Great place and great location

The condo was very nice and looked to be recently remodeled. It was very clean and right on the beach. The views from the living room and balcony were fantastic. The owner was responsive and easy to contact. It was great finding an oceanfront place that was dog friendly. I would definitely stay here again if I'm in the area.

Our family of four had a wonderful time! The condo was very clean and comfortable! Loved that the beach was steps away. The kitchen was fully furnished with everything we needed and the table on the balcony made for a great breakfast and evening spot to listen to the waves! The kids liked being able to swim in the indoor pool when we had afternoon rain and the outdoor pool of an evening after spending the day on the beach! The king bed was very comfortable and our boys said the bunk beds were comfortable and cozy! I appreciated having a washer and dryer to do a couple loads of laundry before we checked out to lessen the unpacking nightmare that awaits me when we get home haha, thankful for the two laundry pods provided We definitely will tell friends to stay here and plan to stay here again on our next trip!

Summer Vacation

It was a fantastic experience from the beginning to end! The property manager was always quick to respond! They were very gracious and helpful! We arrived a little early and the manager was quick to respond. They quickly checked to see if the condo was clean and if we could check early! This was such a God send because we have been traveling over 10 hours with a English Mastiff! He was ready to stretch! I can’t say enough about how incredible the experience was! Thank you!

The Caribbean 203 condo is nicely furnished and well stocked. Many of the other rentals there had dogs and we enjoyed meeting them and see how other dog moms and dads care enough to bring their dogs. We will gladly rent this condo at our next stay.
