Our neighborhood is like a friendly secret, a haven of tranquility with a touch of convenience.

Green house
House was nice. Nice layout. One issue was stairs to get in location. 3 flights. House could have been cleaner. There were 7 of us and only 1 towel and wash cloth per person so we had to do laundry. The host was great. Any issues or questions we had were answered promptly.

Great location and friendly host!
Here's a sample review for a beach condo with those features: 1. **Location**: The condo is right on the water, providing breathtaking views of the bay from the balcony and living areas. The beach is just steps away, making it incredibly convenient for sunbathing, swimming, or enjoying a leisurely stroll along the shore. 2. **Cleanliness**: The condo was impeccably clean upon arrival. The housekeeping staff clearly takes pride in their work, as every corner of the unit was spotless. The fresh linens and well-maintained furniture added to the overall sense of comfort and luxury. 3. **Customer Service**: The customer service was top-notch. From the moment we booked the condo to the end of our stay, the staff was friendly, responsive, and attentive to our needs. Any questions or requests we had were promptly addressed, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience. 4. **Amenities**: The condo is well-equipped with all the modern amenities one could need. The kitchen had all the necessary appliances and utensils for preparing meals, and the living area was cozy and perfect for relaxing after a day at the beach. High-speed Wi-Fi, a large flat-screen TV, and comfortable beds made our stay even more pleasant.

Great choice
The house was wonderful. I cannot say enough about Tim and Vanessa's warm welcome. They took the time to call the morning of check in and made me feel like I did not need to worry about a think. They also went out of their way to help me look for a fishing charter. I do a lot of rentals and they went above and beyond any other experience. Thank you both and the next time we come to the area I will certainly look you up.

Nice get away
Renting was easy. The condo was nice. The only thing was, I never noticed that it was a 3rd floor unit. We are in our mid 70s and my husband has a bad knee. We were ok cause we didn't go up & down the stairs frequently, but we might have if the weather had been better. Also, it was difficult to find cause the address was not visible.

This condo was amazing! Very clean and loaded with everything from beach towels to all kitchen utensils! Beds were comfortable. Just get ready to walk up some stairs when loading and unloading your car but other than that everything was great! The balcony was spacious with 4 chairs and a table, very relaxing! We were very impressed! Ms. Vanessa communicated promptly with me and was very friendly and courteous! 5 stars for us!
