First Light: PierView Oceanfront Condo, Contemporary Vibes & Stunning Views

10/10 Excellent

"This beachfront condo was incredible! Hard to beat this location sitting right on the beach with breathtaking, unobstructed views of the ocean & Jennette's Pier. Located up two flights of stairs (we didn't utilize the elevator), it gave an incredible vantage point. The durable poly lumber furniture on the balcony was barstool height, giving a perfect view of the ocean without having to look through the balcony rails while sitting. It was the perfect spot to sit, watch the waves, feel the fresh ocean breeze, and completely relax. The condo itself was spotlessly clean, including the nice, updated bathrooms. Having an in-unit washer/dryer was a massive convenience. The beds were comfy and we slept well. The living room had a comfortable couch to relax and chat. We didn't use the TV or Wi-Fi. The kitchen was fully equipped with plenty of dishes, silverware, pots, pans, coffee maker, blender. The refrigerator was spotless when we arrived.The building offers private beach access via a sand path over the dune (no stairs or boardwalk). Walking through the deep sand over the dune was doable (not easy) but completely worth it once you made to the water! Communication was seamless. We missed the message stating the lock had been updated to keyless entry. The caretaker replied with our access code in less than a minute. Both host and caretaker were easy to reach, responsive and helpful. Had a wonderful, relaxing time. Would absolutely stay here again! Highly recommend."
