Great location

Great location for a family trip and a quick walk across the road to the public beach access. Although, not super clean and did not have some of the necessary items to stay at this place (i.e. parking pass), overall was a great stay and good location. One thing though, my mother and father stayed right upstairs and was 10x as nice and clean. Would likely stay at this place again!

Ideal spot and comfortable

Super place with easy access to the beach. Condo is in good condition and had a small need for maintenance and property company responded quickly and fixed the trouble immediate (shower drain). Will be visiting next year & booking here.

Great vacation!

We really enjoyed our stay! Even though the beach was across the street, it was still easily accessible and just a short walk. The ocean water was the clearest that I have ever seen and the sand was so soft and fluffy. The pool was clean and we didn’t have to share it with a ton of people. The condo was clean and had everything we needed. We will definitely be back for a return trip.

Wedding weekend

Our daughter got married on the Saturday of our stay. The rehearsal and wedding was at the beach directly across the street, so it was very useful to just be across the street for a few older family members to be able to wait until right before the wedding. It was a great place with beautiful views.

Great condo with ocean views

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great condo located on old scenic highway 98 with views to the ocean on the left and right. Perfect place for our 5 person family. Unit comes with beach equipment, toys, umbrellas, chairs, etc. the unit is on the second floor and is in front of the pool. Access to the unit is in the back parking lot and there is no elevator, just stairs. Unit was clean and did the job as the majority of our time was exploring and being at the beach.

Great stay!

We have stayed in this condo before. It’s an easy walk to the beach. The only issue we had was the app didn’t update with the correct pool code so we were having to ask other guests for the code. The main bed is also really uncomfortable. The owners have made some nice updates with the other furniture in the room. I would suggest fixing the balcony door because it was hard for us to get it to work. We look forward to staying again!

Beach stay

The property was nice and a very short walk to the beach. The bedding was super comfortable especially after a long day on the beach. The convenience of the pool was wonderful. The only struggle was there was very limited cleaning amenities without purchasing your own. There was one trash bag provided in the kitchen and I did not want to purchase a case of trash bags. My other concern was the shower curtain was moldy. Over all the stay was fine.

Cable company were changing out boxes in the Condos and it would have been nice to have been informed about that before hand. Drains in bathroom sink and tub did not drain well at all. Beach chairs were old and rusty and needs to be replaced. Location was perfect and overall the stay was ok.

Great Stay with easy booking

Property was very nice and as described. Booking was very easy and communication was amazing. Very close to all major events in the area and steps to beach. We felt safe and secure at this property. We stayed on the 2nd floor with no elevator but it wasn’t bad. Parking was easy and lot was well lit with easy access to dump trash as well as take shower after the beach. The outdoor furniture is ready to be updated but interior was clean and accommodating. The management company was on point for everything from check in to check out. Plus they provided beach chairs and toys for the littles. Saved us from having all that in tow. Thank you for a wonderful week!

Great property across from the beach and nice views of the ocean.

Loved our stay. The condo was well equipped and well maintained. Rated this a 4 because: Did not receive our code via the app so had to make many calls and texts to get to the right person. It was 7pm so this was an oversight on the management’s part. The ice maker was not working and no ice trays so had to go buy ice. TV remotes barely worked - could be low batteries. Light over stove did not work. Would be nice if coffee filters were provided since only needed a few for our stay. But we would stay there again. Especially with the issues above addressed. Thank you!
