Great location

The condo was very clean, and had everything you needed. The condo was in a great location for walking to just about anything you want. Beautiful views from the balcony. The beds were very comfortable. The owners are very responsive if you need anything. The kids were disappointed the pool heater was broken all week, but there is nothing the owners could do about that.

Relaxing and refreshing

This get away was an amazing blessing for us. We had an awful experience with hurricane Helene in NC lost some friends in the storm. And we were able to get away from the devastation for a few days. The owners of the rental were very gracious,and good to my family. A great vacation spo.

A most excellent spot in a great famiky location

The condo was in a great spot, corner unit overlooking the dunes, beach, gulf and pool. High enough for an unobstructed view (4th floor), yet low enough for a short elevator ride/wait.

Wonderful Condo/Unit

This is a beautiful, clean condo in a great location. Being on the corner with extra windows and light on the side was great. We loved that the owners provided enough basics like dishwasher & laundry detergents and bathroom supplies that we didn't need to buy any or resort to hand-washing dishes all week. The included beach chairs, umbrellas and toys were a nice addition as well. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone.

Spectacular view!

This corner unit feels very open with all of the windows on the west side. The wraparound balcony was awesome! The beach and pool were only steps away! The kitchen was well stocked with everything you would need to make many great meals. It was very clean and the check out process was easy. After a super hot day of activities it was so refreshing to come back to a nicely cooled room! We will definitely be back!!
