Very helpful with clear instructions to get into the condo. Exactly as described, it was a little hot in the back bedroom but they had extra fans to use. The place was very clean and within perfect walking distance of the beach, restaurants and shops

Great spot on the beach
We were visiting friends and loved being so close to shopping and great seafood restaurants. The place was perfect for the two of us and had everything we needed for cooking, plenty of pillows, towels. The condo complex was quiet and clean and a short walk to the beach. We were there in 2011 and the place hadn’t changed at all

Excellent location, small apartment
The place is at a excellent location (near playground, shopping and dining area, oceanfront) and you can find all amenities you need for a short stay. The apartment is small, pictures give you an impression of being bigger. But for a short period, it doesn't bother.

Great experience!
This condo complex is on the beach with great amenities. It’s an older building and the space is small, but it’s been spruced up. The entire complex and this specific condo have a musty smell, but it wasn’t too bad. It had anything you would need in the kitchen in terms of pans and dishes etc. The bunks are definitely for younger kids as they are very narrow. The pools are wonderful and everything was very clean at this property. It was a nice surprise to find a huge basket on the porch with tons of sand toys and buckets. Great extras included a beach cart, umbrellas, chairs, boogie boards etc. This rental also included $150 in gear rental that was delivered. I originally ordered chairs, an umbrella, and boogie board, but when we arrived I realized the condo offered all of these things. The rental company came back to pick the items I ordered up and brought bikes instead! Both the gear rental company and Sunset Realty were wonderful to work with. The communication was quick and easy and very much appreciated whenever I needed something. I was even granted a later checkout due to my evening flight. I can’t say enough good things about this rental company. We had a great trip and I’d go back tomorrow if I could.

Great Getaway
This condo is nicely decorated and was very clean for our stay. It has very cozy bedding and pillows and nice amenities (beach chairs, toys, games). It's the perfect location right on the beach and walking distance to many restaurants and grocery store.
