You cannot beat the view at this beachfront property. Access to the beach (walkway through the dunes) was only two houses down. It was nicely decorated and had a wonderful big deck in front where we spent most of our time. It is a family friendly beach but quiet at night. It was very clean except the soft goods- the carpets and upholstered furniture need a good deep cleaning. We had a small plumbing issue but the management company was very responsive. Overall pleased with our stay. We miss the sound of the waves.

Great property! Well kept. The only small issue we had is they have a NEST thermostat with presettings and we would find ourselves adjusting it as it would always go back to the presetting every couple of hours. Minor inconvenience, but otherwise the property was fabulous!

Great location! Kitchen has everything you need. Primary bedroom was large enough to use 2 pack-n-plays and still have plenty of room. The primary bathroom did have an issue with the shower not working well and on the second day some ants were in the kitchen. We kept all food items off of the counters and in the refrigerator so the ants couldn’t get in them. We notified the property managers so hopefully they will take care of that. Otherwise it was very clean and comfortable. The deck was great in the evening because the sun had moved behind the house and had a wonderful breeze. We enjoyed eating there and enjoyed the view. We would definitely stay here again.
