This property is lovely and well done. The kitchen is well stocked with supplies. The location is great and the views are amazing. We had breakfast or dinner on the balcony each night and had the ocean waves as our backdrop. The fireworks kick off from the pier so you have a front row view every Friday and Saturday night. There is a beach chair and umbrella rental spot right on the beach so you don’t have to pack your own if you don’t want to. It’s also located right across the street from the turtle sanctuary, which was a treat and within walking distance of several great restaurants. We hope to be back soon. It was the much needed getaway we needed.

This property was spectacular!!! Ocean front with all amenities including an unbelievably stocked kitchen. Decorated beautifully and updated. The patio was an amazing place to watch the sunrise. Access to the beach was a bonus with entry gate that requires code and shower to rinse off. Very well insulated as there is a bar next door that we didn't even hear. Grounds were beautifully kept with a very nice pool. Location wise...close to everything and walking distance to a few beach bars. Contact and responses from Cheryl were great. Highly recommend as we will be back again!

I accidentally left with her pillow case. The bed linens need to be replaced and pillows too. We went to Wall Mart and bought new pillow cases to use. When I left I took one of hers by mistake. I need to know how to return it. She is outstanding with any concerns we had. The Toliet broke and she had a plumber there in 30 minutes. Kitchen well stocked. Furniture great! Deck furniture wonderful. We will go back!

Amazing stay, easy check in and great communication! The beachfront ocean views were absolutely breathtaking and we loved having balcony access from both the living room and bedroom. The condo was spotless and exactly as described. Extra comfy bed & lots of extra amenities (*only 2 rolls of t.p).Security was a huge plus!! They actively checked wristbands, monitored beach access, and enforced parking so there were always spots available. (It’s worth noting that if you are there during spring break Clayton’s and Louie’s nearby can get busy and a bit loud, but honestly, it wasn’t bothersome inside the condo at all. If anything, it added to the fun…we enjoyed the music and a little people-watching from the balcony!) Chairs, etc for the beach were a great bonus!We loved it so much we extended our stay and were so thankful that 208 was available. Overall, a great experience and we would definitely stay here again!
