The best summer I've ever had!
Honestly... there's not enough nice words for my stay here. First of all, the condo is in THE BEST location, with a quick 15-20 min walk to the beach. <---that beach being WAY less crowded than other beaches in the area! Secondly, the condo itself is beautiful and has everything you need! And if you need anything that isn't there, the host is happy to help! <--- Which brings me to point #3, Brandon and his wife are the sweetest people ever and went above and beyond during my 2.5 month stay here! I was only supposed to stay for 2 months but extended an extra 2 weeks because I couldn't bare to leave!

The location was excellent for me.
I am form the UK on a work assignment and the location and complex was idea, where as the near by road net work gave me access to where I needed to get to for work and social. The complex is quite with facilities to chill out at. E.G. Pool and hot tubs. The information provide by the property owner is accurate. What you see is what you get. Over all this apartment worked very well for me. I would come back.

Incredible property and host!
While repairs were being done in our home, we stayed here for 1.5 months and hated to leave! The furnishings are gorgeous and even the bedding is phenomenal! Super clean and truly every detail has been thought of! The European shower fixture and water pressure were outstanding....felt like a 5 star hotel! The welcome basket of goodies and flowers were the cherry on top - this host goes out of their way to make you feel like a VIP! We also very much appreciated the sanitizer, wipes, and disinfectant spray provided. Cannot say enough good things about this property and host...would stay again in a heartbeat! Thank you for everything!

Great Experience
The process was easy from beginning to end. The condo was pristine and welcoming… a bottle of cold champagne, crackers, cheese, nuts.. a beautiful bowl of fresh fruit greeted me. Oops.. I almost forgot the dark chocolate bar. It was the most delightful surprise! I spent two weeks and it felt like home. While I was there I had the opportunity and pleasure of meeting the owners… And they are a pleasure to rent from. I definitely recommend renting this condo!!

Amazing property!
We can't say enough about our month long stay at this property. The property is meticulously maintained and the owners are very responsive if you have any questions. It's a short walk to the beach (about 20 minutes each way on a lovely golf course), is close to everything you could possibly need and very quiet. We highly recommend staying at this property.

A fabulous Home-away-from-Home!
I cannot say enough about how lovely it was to stay at this Beach Retreat! It is a beautifully decorated and furnished space and I truly felt like I could walk in and just be at home here. Also, everything was extremely clean upon my arrival. There is a very spacious bedroom and a separate eating area where you have a gorgeous peek-a-boo view of the ocean (and you also get this same view from the outside balcony where I would often enjoy my coffee in the mornings). The kitchen is well furnished, also the living area also has plenty of space and feels very cozy with a super comfy couch and fireplace. It's an easy (and beautiful!) twenty-minute walk through a private residential neighborhood to get to the beach. Super convenient to shopping and restaurants and a very safe location all around. The owner was beyond helpful and accommodating ... anytime I needed anything he was responsive. Right after I checked in I requested a few extra kitchen things and he brought them over the same day! This is a true gem of a rental and I feel so grateful that I got to make it my getaway for a few months during the pandemic. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!
