Perfect location

This spot was perfect for our long weekend! It was just my husband and I this trip, but seeing how family friendly the area is, we’ll be back with our family next time. The location is absolutely perfect! We spent a lot of time on the balcony and were able to walk to almost everything. Our condo was clean and well stocked and very quiet. The ocean was the loudest part and we loved it! We hope to be back someday soon!

Awesome

It was a great. The only thing is, there needs to be no smoking signs on the balcony. The people staying next to me sat on the balcony and smoked. We called many times and it never stopped. We were only able to sit on our balcony once for a very short time. Big no smoking signs need to be posted outside.

The view of the beach was amazing. The unit was very clean. The only thing is that we feel paper towels, more than one roll of toilet paper, and coffee filters should have been provided. There were plenty of towels and that was very much appreciated. It was great having a washer and dryer in the unit.
