Everything was great. Owners very easy to communicate with. Check in was a little quirky but nothing horrible. There is only one person in the office on the weekend and it’s kinda chaotic, but nothing of the owners fault. It was just a holiday weekend. Overall very nice place and very nice owners. Will be back definitely.

Overall it was good. Could be a bit cleaner (floors where sandy as soon as we walked in) but not too bad. Bed could be more comfortable, but not really a deal breaker. Where good enough for 3 nights.

Awesome location
The condo was well maintained. It had a fully equipped kitchen. The view off the balcony of the ocean was beautiful. The condo had every thing for young kids, crib, highchair, and a closet full of beach toys. Only complaint was neither pool was heated as advertised. Overall a 5 star condo. Will definitely be returning to this condo for my next visit

Family Beach vacation
Property was large for our family. Had beach towels and toys at the ready. Beach was walkable -just across the Main Street. Easy access! Gated property, so secure. Pools were fun for kids. No too crowded. Close to lots of fun activities. Drove-to hot to walk. Tub drain issue in one bath, but we made due. Property managers were responsive in minutes. Only negative was kids room had no tv, but not a deal breaker. Kitchen was well stocked with equipment, although we did no cooking.

Our family stayed at this apartment 3 nights in July. Everything inside was in good condition and working properly. The kitchen is very well equipped for cooking different meals. The location is excelente, right across the street from the beach. Good view from the balcony. The apt complex areas were clean and organized. Easy access but secure. Beautiful swimming pools.

Perfect for a Family
Jom and Monica are ideal hosts. Communicative, prompt and accommodating. We rented Driftwood Dreams for a dance competition, and brought a long our family of six! The condos are a perfect location - on the main strip, very close to the beach-but just down far enough to be out of the very busy parts of the beach. The condo is packed with everything you need. Dishes, towels, beach tools, coffee, a cooler for the pool, and plenty of space. We also appreciated there is plenty of communal eating spaces in the kitchen and back patio. If we had any wishes, it would be some of the small wear and tear - some of the bathroom rugs had minor staining, the fridge had a small leak and some of the blinds were broken. I would 100% stay here again and trust that the managers will work to make the stay comfortable.

This was our first booking on vrbo, and the stay was excellent. It was kind a last minute booking, but glad that we went for it. The stay was excellent, check-in was super-fast and the owners were highly responsive for our questions. Rooms were clean, amenities were good, location was the best.

This condo was perfect for 7 of us! Everyone enjoyed the condo and how close it is to everything. Kids loved the sand toys! Little issue with the key code, but owners were quick to respond and a quick solution. The property is beautiful! The pool and hot tub were nice. Really liked that it is a gated community. Would definitely stay here again. Also look and sign the guestbook!
