Great location and property with a very responsive host! Having the pool right outside the condo was wonderful. The beds weren’t the most comfortable and the unit could use a deep clean but it was well stocked with lots of extras to use at the beach.

Great Location and Value

We've stayed at this complex several times over the years, and this unit is definitely one of the best. First and foremost, Bob and Lillian were fantastic hosts—easily the most accommodating we've ever had. The beds were comfortable, and the home was spotless and nicely furnished. Being on the first floor and so close to the pool was a huge advantage, and the short walk to the beach made it even better. Without a doubt, we'll be staying here again.
