Ground Floor Luxury - Your choice of 2 Bikes or Kayak Rental - Steps to Beach
The condo was just beautiful! It was clean and welcoming. We enjoyed relaxing on the deck and the short walk to the beach. The bed was very comfortable, and our host even provided beach chairs. We stayed for 2 weeks and wish we could have stayed 2 more. Really one of the best VRBO rentals.
