Justin was a great host. Very responsive and checked in with us throughout the process. The property is very close to the beach access which is exactly what we were looking for.

We had a wonderful stay! The condo was cute, very clean, and perfect for a getaway for my husband and I. All of the appliances were in great condition, and the location was absolutely perfect. Private beach access was only about a one-minute walk away! We also loved being just a short walk from Dune Billy’s, which quickly became our favorite café. Oktoberfest happened to be going on at the public beach during our stay, and being able to walk there in about 12 minutes saved us the hassle of parking. Justin and his team were friendly, responsive, and easy to communicate with throughout our stay. We would definitely recommend this Airbnb and would happily stay here again!

Though Justin was a friendly, attentive host and the proximity to the beach was great, the condo was a disappointment. The rooms were not at all as advertised on line. The door handles were loose or broken, the dryer didn't dry, the water pressure in the bathroom was minimal, the cracked ceilings and walls need another coat of paint, no kitchen towels and only one hand towel for the bath, the appliances were corroded as were the heat vents along the baseboards and there was hair on one of the bedsheets. Worst of all was the infestation of fruit flies, particularly in the bath and kitchen. Loved the beach but will be looking for another place to stay.
