Our stay was fantastic. Its a cute place with a view of the ocean. The one detractor was that it could have been cleaned a little better,cas there was dog hair on the couch and floor.

Excellent beach access.
Wonderful condo located close to beach access. Clean, comfortable beds. Perfect for a couple or small family. We already booked our next stay!
Stayed here for a quick weekend escape from reality. Place was clean and comfortable. Perfect location for what we needed. Would definitely book again.

Beach stay
Our second time here. Great location and some nice improvements from last year
Floors could have been cleaner and a screen door would be nice on the patio
Otherwise great!
Great location, great apartment. The pictures don't do the apartment justice.

Nice and close to the beach
The proximity to the beach was priceless plus you could see the ocean from the balcony. The condo overall was really nice. Just a few things that could use attention but nothing was a deal breaker by any stretch. We appreciated the starter kit and decent towels and sheets. We would definitely book this condo again.
Very happy with our stay! Super close to the beach access. Great to be able to bring the fur babies with us. The cleaning crew must have had the door open before we arrived because there were flies everywhere in the condo. Had to go purchase fly swatters right away to get rid of them.
Also the super long door code was a bummer every time we had to open the door. Try a shorter one since it gets changed with every rental!
Enjoyed ourselves greatly.

Perfect for when traveling with a pet
A sweet place - Tastefully decorated, the little travel welcome pack was a nice touch. Also liked that there were accounts for Netflix, Prime, Max, etc., already loaded on the television so we didn't have to dig out passwords. Some of the dishes were a little worn and/or broken, but I like to cook, so for those who don't plan to, this is a minor inconvenience. There was a pet odor when we walked in, but otherwise the place was clean, and we used candles which helped mask the smell. Since it is pet friendly, it didnt bother us much. Excellent location, very quiet. For our early Spring visit, it worked out quite well.

Nice Little Place and Location
We stayed for a couple nights on a mini vacation and we had a great time. The location was perfect for us with two little dogs. The condo was comfortable and clean. I did communicate back and forth with Vacasa which was a little tricky. The description on the website and also a sign was posted in the condo that beach essentials were accessible including beach chairs. One reason why we didn’t bring ours. However, after multiple emails back and forth the chairs were not included. We went and bought our own but had we known we would’ve taken ours. Only recommendation would be to update this information in the description and in the condo for future renters. Otherwise, our stay was perfect and will return.
The location was definitely nice right next to the beach. Keep in mind you are no where close to the boardwalk. I may not have noticed in the picture that the one queen sized bed was up against a wall. I had to crawl into bed as my spouse was already asleep on the side that you can get in and out easily. Also had to crawl out when I had to get up at night which is not ideal. The living room was great. Love the big couch. TV stations were weird and I couldn’t for the life of me find a volume control. We had to strain at times to hear the TV. Overall for a weekend stay it was nice. Not thrilled about the 10:00 check out after a late 4pm check in just be aware.
Floor was filthy. The first thing husband did was sweep the food off the kitchen floor. Could not walk around barefoot. Yuck! Sand under and in sofa. Don't even want to tell you about bathroom floor that opens up into the kitchen. I can say the location was good being the end unit with beach access across the street. Oh, and cigarette butts greeted us on the balcony.
Had a great stay here over the Christmas holidays. The apartment is very clean and comfortable, nicely appointed and conveniently located near my sister's home.And having the unit provide towels and bed linens saved us from lugging more items. Bringing 2 dogs was already enough!Would defintely rent again!!!
We had the best week with our daughter and pups! Cannot beat the location!

Great beach access
This apartment is a good little stay. It is basic, not luxury, but a great location for access and proximity to the beach. Very much appreciate the allowance of pets. The porch was a perfect perch for my poodle to watch the world go by - and it was an active area!

My room did not overlook the beach and I had to go out of my way to see the beach, which was OK but I decided not to bring my dogs because I knew they would drive me crazy because they love the beach so I will take them back another time
