Great location! Beach access is right across the street - parking lot is the only thing between the condo and the beach so you can see the ocean from the balcony. Public beach access is also on the Boardwalk so easy walk to the rides, etc. Beds are comfortable. Communication was quick and efficient.

Great place to stay

Location was perfect, the beach is just across the street, along with a taco restaurant (food was really good) and a convenient store. The condo was clean and nice very well stocked with essentials and extras. My only complaint was the bathroom shower in the main bedroom was so so small l could barely turn around and the fixtures were old. Other than that, I would recommend.
