From the moment we got there it went smooth. We received a call from the property manager shortly after we arrived. Asked if we had any questions and also gave us some recommendations for places to eat. The building itself is a little older, but the character of the house and pool yard was beautiful. We will definetly stay again.

We were there for a long weekend stay so not long. The location was great - close to the beach. Very nice that the unit has a dedicated parking space. The pool was was very nice. We typically don’t use a pool, but we were in this one a few times. It was kept clean and is heated. The unit itself was as described in the photos and description.

Our second visit to this property. We love that we are at ground level and can enjoy the pool before we make a short stroll to the beach. You are in the heart of town but feel like you have landed in a real neighborhood.
