    We had a wonderful stay at Stan’s place! Traveling with three kids (ages 2–8), this location was perfect—right on the beach, quiet, and nicely secluded. We loved starting our mornings with coffee on the patio overlooking the ocean and sunrise, and our days were spent enjoying the beach. When the kids needed a break from the sand, the pool was a refreshing spot to cool off. The condo itself had every amenity you could possibly need and was thoughtfully equipped, which made our stay so comfortable. It’s also conveniently close to grocery stores and fantastic restaurants. We will definitely be back!

    Our family of 6 adults and 5 kids really enjoyed this property. This condo was clean and nicely decorated. The kitchen was well equipped and our host provided lots of extras. The beds were comfortable and bath towels were plush!! The wagon, 6 beach chairs, 2 umbrellas and 6 beach towels were used every day. We liked the size of the property too. Not too many units or crowds. And I would definitely recommend our host, Stan. He responded promptly to my questions.Overall we were very happy with this rental and had a wonderful time. This was a great pick for us.
