We loved this beautiful ocean-front home. Clean, convenient, beautiful. The only problem we had was that our check-in email gave us the incorrect key code and we had to bother the owner in the middle of the night to get the correct one. She was super kind and understanding.
We love it so much! 2nd time staying here. Beautiful property, amazing views, clean, furnished, easy to communicate with property management, we will for sure be back! 😊🌴☀️
This property location was perfect. Beach access was amazing as well as the pool. I really liked the smaller size building. The condo inside was just as described! Outside area could use a little sprucing up, but overall was good! Would stay again!
Our stay here was very refreshing and renewing. The view all day was great. The place was comfortable and quaint and clean. We loved being able to step out onto the beach and it wasn’t crowded. Communication was good. We will be back.
Location was great. Parking was interesting and did not accommodate guests. The beds were a bit high and my 88 year old mom had a hard time climbing up to get to the bed. The second bedroom mattress should be replaced - it sinks in the right, middle.
The view was nice, it was quiet.
My old college roommate from NC came and stayed with me for the week. It was nice and peaceful at this location, unlike other places I had stayed in the past which were always noisy with stomping kids overhead, screamers, etc. This smaller building, everyone got to know each other, friendly, really nice. The garage was a nice feature with our own space and garage door opener. Location is perfect. Walked everywhere. Cafes, bars, nice restaurants to choose from. Excellent vacation!
Absolutely loved the location. Can't beat pool and beach right there. Loved that we were able to rent the place with friends on the other side of the unit, but still have our own space. I will definitely consider staying here again and renting the building for family and friends.
Only negatives (small complaints): definitely needs some maintenance fixes, pool had some issues (low water, circulation, cloudy) and I never received any communication from host. I messaged to check in 30 minutes early and didn't get a response or any other response pre, during or post stay.
First of all, I can’t say enough about the view!!! It was amazing. The pool area was incredible and they had new pool furniture that was resort style. The spa was a huge added plus. We were across the road from a police station. So we felt really safe. My only complaint was we had no access from our deck to the pool area. However, the unit next to us did. So now I know! It’s a five star overall and makes for a perfect beach get away.

Amazing view
Some definite pluses and minuses. The view is great and we loved hanging out on the spacious balcony. The easy access to the beach and pool were great for our young kids.
As others have said, this older building has some definite wear and tear. The padded dining chairs need a deep clean, the beds are overly soft/lumpy, and the pool area could use routine tidying up/dusting sand from the pool chairs.
I knew some of these issues from others' reviews, so they were compromises i was willing to take. We won't be staying here next year, but would consider it again in the future.
We booked a trip about 2 days before going so we were lucky to find availability. The unit is overall nice and very clean. Its updated and has a beautiful view of the ocean. The only "slight" things that would make it better would be: new mattresses. They are old and need updated. They're not comfortable and bent all weird. The outside of the building looks kind of rough up close,and leading up to the unit its the same, but once your in the unit its very nice. Overall its a nice play and i would stay again.

Slightly Dysfunctional with great location
The location was really great and the view was wonderful. The response time from the host leading up to the trip was really not great. It seemed like there were a couple different people responding so I'm not sure why it took 4 days to respond.
The check-in process was stressful and the parking is a bit of a pain. My car was blocked in at several points throughout the stay.
As the other reviews say, the beds are horrible. One room was stiff as a board and the other had me and my husband rolling into each other.
If you know all this and want a beautiful view, this is a good spot. I'm not sure if we would book again.
This was our first time in the area and was so glad my family and I got this place. Beautiful view, clean and the access to the beach was perfect! Minor things need to be worked on such as the hot tub didn't work properly. My husband took lots of time trying to figure it out. The lack of supplies in the rental lacked. 1 garbage bag, 1 washcloth, 1 dishcloth, dull knife, no soap. Beds were ok...one bed had bricks under it as the frame was broken. The shower was bad, no water pressure and very hard to adjust temp. The caulking needs to be touched up. So minor things that could be fixed would make this place Top Notch!! But the view, location, deck, beach, pool all made up for it for the price.
Our stay was great. The unit was clean and had a personal elevator. The kitchen was lovely, but there were not enough forks or dinner glasses. There were only 3 beach towels and few bath towels. There is a gate on the balcony that restricts direct access to the pool and beach so we had to come and go through the front door.
The beach was footsteps from the pool and beautiful.
The bed closest to the entry, where the elevator opened, also housed the washer and dryer unit. The dryer took a very long time to dry (three or four cycles)
The bed in the ack bedroom was horribly! It was like there was a hole in the middle, like sleeping in a hammock….
We enjoyed our stay even if my husband slept on the couch because of the bed.
Management was very slow to respond to questions if they responded at all and were very abrasive and even accused us of taking the extra keys (everything was left where we found it) after we explained this, there was no further contact at all, no apology or anything.
I doubt I would consider staying again partly because of the lack of communication.

The View ! The rest was just ok.
The view was great. The host never responded to my emails/text. Property was to have HOT tub, it did but 78 deg. Host never responded to us asking for directions on use. Couches were horrible, the cushions were old and worn out, ended up with back ache. Cushions on outdoor furniture even worse. Also the deck furniture was at deck rail height so you could not see
" the View". The mattres in second bedroom could of held 20 gals of water in the hole in the middle of it. Daughter woke up with major neck ache. Kitchen was just equipped enough but no pizza cutter(essential equipment). In the checking out instructions they wanted us to clean the floors but both vacuums that were there were broke, so you had to try to sweep sand across a tile floor.(doesn't work well).Over all the view the view the view was nice. a little updating would go a very long way. The lack of communication was terrible. We left the place cleaner than it was when we arrived and did get our deposit back. Should get a refund for lack of hot tub and aggregation for no communication.
My kids and I stayed here for 2 nights as a little mini vacation before the holiday craziness starts. The location was amazing; you really can’t beat being right there on the beach! View was superb and the host was very responsive and kind. The condo balcony was large and lovely to relax on and the condo, overall was exactly as described.
Some of the PROS:
1. Pool was clean and inviting and hot tub was a great temp for us. Pool floaties were in abundance.
2. Great to be able to just walk right out on the beach; no crossing a road or anything.
3. Condo was very clean and had ample
Place to sit and eat either on the patio or inside.
4. Garage parking was awesome.
some CONS:
2. There were no bowls in the kitchen, like for cereal nor were the baking sheets for the oven. The bowl thing was just kind of odd lol; my kids used coffee cups for their cereal.
3. There was food left in the fridge from previous guests: annoying only because the check out time is strict apparently so cleaning lady has 6 hours to clean; but there’s no way something obvious like that would be overlooked if someone actually spent 6 hours cleaning.
4. There was a door connecting the 2 mid floor balconies; we woke up 1 morning and someone had come onto our balcony from the other suite. This was concerning because guests from that suite had very easy access to our balcony and that was a big safety issue for me. Host should put a dead bolt on their side.
Overall it was lovely tho!
We were looking for a comfortable and relaxing getaway. And we found it. The apartment was clean and, it was fully equipped. The building and the apartment needs some TLC. The bathroom needs to be renovated. The host was super attentive and was quick to answer all of our inquiries.One of the mattresses needs to be replaced. We did not use the pool. Overall a good experience.
Place is easy, accessible to the pool and beach. Its only 4 units, which gives way to lots of privacy. The views from the patio are amazing and makes perfect sunsets. For a small family, its great. I would recommend this place for sure.
