10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Dec 2025
Enjoyable stay. Unit was very clean, nicely decorated and in a convenient location (as promised) close to the beach and downtown. The kitchen had all needed items and large enough to easily allow meal preparation. Host was highly responsive to questions.Only survey question that was hard to respond to since it was not part of our stay was the “winery experience” - gave a “3” rating when a N/A would be more appropriate!
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Dec 2025
Condo complex is dated and needs some tlc, but it’s gated, pretty quiet, and close to the boardwalk. Seemed like a safe location. Inside is nicely updated. Kitchen is pretty well equipped with the exception of knives—really bad and difficult to use. We had a few issues, but property management responded quickly and did what they could to mitigate issues. Overall I would recommend.

Host kept us up to speed with check in and out process. Our new college kid enjoyed having his own room for the weekend, thanks for having us!
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2025
Everything was wonderful. I just somehow didn’t get all the info I needed to get in. When I called, I got it and I figured it out, but it wasn’t completely smooth. The place was very cute and the location was perfect. A small detail was that I think the people who installed the mirrors was a little on the short side. We have a pretty comical photo of my husband and son in the mirror looking at their chests. ( they are both around 6’4”)
