horrible stay
The condo smelled mold and nasty fabuloso when you open the door which also permeates into your luggage. The bed was super uncomfortable, with springs poking into our sides and backs and was super loud and squeaky,. The shower is so tiny a single adult can barely fit and the shower is not adjustable so my tiny teen was constantly sprayed in the face with no escape. floor was cracking and coming apart, walls were not fully painted, and don't even think about cooking in there. horrible. do not recommend and will never stay there again.

Low frills beach getaway
My partner and I absolutely loved our stay. The condo is as close to the beach as you can get and has all the essentials. We walked to a nearby bar and grill for some excellent sea food and spent most of our trip on the beach directly

Tropical Storm
We stayed during the recent tropical storm. Had really high tides, but we were lucky and did not flood. Beautiful location right on the beach! Needs a little updating for the price, but we enjoyed our stay. Need to be more forth coming with pet fees. Listing was vague about fees and costs. Cost an extra $220 for my two small pups that was charged after I booked and had already paid for my stay.

A great little retreat
We enjoyed 4 nights here. It is right on the beach and we had fun resting and playing. The dishes were dirty, a stair was broken and the bed squeaked so bad it was barely any sleep. The futon is really small and only space for one person. The management fixed the stair and apologized for the dirty dishes. No luck on sleeping though. The condo was otherwise clean and free of mold (often a problem at the beach). It was quite sufficient for our needs.

The beach access was perfect! Just steps from our door. The place was just big enough for the two of us! It was a little dated, however, and the stove was too small.
