It was like we had our own condo at the beach. Lots of room and a beautiful setting. Easy walk to 2 great restaurants. Sitting on the patio was such a pleasure. We got to swim in the pool and the ocean. We were there when it was hot so our only complaint was the fan in the living room needed to be replaced. The bedrooms were cool with fans. Definitely we will stay there again.

A true gem!
This is a true gem! So quiet, so peaceful, so clean. We highly recommend the one bedroom ground floor walk out with unobstructed view of the ocean. Breathtaking views. Stang at the front desk was so helpful - everything was perfect.

I liked this property so close to beach access for daily walks while tide was out and in. It was easy access as we had a car rented. The pool was not yet open and would have been inconvenient if we had our grandchildren with us. it had a well stocked kitchen, good TV to watch play off hockey and front desk restocked items as we ran out ie. coffee,filters,toilet paper,garbage bags
