We loved our stay with Anchor Down! They have everything you need for the beach, including a wagon. It’s a short drive to the beach and perfect location!

We loved our stay at Anchor Down's condo. The place was clean, and we felt at home upon arrival. A representative called us the morning after check-in to ensure we had everything we needed. The covered parking spot was a plus, and the pool was perfectly located. The bikes and beach chairs provided were a nice touch as well. We would recommend this place and Anchor Down's to anyone looking for a clean perfectly located home away from home. We will definitely be back again!
