Loved this condo. The remodel is nice! The hooks for all of the towels and bathing suits are so convenient. We had a wonderful time. A portion of the other units were under construction and the pool and spa were not available but we still had a great time. Can’t wait to go back.

Very enjoyable stay with shops, restaurants, & coffee shops within walking distance. Just steps off the beach with an ocean view from the deck. Sunsets were amazing! There's a nice walking area through the salt marsh nearby. We were there off-season which was enjoyable for us.

This was a bright, modern, clean condo. The only noise at night was the crashing of the waves. The access to the beach was so close and easy! The balcony was a nice spot to have coffee in the morning with a view of the ocean, and we enjoyed reading out there in the afternoon. Would stay there again!

Lovely place in a lovely town!! Well decorated, well stocked kitchen, perfect location within walking distance of everything. We loved our stay. I had to call management for one thing and they immediately answered and dealt with it at that moment, which is phenomenal. I only took one star off for cleanliness bc the provided fans were absolutely scummy so we didn’t use them. Made it pretty hot to sleep at night. Otherwise, great place. Of note: I would not take children to this beach. There is a large natural tar pit right next to it and the tar is in the sand on the beach. Not a big deal for us bc we just walked and sat in the sun but kids would get covered in the stuff. The rental company provided the stuff to clean it off which was awesome.

The place was clean. The location was good. The place was ok. We arrived late, like 10pm and unpacked and went to bed. Top Sheet on one twin bed was missing (in the room with two twin sized beds). The place was so hot from being closed up it was hard to sleep. There was a broom, but no dustpanThey said there would be a drying rack to put out on the balcony to dry our bathing suits and towels ….could not locate one.The worst thing was the furniture, it was all very uncomfortable…the beds the mattresses etc… the quality was poor, seemed very flimsy. None of us slept well. The chairs for the dining table looked like chicken wire and felt like sitting on chicken wire.

Great location
The place was very clean. It had everything we needed.Very comfortable.Beach within 3 minute walk. Once we parked our car wenever used it again. Everything in walking distance. I would rent this place again for sure.We did get frustrated with the Casago sign in procedure.We literally had 9 emails back & forth. Sending copies of drivers license and photos -the site wasn't working and calling the number leaving messages. We didn't get the code to enter or the apartment # literally until about 20 minutes before time. It was frustrating. However, I do completely understand that sending a picture of your drivers license and a photo of yourself is for security reasons.

Nice condo just a block off the beach. Perfect for walking the trails along the coastline and to coffee and restaurants in Carp. Bring beach/pool towels because there are none provided. We used both bedrooms and the pull out bed in the living room (which had never been used) and our group of 5 did fine for a short stay. It was nice to have two bathrooms (one upstairs and one down).

Great location.
The condo was fine, however the WiFi was very poor, even with regular reboots. We were also locked out for about 30 minutes when our pass number suddenly stopped working! I would need to know that the WiFi was much better to rent again. Also, I expected to hear back from the manager after we were locked out and never got a call or apology! Too bad.

Perfect Chill Beach Getaway
My family of four thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The condo was clean, new, and so close to the beach. We walked to everything we needed (groceries, restaurants, ice cream, surf shop) and took strolls along the beach. Multiple other beaches with surfable waves were a short drive away. Communication with the owners was great. Check in and out was seamless. It really was perfect. Highly recommended.
