Jill was quick to respond & very accommodating! The condo was decorated beautifully & very comfortable furniture. We spent a good bit of time on the outside porch. Loved the comfy deck furniture & the fact there was a table to eat outside also. Upgraded appliances looked nice ( we didn’t cook☺️). Beautiful view. Also really enjoyed how easy & close it was to get on the beach.

A wonderful place to stay with a gorgeous clean space and perfect view! The hosts are so kind and willing to give you local recommendations as well as answer quickly. The beach is gorgeous and semi private with no tents but a WONDERFUL chair service you can pay for outside. It’s a one of a kind stay truly and the balcony is to die for. Will definitely be coming back for sure!

The condo was as described and very clean. The location was quiet. It was hot while we were here, but we still enjoyed the covered balcony. It was just what I was looking for!

Jill’s place is wonderful! We felt right at home. The view is spectacular. The condo is tastefully decorated and clutter free. The walk down to the beach couldn’t be any easier. We hope to come back soon!
