The perfect beach holiday awaits you in this 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom end-unit condo on Rio Del Mar State beach.

The view is great! 6 of us stayed here comfortably. The host was responsive to my texts quickly. Quiet neighborhood.
6 / 10Average·May 2023
The location and view were stupendous. Beds were very comfortable. A lot of high-end things, i.e. Viking range/oven, although not a lot of pots and pans This is not a large place. More than 4 people would be really pushing it. Biggest problem was the lack of WiFi. The last two day we all used cellular data. Be aware there is NO table you can eat at or work on. There is a peninsula that is cramped, low, with almost no knee room. We did find an old card table downstairs, but three of the four legs have been bent/ broken. You have to be really careful to not dump it. If stairs are an problem, be aware that at the top there is no handrail where it makes a turn.
