Another great stay
This is our second time staying at Chris’ place and we had a great visit once again! The condo is fully equipped with all you need for a family vacation including games, DVDs, beach toys (the kids enjoyed the shovel, buckets, and boogie boards!), as well as everything you might need in the kitchen.Great location, lovely pool and grounds, just a short walk to the beach. We will be back. Thank you, Chris!

Excellent rental experience
We really enjoyed our stay. The condo was very comfortable and clean. It was equipped with a lot of games and movies and a well-enough equipped kitchen to meet our needs. Each room had multiple tower fans along with very good AC to help us keep cool during the hot days. The balcony was relaxing and gave us a peek of the ocean and overlooked the enormous pool which had great live music on the Saturday night that we were there. The unit isn’t exactly oceanfront, but close—the beach is a short walk. The only negative was that several inches of sand from the dunes had blown onto a section of the boardwalk, making what should be an easy walk to the beach, especially with a wagon, a little more difficult. This can’t be controlled by the owner, but it should be addressed by the condo complex. Sunrise walks on the beach were stunning!

Our July stay
Overall, we enjoyed our stay at this condo. The outdoor grills and picnic areas are a nice touch. We didn't get a chance to play pickleball because of the rain. Please note that there is only a coin-operated laundry room - there is not a set up in the condo. The laundry room is located right across the parking lot from the condo. No elevators. Only stairs to the 2nd floor condo - just something to keep in mind. It's a good idea to bring your own beach chairs and umbrella as noted. There are a few rental places. There is ONE at entrance 0 and 6. It's best to book ahead if you don't plan to bring your own beach chairs and umbrellas. The condo area is quiet. The condo itself is really nice and love the patio area. The kitchen is well-equipped. The rooms and bathrooms are nicely decorated and provide a lot of bath towels and toilet paper. Thank you!
