#1 Vacation we have taken

We absolutely enjoyed our stay! Was so glad there were less people at our location on the beach! We choose somewhere different each year, but definitely recommended this location to others♥️

Great beach front spot for families.

Loved this place and the location. Which I would’ve found out sooner that there is a fresh seafood seller almost right across the street. Great family environment and super quiet. Definitely coming back

Clean, Comfortable, and Easy Beach Access

Everything about the condo was great. The king bed and pillows were super comfortable. Beach access is great. Would recommend the owners posting the HOA Management number so when issues arise you know who to contact for immediate issues.

World Series Trip

The property was small for us with a toddler, but it was a nice place to stay and had everything we needed. One small inconvenience, you cannot use the washer and dryer at the same time and was a little small for 5 us (one being a messy toddler). Otherwise, it was a great place to stay and we would book again.

Cozy place

Nice , clean, cozy place for my family of four. The only negative thing I would say about this place is that there needs to be more cooking utensils and pans. That being said most people may not cook as much as we do on vacation.

Good Condo

Its small but clean. It was as advertised so nothing bad to say really. We usually prefer an ocean view so that was the only disappointment but we knew that going into it. Its in a good spot on the beach and on the strip. Close to a lot of restaurants and hangout spots. Parking was tight for a truck but it worked. Thanks for the fun week!

Very clean small place

Kudos to the cleanliness of the unit. Small but sufficient. It is listed as beachfront but, the buildings sit sideways and you cannot see the beach until you walk to the end of the building. It was easily accessible to get to the beach but it would not be handicap accessible. No elevators, only stairs. It was fine.

Janosko Family Vacation

Great place to stay! Price was very reasonable. Right on the beach. I just wish it would have had a dishwasher. That's my only complaint. We had such an amazing time and there was stores close by to get snacks and other things.
