We took a family trip, getting our toddler together with his grandparents. Great fit for all of us. Perfect location, the ocean view from the balcony is great and it’s easy to run back and forth from the beach to the condo. We’d definitely stay again.

Awesome condo - will be back!

The condo complex was clean and well kept. Easy access to beach and within walking distance to multiple local restaurants and shops, very convenient! The condo unit itself was clean and the perfect setup for our family of 4 plus grandparents. The location at the corner of the building gave for amazing beach and ocean views! Also near stairwell on second floor so quick and easy access to the ground floor when we didn’t want to take the elevator. Overall a great experience and we plan to book this condo again in the future.
