Exemplary communication with host, ease of check in and out, location and cleanliness of unit. Breathtaking sunrise and sunset views directly from private beachfront balcony. Anything and everything to cook with plus lots and lots of towels available so you don’t have to do laundry! Would stay here again in a heartbeat.
Sunrises were worth getting for!
An evening ritual- “wine down” with the sun. Sunsets are spectacular from the balcony.

The photos for this listing are spot on! The views are spectacular and the modern beach feel of the condo is beautiful and tastefully done. The king bed in the master was very comfortable. We happened to be there during the first snow in over 35 years which was kinda different for a beach vacation.We’ll need to come back when the weather is a little milder.
