Fun in the sun

Place was clean, I think the hot water heater could be turned down a lil, because u couldn't turn the water very high, because the water would be to hot and not enough water pressure. Other then that it was a very enjoyable stay. Thank you Dianna Brummett

We definitely will be back

So we ended up having to call the owner of the property and she was very nice and told us exactly where to go. The place looks so nice. There is also games that you can play and brochures of different places that you can go which helped us out a lot since we are not from the area. I definitely will be recommending this place..

Nice condo close to beach

The complex is nice...a bit on the older side but well maintained. We had a few small.jssues with cleanliness of our unit but nothing major. Bathtub had hairs and a used razor in it. Floors appeared swept but new white socks were black within minutes. Quiet and fine for our needs. We liked having free beach setup. Didn't visit any pools as we went to beach each day. major.

Pleasantly happy

Only thing i didnt like was it was way back at the back of the property. No extra trash bags no salt and pepper or condiments. Other than that it was alright except that it also needs the living room furniture replaced.

Perfect Location

Great location in a very cute condo. Felt very safe and everything was perfect with lots of considerate items (hotel style shampoo and conditioner and even aloe in bathroom!). Marked cleanliness a 4/5 because there were some pretty big dust bunnies and some sand on the floor but we're near the beach so that's probably impossible to avoid!

Amazing place to stay!

Amazing! Diane was so helpful! She gave us good recommendations on where to eat and we were able to check in early! The place is very nice and clean and well equipped with everything you need. A beach caddy to carry everything, umbrella, chairs, small coolers, etc. Instead of walking we were able to drive about 2 min and park in a private parking area right on the beach which was better than walking because it’s so hot. Definitely would come back!!
