We had 2 adults, 3 teenage girls and 2 dogs. The condo was prefect for us. It was very close to the beach access and had everything we needed. We definitely would come back!

Perfect Place for Family Getaway
This place was located perfectly near the beach you can hear and see it from the porch. The boardwalk is also walking distance making the beach access very quick and easy. Great space and room. Clean and comfy. We made amazing memories here and will come back again! The owner, Lisa is super nice and quick to reply to any questions or needs.

Except for the people in the other unit whose kids were running and jumping in the upstairs unit until after midnight every night, the stay was enjoyable. Glad we dont live in an apartment.

The property has a great location. We did have trouble with a bathroom door not opening from the inside. Also if someone has trouble with stairs this place isnt for you as there are many steps to axcess. A good selection of dishes and kitchen supplies. Will stay here again
