The room was super cute and very clean. We enjoyed the pool, and the condo had everything we needed. There were just 2 of us, and it was just the right size. It was a short walk across the road to the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The only reason I did not give a full 5 stars, and it is not necessarily the host’s fault, was that we had upstairs neighbors that were very noisy and sounded like they were about the fall through the floor at any moment. This went on even around 11pm when we were trying to sleep. We had no other issues, however. The parking spots were pretty tight, so if you have a larger vehicle, you may have issues parking, but a smaller SUV or a sedan is fine. We would definitely stay here again because it was very clean, a convenient location, and a very cute condo!

Easy access to the center of town and the beach Property is well kept and pet friendly so our four-legged children can visit, too. Nice clean pool. The unit has a queen-size bed, a fold- down couch, very nice appliances in the kitchen, washer and dryer in the bathroom which is very nice.

We rented this unit because we were interested in buying another unit in this complex. The location was perfect, close to everything, directly across the street from the beach. Super cute little getaway.
