Completely Perfect Stay! This was an amazing property, the location is so great, close to everything! The property shows better in person than the pictures. What makes this property the best is a perfect host, every single expectation was exceeded. The host was available at the drop of a hat if needed, but also ensured you enjoyed the property uninterrupted.This was not only a 10/10 stay, but the best short term rental we have ever used. Can’t wait to go back if possible. Great for any group, we had a family of 6 and the suite was not only spacious, it made us feel like we could have fit more (a huge plus for a larger group).

What a lovely stay! The condo is immaculately clean and is stocked with absolutely everything you could need, plus items in the kitchen and bathrooms in case you forget anything. Everything is in excellent working order. The grounds are very well cared for and lovely. There are tons of chairs to use in the pool area. At the time we visited there was no beach, only a cordoned-off seawall. There is a small public beach only about 500 feet away. The pool is very clean. It's "solar heated" which meant that is was a bit too cold for me. The whale watching from the lanai is excellent! Lots of breaches, fin slapping, etc. Kate even left decent binoculars. Perfect! Kate is a perfect hostess; quick to respond, kind, and generous. Don't sleep on this unit! You won't be sorry.

We absolutely loved our stay here. The place is even better than what the pictures show— especially the view. It was super clean, the beds were comfortable, and the host is very communicative and kind! Would absolutely stay here again!
