Most restaurants, shops, marinas, and attractions are within 5–15 minutes

Grocery stores and convenience shops are nearby

Parking is widely available at attractions and dining spots

Tip: During peak season (spring break, summer, holidays), traffic is heaviest from 10am–6pm. Early mornings and evenings are the easiest times to travel.



🚲 Biking

Biking is a pleasant option for short distances.

Many roads have wide shoulders suitable for biking

Best for early morning or late afternoon rides

Ideal for casual trips to nearby shops or coffee spots

Note: Helmets are recommended, and biking is not ideal for long distances during midday heat.

Best for beach cruising and nearby dining

Check local regulations for permitted routes

🏖️ Beach Items

Beach chairs, umbrellas, and other beach gear are not provided.

❄️ Refrigerator Tip

Your check-in day is often a same-day turnover. The refrigerator may need time to fully cool and may not handle large amounts of warm food immediately. Please leave non-perishable items on the counter or in coolers and avoid overfilling. The refrigerator may take up to 12 hours to reach optimal temperature.



🌬️ Air Conditioning Guidelines

On very hot days (90°+), the A/C system may not cool more than 20 degrees below the outside temperature. Please do not set the thermostat excessively low, as this may cause the unit to freeze and shut down. For best performance:

Use ceiling fans

Close blinds during peak sun hours

Keep doors and windows closed

Do not run the A/C with the balcony door open

This property was perfect for our family vacation and had enough space for everyone (4 adults and 2 teenagers)! The location and views from the HUGE balcony were just icing on the cake! The balcony and ocean views can be accessed by each of the 3 bedrooms! Check in and out was a breeze! This property was voted the best place we’ve stayed in by all of the family and definitely a place we will rent again!

Excellent condo! The whole family was comfortable, and had easy access to everything. Large balcony, plenty of seating for all. Check in/out was simple. No problems with anything. Will definitely return to this one again!
6 / 10Average·Aug 2023
The view was excellent. However the rest was not great. The interior of the property needed a top to bottom, really good cleaning. Or it needed updating. Everything just looked tired, including the very old furniture in the living room. It looked dirty and quite worn and really was just not comfortable at all to sit on. Honestly I felt like it needed to be disinfected before sitting on it. For the price we paid, I would not stay there again with the condition it was in.
