We were disappointed when our usual cottage was unavailable, but ended up loving this condo. The pool was perfect for our kids in the evenings, and location is hard to beat. Lots of space; large, comfortable rooms. Friendly neighbors in the building. Will book again.

This property was great! Close to the beach and a lot of restaurants are all within in walking distance. Wineries and distilleries were just a short drive any direction. They had a fall fest in the downtown on Saturday that was a lot of fun. The place was super cute and very clean. The bedrooms were big and spacious and the gas fireplace in between the dinning/ living room was a nice feature. We absolutely enjoyed it here and are already talking about booking it again for next fall.
