Outstanding property. We have stayed in multiple different units at the Shipwatch property and this is by far our favorite. Little details make all the difference - everything labeled, everything works and beautifully decorated. The upstairs Keurig is life-changing.Host provided all information you would want and what you never think to ask - and was responsive at every turn.Cannot recommend this property enough.

This was a beautiful ocean front condo! It was furnished extremely well and the decor was fantastic. It had everything we needed and more. The location was perfect - right on the beach, near the pool, and not too far from the stores while still being quiet. You can tell they put a lot of love and attention into maintaining this place. The owner was very responsive and helpful. We had a great time and can’t wait to come back!

This was our second time staying at this condo - family of four with a high schooler and a college age student. We loved it as much this time as we did last summer. It’s a great and comfortable condo and it has everything you need for a great week on the beach. The owners are very responsive and we will definitely stay here again!
