Great Getaway
This location and condo were amazingly perfect, even with running into some issues. The water in the shower, when turned to “H” (for hot), was freezing. The property manager, Kris, had amazing communication. Once I reached out they had a Plummer at the condo within a couple of hours. Come to find out, the water lines are backwards (H is actually cold and C is actually hot).
Other than that the only minor issue was that the toilet paper holders in both bathrooms was very, very lose. Everything else was perfect; plenty of pillows, towels, blankets, etc.!
5/5 stars and would stay here again :)

Wish we could've stayed longer
Condo was roomy, clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. Walking distance to two great seafood restaurants. It's in the east building which has a better boardwalk (fewer stairs) to the beach than the west building. The beach is a short walk through the parking garage, across the pool deck, and across the boardwalk.
