This property was perfect for us oldies. We enjoyed the pool and the beach a lot, and were also happy to have 2 TV's so we could each choose our favorite shows. The kitchen is well equipped and the grocery stores are nearby. There are also lots of dining possibilities nearby. We were happy to have the laundry there as well, so we didn't have to bring too many clothes.

Perfect location! Loved being right on the beach and the pool was delightful. Nicely stocked and Jenny was wonderful and very responsive.
8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2020
I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the condo! I decided very last minute to book the unit and work from there (I'm working from home during the COVID crisis) and it was the perfect place to do just that. Jenny is extremely easy to work with and communicate with when needing anything or with any questions. The location cannot be beat and is literally steps from the beach (nice to wake up to a view of the beach every morning!). The unit is equipped with anything and everything you need. My only two "less than five star" comments are 1) the unit was clean but I had to vacuum the first day upon arrival after finding long hair(s) throughout the condo which wasn't a great welcome and 2) the wifi situation isn't quite ideal as the internet router is in the adjacent condo unit which is owned by Jenny. While not her fault at all, the internet did go out probably 5-6 times during my stay which wasn't ideal considering I was working from the unit and on conference calls and webinars all day long. Each time, I had to go next door and reset the router which wouldn't have seemed like such a task had the router been in this actual unit. That being said, however, I would absolutely return and rent the condo again!!! I enjoyed the stay and hope to be back in the future.
6 / 10Average·Apr 2026
Great , GREAT location right on a quiet beach . Older unite with outdated decor. The sliding door is very difficult (VERY DIFFICULT) to open and close . She shower is outdated and the tile is falling off. The only bed was to small as a double bed . Not a queen size bed. Definitely needs a new shower head and a garbage disposal that works. Pool temperature was perfect. Pickleball court was good but no shuffleboard as they advertised. As a whole I give it a 6.5 out of 10. You can tell the unite was under water by all the dirt in the sliding door track. We literally had to vacuumed the door track every 2 days.
