Great family oriented place to stay. We stayed in a 2 bedroom ground level condo in the fall and it was pretty quiet. Very clean units. Lots of outdoor activities to do in the area (within 30 mins). Staff was very accommodating and polite. View is amazing with a 2 minute walk to the water. The property is smaller than I imagined but that turned out to be a good thing. Everything is within walking distance on the property. No restaurant on site but lots of options in the area very close by. Would stay here again.

Overall the property is quite nice and the views are amazing. It was nice and quiet in the evening. Beautiful view of the sunrise from the deck in the morning. The only thing I would change is add air conditioning, more comfortable beds and maybe a common use grill for the units that didn’t have one.
Stayed here August 12-14 with 4 adults and 1 teenager. Very nice view of the ocean, close to the pool. Very clean, comfortable, well appointed and beautifully decorated suite.
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.
Gorgeous views with beach access. Great for families and great location. Friendly helpful front desk. Clean and well stocked kitchen. Spacious rooms and had been updated. Loved and would be back.
Wonderful and well priced ocean front. Comfortable rooms for a home away from home.

Great location. Only issue for us was a bit noisy first night with multiple families and children right outside are unit making constant noise. Thnoisiest ones left next day and was much more peaceful. Luck of the draw. Beautiful beach clean well equipped unit
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.
