Ideal Location for a Beach Vacation

This property was clean and comfortable for a family of five. Best of all, it's about a 3 minute walk to a very nice beach, which made spending plenty of time relaxing by the ocean so easy, especially with younger children. We would definitely stay again.

Loved the location!!

I stayed here with my two kids and really enjoyed it. Our unit had a view of the beach/sunsets which was awesome. The apartment was nicely decorated and had pretty much everything we needed. The only downside was an electrical issue that was being fixed when we left. We would definitely stay here again.

Great little place by the beach

We really enjoyed our stay. It was a perfect size for our family of 5 and just down the street from a great beach. The kids had surf lessons just one block over on Law St. The beds are really comfortable and even the sofa bed worked well for us. The barbecue was in great shape and we used it almost every day. Parking was not too much of a problem even during 4th of July week. Would definitely stay again.

Great place for the bride's family

This was a beautiful apartment and in the center of everything. We enjoyed beach walks with my daughter and families coming in every day for the wedding. The place was super clean and well-appointed. We had both the bride and groom over for a get-to-know-each-other dinner. The place was perfect for that. Fabulous response from Megan the Property Manager when we could not figure out tv and she went above and beyond replacing lightbulbs. We will return!

Beautiful quiet apartment. Older but clean.

The apartment was clean. There were little things like a microwave that didn't work over stove and another that did work on top of the refrigerator. We had a problem with the garage door opener but manage responded immediately and had handyman fix it within minutes. Overall definitely would stay again.
