Beautiful place!!
We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay there again! Location was nice with just a short walk to the beach. One of the only complaints was not enough wash cloths.

Very Attractive Interior and Comfortable
Everything was really great. Does need some fixup work. Stairwell hand railing was loose. Outside patio light hanging off. Toilet paper dispenser in 1st floor bathroom very loose. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our stay at this unit.
Did not have a need to communicate with Property Mgr so I rated it 5 anyway.

Vacation 2023
This was our second time to stay in this rental. We love the location and proximity to the beach. The townhouse is nicely furnished and has all the amenities of home. We enjoy staying here and will hopefully be back again!
Condo was in a locked area. Area was quiet and clean. Unit is close to the pool and has beach equipment in a storage closet out back. Walk to the private beach was very short and the beach was amazing.

Lovely property
Loved this location and unit, would definitely stay again. Very short walk to the beach with easy access. Pool even shorter walk and very clean. Unit was spotless and had everything you could possibly think of needing (extra chargers, stocked kitchen, extra fans). Pictures were accurate. Only downsides are the washer/dryer was very small and no light to get in/out of the property so plan to wait a bit, congested area in summer. Overall 5/5!
The condo was very nice and looked exactly like the online pictures. It was a short walk to the beach and very close to the pool. We had a problem with the a/c on our first night and the property manager took care of it immediately. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay there again.

I couldn’t have asked for a better location. The beach access was exactly what we were looking for & for the price it couldn’t be beat. It was the perfect week for my family & I. We will book again next summer ♥️

The house has been remodeled recently. Everything was clean & beautiful.. you could see the pool from the upstair window and from the back door. The walk to the beach wasn’t far at all. It was very well stocked to include all of the essentials, (I.e. beach chairs, floaters, etc)
