Very clean but there was mold around the door and faucet in the master bathroom. The description read ground floor one reason I picked it as I have a senior dog. There were 6 steps then 6 more. My husband had to go back home after he got there with her. But we were refunded the pet deposit with no problem. I would definitely stay here again. Very quiet, the others there were nice, good location, good view

Perfect place to stay with a great view of the ocean from the balcony. Tim was extremely helpful throughout the trip and highly recommend this place to anyone! We had a storm come thru and had to leave a few days early due to coastal floods but Tim offered a refund without having to be asked which speaks volumes about how he treats his guests. We will definitely return in the future.

We have stayed here a few times in the past. My husband summarized it best, this place feels comfortable, like as if we were home. We enjoy staying here and Tim is always great to work with. The beach access is currently closed due to the erosion, but that did not stop my son from finding a play area and an open access location was not that far of a walk. Also, in October make sure to go to the pier’s pumpkin patch. We look forward to next year!

Not a bad place to stay. Just a couple of things I would change. The master shower was really small and was dirty when we got there but that was rectified immediately. The master bedroom was missing the remote to the fan so you couldn't have it on without the light being on. A dresser drawer was broken in there too. Remotes for TVs and other fans were in the wrong room and one of them didn't have batteries. Balcony was great to watch the ocean and spacious. Upgraded kitchen appliances were GREAT. Over all I would stay here again. The host was helpful and the issues were minor so we can't complain!

The location of this property is great! Your steps from the beach. The condo itself is nice. The balcony is nice but the carpet is old and needs to be changed. The kitchen is really small, cramped and only two people at time can be in there. You do need to bring your own linen’s, towel, chairs and pot holders because the kitchen did not have them. All in all this place was dog & kid friendly and a good location to stay.

Breath Taking Sunrises

Our stay was absolutely amazing. The property was clean and well furnished. There was plenty of room to lay out XL. Dog beds for our fur babies too. Everything we or could have wanted was within walking distance or a 5 minute drive. We suggest having dinner at Michael’s and Flaming Amy’s. The sunrises are worth getting up early for. The balcony has the perfect view to sit back and enjoy the morning. The beach and restaurants was surprisingly dog friendly.

Weekend getaway

We checked in on a Friday afternoon with no problem at all! The place was clean and quaint! We came with our dog and we could tell right away it was a dog friendly neighborhood which we were happy about! The bed was comfy and the living room was cozy as well with the balcony right off it. The kitchen was fully stocked and then some which was so convenient! Tim’s recommendations were spot on and made for a great trip for us even though it was short! Would definitely stay here if we visit again!

My family and I decided to get out of town together for Thanksgiving. The unit was very close quarters, which was not the way it was advertised. Previous people had stated kitchen was small but honestly overall the entire condo was very tight. Also stated in the reservation was a checklist of things to get done before departure, and the cleaning staff does a supposed great job and were the deciding factor on any extra fees that you would be charged. What we found just in kithen cabinets and the dishes, or cookware was dirty. In the back bedroom the box fan that was provided was so dusty it stirred up a small dust cloud.Before getting there the property manager was very responsive and fast with answers. Once we arrived I had messaged about the beach access because there were signs and a chain across the access point, he responded back the day we departed. The one thing we all liked about the place was the oceanfront balcony which was a great size to accommodate a family unlike the unit inside. The oceanfront part should have stated that it was limited because view was mostly blocked by sand dunes. Not to mention the floor had 2 very noticable sunk in soft spots, with several water spots in the ceiling. I love the beach and would not complain but i felt all these issues should be addressed. My suggestion would be fix the places in floor and ceiling, and follow up with your cleaning staff. Until anin.thesyodreaclees.

Beautiful Codo!

We absolutely loved the location. The place was very clean. The beds were comfortable and it was well decorated. The only recommendation I have is I would update the listing to state what type of coffee maker there is so people know what to buy in advance. We weren’t sure if we should bring pods or regular ground coffee.
