We enjoyed our stay here. The beach and pool were relaxing. One small complaint is no exterior plugs for an extension cord for charging our boat.

Great beach escape! The place was great! The outside does look a little weather rough but exactly like the photos. The inside is gorgeous beautifully all redone! The beds were so comfy, AC crisp, the showers were hot and the views were immaculate from the balcony. Giving 4 (but really it’s 4.5/5) stars only because the paperwork said there was an ice machine available for guests to use for free and then we ran into I guess the property manager and she said it’s not been a thing for 3 years. That was a bummer.The pathway to the beach is only wide enough for your feet and it’s a hike. It’s walking up sand dunes and the sand is so soft your feet can sink up to your ankles. You cannot wheel anything through and if you don’t have a 4x4 good luck driving on those beaches. I think if we could have seen some pathway pictures beforehand we would have better planned for that. Lastly, the pool has zero shade along the side of the pool. It’s like being cooked out there. There is only one area at the pool under a porch that is covered but when all of that seating is gone you’re out of luck and sitting in straight sunlight. The pool was refreshing and very wonderful for a cool off! Beware of WASPS if you’re allergic!! They are everywhere and my bf did get stung. Management was great they respond fast and are so kind! We would stay here again but plan better for getting onto the beach and walking through that sand. It’s a workout, I promise.

Hidden Gem We had a great family vacation. We had plenty of room with 7 adults and 2 kids. The pool for the condos is great for adults and kids. They also have a pond on site that has some huge fish in it. You can easily walk to the beach or make a very short drive to get to the beach. My family had a wonderful time and look forward to going back some time.

Great beach getaway We had a great family vacation! The property contact Mike was very communicative and extremely accommodating. The location of the house is perfect. You can either do a quick 3 min drive to the beach so that you have your vehicle or there is a path that you can walk 5 minutes right out the door to the beach. The house is right on a pond that is very pretty and our boys enjoyed fishing and kayaking. We were able to bring our boat and felt safe with the house being in a gated community. It’s also only 10 minutes from the public boat ramp. So overall this house is reasonably priced, great location and super friendly!

Friends get away We had a really good time in this beach house ! Everything was clean and the house was comfortable and equipped with everything we needed . I like to mention though that , if you have small children or old people, the spiral staircase is a bit of a challenge. We were a group of 5 “seasoned “ gals and 3 could not get up there . I suggest that if you have small children to bring a guard rail

Family Trip We loved being near the beach and the nature center. The location is great, but the mosquitos were terrible (obviously no fault of the owner). They swarmed us walking from the condo to the car. There was so much standing water outside the condo due to recent rain. We didn't get to enjoy a lot of outdoor time. Thmusidcondocondo.
