Best Oceanfront - Walls of windows on famous surf and sunset, 2BR/2BA, A/C

10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful time at the Best Ocean front! The floor to ceiling windows were great and we watched the surfers every day either from the kitchen table or the lanai! We all loved sitting on the lanai and listening to the waves. The beds were very comfortable and relaxing. The host was quick to respond and we'd love to return.Carol, Mark, and Caleb"

10/10 Excellent
"What an amazing home away from home. The views were worth every penny, the host was very responsive, the rooms were comfortable, kitchen stocked with everything needed. Host made sure unit was stocked with beach chairs, snorkeling gear, and games. If I’m blessed to enjoy another trip there, this will be the first place I try to book. Being able to walk out every day and see the amazing sunsets and feel the waves along with easy walk to Beach House restaurant or a quick drive to the stores and coffee shop was so worth it."

"This Condo is in an excellent location and is well provisioned with beach gear. Which is great because the beach is within walking distance. There’s everything you need for a comfortable stay and the lānai overlooks a beautiful courtyard garden and pool. Be on the watch for an evening show right at dusk when hundreds of rose-ringed parakeets dive into the trees for their evening roost."
