What our guest say

Customer testimonial

Kaylee Woodbury, Connecticut

Absolutely loved the place! Super cute! Walked right across the street on a private beach! Chantelle is an AMAZING host and we will definitely be coming back!

Jessica Martin

This condo was perfect — clean, comfortable, and beautifully furnished. The beach view was stunning, and we loved relaxing on the balcony. The beds were super comfy, the AC worked great, and the amenities (board games, tv, blankets) made our stay even better. Quick walk to Capt Dave’s, which is a family favorite. This trip we discovered Sandos Beachside coffee. Hostess was very accommodating and quick to respond when we needed something or had a question. Highly recommend and would definitely come back!

Jason Atlanta, Georgia

Incredible spot with unbeatable views. The private beach access made everything super convenient. Chantelle was quick to respond and made check-in smooth. Perfect for a relaxing break — highly recommend!

Monica Nashville, Tennessee

The townhome was spotless and beautifully decorated. I appreciated how well-stocked the kitchen was! Loved having coffee on the balcony with the ocean right there.

David & Sarah Dallas, Texas

We traveled with our two kids and dog — and it was perfect. Quiet, clean, and just steps from the beach. Chantelle was such a thoughtful host, even left treats for the pup!

Emma Chicago, Illinois

This was the beach reset I needed. Peaceful, cozy, and close to everything. The views from the master bedroom? Unreal.
