What a wonderful stay we had at this condo! Everything was perfect. The owners did not miss one detail. The decor was beautiful, beds were great and the view was amazing. Having beach chairs and a cooler was such an added plus. The owners were excellent communicators! You will not be disappointed if you book this condo! Thank you so much Lisa and Ian!

The hosts were always available via text if I had any issues. The condo is beautiful and you have a great view of the sunsets from the patio. We enjoyed using the hot tub, although the pool was too chilly to be used in March, it was still lovely to sit around. And the condo was amazingly quiet despite being very close to the main street, so it was easy to get anywhere.
