Serena's review

Shavonne's review
This is a great place to stay! First impression was how clean the place was and how clean it smelled. The view of the ocean was great and there are several places to eat within walking distance. We loved Lauria's across the street. Be sure to check it out! We also liked that the facility is only 3 floors. There is shaded parking under the building available. I would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone & I already have! We would love to stay here again! Great place!! - (Jun 2025)

Perfect vacation
Condo was just as described. Comfortable beds, big enough condo for a family of five (3 boys 10-14yrs old). You can't get much closer to the beach too! Amazing view, clean and you can walk to gift shops, restaurant's and party stores. My only complaint has NOTHING to do with the condo or owners and hopefully won't happen on your trip, but every morning at 4:30am we were woke up by the revving of a garbage truck, its back up alarm and the loud sound of the neighboring buildings dumpster being pushed out of the building, dumped then pushed back into the building! So maybe bring some ear plugs or run a fan while you sleep. Again, I wouldn't let that stop me from renting again, just be prepared that's all. I'd 100% come back to this condo. - (Mar 2024 - VRBO)

Great condo
Location couldn't be better. Easy walk to beach. Elevators, carts and parking were great. The condo itself was nice, but was missing some basic kitchen items. Always bring everything you need and dont expect things like toilet paper, garbage bags, kitchen scissors, etc. Condo was nice enough, and no complaints. Just missing a little extra..
Hi Lance, many updates have taken place since you last stayed! We always provide start-up amenities like a roll of paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap, and trash liners. We supply a things to remember to bring list with every reservation. Hope to see you back! - (Jul 2023 - VRBO)
