Summary: The owners were fantastic with communication—very responsive and easy to work with. The condo was exactly as described and in an amazing location—super close to everything we needed! The air conditioning worked really well, so much so that we ended up buying fleece blankets for the evenings (not a complaint, just a funny bonus!).We loved that it was on the ground level and pet-friendly, so our fur baby could join us. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we could have needed.One tip for light sleepers: if you’re staying in the queen bedroom, consider bringing a sound machine or fan. The guests above or next to us were pretty loud a few nights—not enough to complain about since they were just enjoying themselves, but it might be helpful to block out the noise, especially if you’re traveling with young kids.All in all, a great stay. We’d definitely recommend this place. Boshamps is a must eat… best meal we had!The beach chairs and umbrella were a great addition!The perfect way to wrap up summer!
