Our vacation home is for people who like to treat themselves well. The luxury oceanfront condo offers you only the best. The unit is located directly on the white sandy beach, with incredible view of the ocean from the private balcony, living room, dining room, master suite and kitchen.

The unit was fully rebuilt to be the owners’ second home and as such, has much more to offer than a typical rental unit. It has a beautifully designed open layout. Come and enjoy your vacation in the luxuriously and elegantly designed and furnished condo, offering features, such as TVs in every room, wine cooler, modern bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen, stainless steel appliances, bamboo floors in bedrooms etc. The unit is also conveniently located close to the metropolitan area attractions, shopping and great restaurants.

Our beach is never crowded and brims with soft white sand. Water sports fan, here is your paradise, we have plenty of room for volleyball, kite flying, scuba, etc. Need to rest and relax and see unique sunsets while sipping cocktails, ask no more, our balcony is literally on the water. Mornings are spectacular, see the dolphins swim by as the majestic Pelicans glide serenely over the calm waters.

A great place to rent for family or couples This rental was exactly as presented in photos and description on VRBO. Very clean and equipped with everything one would need for a beach vacation. Towels and bedding were like new. New beach towels as well. Patio closet full of beach toys and accessories. Deck is perfect for watching the sunset. TVs set up with all the popular streaming services. Previous renters leave laundry, cleaning, sun screen and many other products. A plus in my book. Just loved everything about this place. Outside the unit, the grounds are kept up very nice. Clean pool and hot tub. Someone came every morning to ensure the pool area was all set up for the day. Great parking as well. Good location to restaurants too. I highly recommend this place and would definitely rent again
