"Nancy and Chris were wonderful hosts, very responsive to any of our questions and kindly granted our request for an early check-in. Their condo is well apportioned with everything you might need, she even supplied brand new beach chairs even though the ones already there were just fine. The complex was clean and well maintained with a very nice swimming pool and newer BBQ’s. This condo is ocean front, so taking in the beautiful sunsets from your lanai is something not to be missed!

Overall I would recommend this place. We were family of 6 and were comfortable"
