Tima's review

We had an absolutely fantastic time staying at 2C beach house! From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect. The location is unbeatable-right on the beach, offering stunning views and easy access to the sand. We couldn't have asked for a better spot for our vacation. Jim was an amazing host, providing clear instructions that made check-in and our entire stay smooth and hassle-free. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better beach getaway. We highly recommend staying at Castaways 2C if you're looking for an enjoyable vacation right on the beach. - (Sep 2024)

Family Vacation

The condo was great inside the unit. Beds were comfy, lots of extra linens provided. All appliances in working order. The elevator is slow and not air conditioned. The exterior of the building could use some TLC. - (Jul 2024 - VRBO)

Great location and nice condo

Super convenient location! Walkable to several restaurants and shops. Loved that it wasn't a super huge highrise. The beach wasn't overly crowded and we never had to wait for the elevator. Also really nice that there was a box to donate beach toys/use them. Overall really liked the facility and would stay here again. - (Oct 2023 - VRBO)
