The best getaway from the hustle and bustle!

We arrived for a 3 night stay to a very clean and organized condo. Spacious enough for what you need and a beautiful patio right on the beach and above the pool. The condo has everything you need. Appliances were of good quality and everything worked perfectly. Will definitely stay again!

Great place and great location

The condo was very nice and looked to be recently remodeled. It was very clean and right on the beach. The views from the living room and balcony were fantastic. The owner was responsive and easy to contact. It was great finding an oceanfront place that was dog friendly. I would definitely stay here again if I'm in the area.

Nice Condo

You can tell this Condo has been updated and decorated. A short walk to the beach. We really enjoyed our stay here. Terry’s Vacation Rental Company is definitely a good rental company to use. We had an issue when we first got there and as soon as I contacted her, I received an answer right back. They really work with you and made sure everything is as it should be. Thanks for everything.

Summer Vacation

It was a fantastic experience from the beginning to end! The property manager was always quick to respond! They were very gracious and helpful! We arrived a little early and the manager was quick to respond. They quickly checked to see if the condo was clean and if we could check early! This was such a God send because we have been traveling over 10 hours with a English Mastiff! He was ready to stretch! I can’t say enough about how incredible the experience was! Thank you!
