Annual May trip
Condo was very clean and well equipped. Beds were a little too soft, but we like a firmer bed. We have chosen this property for the last six years. It is well maintained and the people who work here are so nice and welcoming. We’ll be back!

Back to our happy place...
We have stayed in this property before and it's always a joy to return. The condo is lovely and perfectly equipped. The property is well-maintained and very secure. The owners are delightful and always responsive. We have recommended not only Ocean Vista but his particular unit to many people - and we will certainly be back.

A wonderful stay.
The condo is wonderful. It is very nicely decorated, clean and comfortable. We did cook some, and the kitchen is well equipped. But what is really special is the large balcony right over the water. We all loved spending time out on it from morning coffee to evening drinks.
