    Yes and home was beautiful. I would give 5 starts except the location advertised an elevator. It DOES NOT have an elevator and is on 3rd floor

    We loved staying at this cute rental. We enjoyed the beautiful ocean front views and breeze sitting on the balcony. There was easy access to the ocean and local coffee and eating spots. The interior was well decorated and furnished.

    We really enjoyed our stay here. The hosts are fantastic, everything you need is in the rental and the communication is excellent. Really appreciate the beach chairs and other items on site. Short 5 minute walk to the beach. Would definitely stay here again.

    This condo was a great choice. Very clean. Kitchen was well appointed for our cooking needs. Great view of the beach. We spent a lot of time on the balcony. Chairs were comfy and breeze was great. Publix very close by and plenty of restaurants to choose from. Will definitely consider coming back to stay again.

    This place was in the perfect location for a fun, peaceful and convenient stay (3 nights). After deciding the day before checkout that we wanted to stay an extra night, the host was more than flexible and quick to add another night. The view from the balcony is stunning, and condo was clean, welcoming, and cozy!We will be staying here whenever we return!

    A friend of mine and myself met up and stayed at this condo. It was very nice and felt really homey! Even though we didn’t use them, having the extra amenities like beach chairs, beach towels etc. was a great perk. We would definitely stay here again!!

    This is a beautifully appointed condo with a great view and covered balcony. It is conveniently located to everything. It is our second time staying here, for good reason, and we can highly recommend it. We like to come off season and there is still so much to see and do when it gets cooler/cold. Great hosts!

    We had a fantastic experience, the view from the balcony is perfection no matter the time of day. I would caution anyone who has trouble walking that it is a walk up about 4 flights of stairs. However, the walk is worth it for the view from the balcony and the clean, lovely furnished space. The beds were also very comfortable with plush comforters and pillows. Highly recommend and we will hope to stay there again next year!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The property is just like the pictures - actually better than the pictures! Really well decorated and spacious. The balcony was probably our favorite spot where we could sit and watch/listen to the ocean. The location of this unit was ideal as well. Since the area is not right by large hotels/condo units, we felt like we had a more private section of the beach. The owner was great with communication and responded promptly. We also enjoyed the smaller touches like shampoo/conditioner/body wash in each bathroom plus the beach equipment. Good parking as well. Will definitely be back!
