Very nice stay for Labor Day weekend!

Had a great stay at this condo for Labor Day weekend. Very convenient access to the beach and just perfect for the 3 of us. Had an issue with the AC going out, but owner responded quickly and got a new AC installed while we were out having fun. Highly recommend!

The place was fine considering the weather we left early probably would stay if we had been on ocean

Weather kind of messed up the trip place was fine but it over looked the parking lot and being stuck inside we decided to come home a day early had we been ocean front we would’ve probably stayed the whole time

Great stay 2 minute walk to the beach!

Property was as described, clean, easy check in, great location close to the beach. We got lucky and had beautiful weather, ocean was gorgeous. Good size condo for 2 ppl, even though there’s a pull out couch would be a bit small for more than 2 people. There was enough in the kitchen for us to be able to cook most nights we stayed also. Hope to come back again in the future!
