Beach Shack small 1 bedroom condo walk to ocean less than one block away

Very close to beach and was able to see the Artemis II launch (incredible). It was very quiet which was nice in the evening. Check in/out was extremely smooth and the host communicated promptly. Finally, the rooms were clean and ready for arrival. My only minor concern was the cigarette smell inside the apartment. I don’t smoke so I can only assume it was coming from an adjacent apartment or via the AC unit. That said, after my stay, I did let the host know and she was going to check it out so I’m confident she will address it.

My second time there, my partner’s first. He kept saying “I see why you love it here.”. He enjoyed shore fishing and we took miles long walks on the beach every day. He can’t wait to come back.

Good.

The condo was clean & stocked with plenty of utensils to prepare & eat food. There were plenty of towels & some beach gear. The short walk to the beach was by far my favorite part of the condo. Everything that the owner of the condo could control was nice, unfortunately there were disappointing features (out of owner control) that impacted our stay. We read all the reviews before we chose this condo, it was repeatedly mentioned that whoever can smell the cigarette smoke must have a sensitive sense of smell. This is absolutely untrue. We believe one of the neighbors may smoke in their condo & that is the cause of the smell. It was truly horrendous... My husband & I are previous smokers so cigarette smoke doesn't phase us too much but every time we opened the door it was quite disagreeable. It is unfortunate because I really am not sure how the owner could help with this issue & I hate to drop the review down because of something out of their control. Additionally, there was no mention that there would be ongoing construction during our stay. We were woken up every morning with construction workers talking loudly, blaring music & loud construction noises. Again, out of owner control but still impacted our stay & we would've appreciated a heads up about it beforehand. Parking spots are tight. There was one night out of six with no available parking. Ultimately, we did not care to be in the condo longer than necessary because of the smell & construction.
