The condo was lovely and better than the pictures online. The host was very easy to work with and was in contact with us regularly. She gave us some great restaurant ideas that we took advantage of trying. It was disappointing that the hot tub was not working at the building but that is not on the owner. We would highly recommend the condo and this host!!
We had an awesome stay at this condo!! It was very family friendly, clean, awesome location and great communication from the owner!! Highly recommend!!
We had a wonderful long weekend! We enjoyed the beautiful beach and listening to the sounds of the ocean from the balcony .
It was a perfect location for our low key off season stay
Our family enjoyed our stay at this condo. The space is inviting, the kitchen is very well equipped and the beds were comfortable. Super easy access to the beach and pool made our stay easy breezy! We would definitely book again!
We visited Jaime and Crystals place over the Thanksgiving holiday and had a great stay! The place was very clean and looked exactly like the attached photos. Although we were there during the off season, we still found great places to eat and fun things to do thanks to the recommendations that were provided. I would definitely stay again!
Great location, right on the beach. We came for a soccer tournament and enjoyed escaping the crowds.
The place was as described and met all our needs. I would recommend and revisit.
We had a wonderful visit with our son who was on holiday liberty. We always try to look for someplace that has plenty of seating for everybody. The kitchen was well stocked. The beach is a walk out the door of the garage. Thanks for a great stay!
Jaime was very communicative ahead of our stay which made checking in and finding our parking spot easy. The property is situated on the beach at the southern end of Sandbridge, which was very quiet and a great spot for our family (including 2 small dogs). Beach accessibility and pool facilities were perfect for us.
Comfortable condo/home in a very convenient location - On the beach and next door to Back Bay Wildlife Refuge. The property manager was super communicative and the place was lovely. Thank you!
We had a nice stay. Unfortunately this was not a vacation for us, so we basically only slept at the condo. The condo was decorated nice….love the Carolina Blue. There was plenty of room for us and thank you for accommodating our service dog.
I found this property to be very comfortable fully stocked with everything needed to cook and clean. Any questions that I had the property owner was excellent at returning my text
My family and I had a great time at the condo… the layout and space was great for us! Thank you for communicating well before and during our stay. Pleasantly surprised with everything available to use in the unit.
I traveled with my mom and aunts for quick stress-free weekend. The condo is amazing. Very clean, fully equipped,and we definitely took advantage of the large tv in the living room with surround sound and the very short walk to the beach. Super Convenient!! Hosts are amazing and very communicable!
The house was immaculately clean and comfortable for an early Galentines Weekend away with friends. Communication with the host was excellent and all of the information that was given beforehand was thorough. I have never had a host send so much information prior to the visit. There was no stone left unturned. I will definitely be visiting again!
It was a beautiful decorated condo. We had beach and bay views from our balcony. Our host had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. They had a nice kitchen so we could do some meals in.They also gave us some great suggestions for things to do around the area. So helpful! We had a great time, hope to come back again!
This condo is well laid out, consisting of high-quality materials and appliances. Ample supplies are provided: cookware, dishes, silverware, paper, supplies, and much more. Easy access to the beach, less than three minutes, very child friendly. The owners are readily available and willing to help anyway they can should you have any questions.
We were supposed to go to Siesta Key Florida but got washed out by Hurricane Helene. So, we had to scramble and pick a different direction. We chose Virginia Beach. We chose well. The condo was very nice, beach was clear. Local food was good. We had a very nice trip. The condo is spacious and nice. Also well equipped ! We highly recommend a stay here!
