Facilities and Location were great. We were able to cook several meals. Sleeping accommodations also great. I think the biggest drawback would be the internet. We did have several young kids that like to watch their tablets at night or even watch tv, but the speeds were way to slow for multiple devices to be running at the same time.

wonderful location on beach, nice property, clean....only issue is the towels for shower bathroom use. They were horrible- small, rough, and very few of them. (we knew to bring our own beach towels) we had to go to walmart and buy us some decent cheap towels to use.....As long as you know to bring your own washing towels- you are in for an enjoyable stay.

Wonderful Stay

My best friend and I came from CA and absolutely loved our condo there. It was clean, adorably decorated, peaceful, spacious, and had a stunning view. Everything we needed was already stocked. From booking it, to checking in, and leaving, it was all very easy. Thank you! We look forward to returning next year!!

Needs alot of TLC

The view is amazing and the beach was at your fingertips. The house is in need of repair. Floors are warped and need replacing. There are gaps in the floor. Washer and dryer are very loud. We had a great time just needs a little fixing.
