. Everything was super clean when we arrived. Everything we needed was provided. Location was ideal for our needs and you can’t beat the sound of the ocean outside your window. Excellent communication with the host. Check in and check out couldn’t have been any easier. We will definitely be returning.
The best part of this stay was the beachfront location beautiful views and waking up to the sound of the ocean. The home itself had some cleanliness concerns that impacted the experience. There were German cockroaches present during our stay, and the space also had a noticeable odor. These issues made it difficult to fully feel comfortable in the home.I did reach out to the host privately, and they were responsive and indicated they would address the concerns.Overall, the location is excellent, but improvements are needed in cleanliness and pest control to match the potential of the property.
