My new favorite place to stay! Our room looked just like the photos, clean, and easy to find. The hosts were very friendly and quick in response. I especially loved that our 2 dogs were able to tag along with us. Loved the beach view from the ground level room, and convenient food options next door at manatees tiki bar.

Perfect Beach Getaway Spot.

Booked this for a weekend and had a lovely time. There was an issue with the original unit I booked and the host went out her way to get us into a different unit and to make sure we were happy. The unit was cute and clean and just what we wanted with direct access to the beach. Definitely will be back.

It had everything we needed and was in a great location. The best part was being able to bring our older dog who requires daily meds. She loved sitting in her bed and watching people on the beach.

If you are looking for the perfect place for a couples getaway, this is the place. Although not as modern and upscale as it’s neighbors, the location and literal steps to the beach are what makes this condo perfect!! I would highly recommend. You won’t be disappointed.

I love this place it’s so close to the beach, just open your back patio door and you right there . This is our 2nd time staying there and not our last. The only thing I don’t like is that it doesn’t have a shower but everything else is perfect.

Beautiful View

Nice, relaxing and the ocean view from the unit is awesome! Step right out the back door and our feet were in the sand. The unit was cute, cozy and decorated in a super cute beachy style. Overall enjoyed the stay and was a bonus that my fur babies were able to be with us. My only suggestions would be a deep clean and perhaps some updates to the unit.

October Get away

We were so pleased with our accommodations. The location was perfect and so quiet. Every morning we walked to the beach, about 150 feet, to watch the sunrise. Every evening we sat on the beach and watched the sunset. It was restful and lovely, just what we wanted. It’s not fancy, but very clean. The only suggestion, bring your own toilet paper if your stay is longer than 3 days. A small price for for an excellent experience.

Convient Beach Access

We've never stayed ground level before, but we ended up loving how easy it was to access the beach. The condo is quaint, nothing fancy but was perfect for our family of 3. We were able to check in early which was great for my wife who was working remotely. Having complimentary beach chairs & an umbrella was great. The condo could use a good deep clean: ie the shower head & shampoo the couch but overall it was a pleasant experience & we even got to bring our dog.
