The Condo was spacious with plenty of room in the living area to watch movies with multiple people. The furniture was is very good shape and the master bed was very comfortable. The kitchen was easy to get around. Breakfast on the patio was a nice treat as you could look at the ocean in one direction and Back Bay in the other direction. The elevator and designated parking spot are close enough to make loading and unloading a breeze! The owners were quick to respond to any questions we had and we would happily book this condo again!

We had a great stay in this condo. The bathrooms were large and looked recently updated. The master bathroom shower was amazing! We were there off season and they were sure to communicate that the pools would not be open. Jose Tequila restaurant that was onsite was terrific! I am sure this is even more fabulous during the busy summer months.

The condo was lovely and better than the pictures online. The host was very easy to work with and was in contact with us regularly. She gave us some great restaurant ideas that we took advantage of trying. It was disappointing that the hot tub was not working at the building but that is not on the owner. We would highly recommend the condo and this host!!

the condo is spacious, well stocked and close to the pool and the beach.The owner (Crystal) was timely in getting back to us on our questions and concerns.With that said, we were disappointed with the following:1. The condo was not clean upon our arrival. We spent over an hour cleaning. We had to use numerous Lysol wipes which were filthy when we were done.2. There was a wad of hair in the washing machine3. There was hair in several of the bathroom vanity drawers.4. There were crumbs on the dining room chairs.5. There is a distinct bad odor coming from the washing machine and or the dryer. We noticed a buildup of “gunk“ around the washing machine gasket. This is potentially a biohazard.6. Many surfaces were dusty and it’s apparent they haven’t been cleaned for sometime.We notified Crystal on the second day of our stay in regard to the above. She came to condo and cleaned the washer/dryer. Although we appreciated that, the fact remains that the condo was dirty upon our arrival.

The house was immaculately clean and comfortable for an early Galentines Weekend away with friends.

Off season getaway
We had a wonderful time staying in this condo. The location was perfect with easy access to restaurants and quiet areas to explore like the Wildlife Refuge. The condo was exactly as described and very clean upon arrival. The beds and sofa were comfortable and the owners kindly provided shampoo, conditioner, and a few days supply of tp, trash bags, and dishwashing detergent. A big bonus for us was the close proximity to the large VA Beach pickleball complex. We spent our mornings on the courts and our afternoons relaxing on the beach. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your condo for a much needed weekend of rest and relaxation. We hope to be back next year.
