What an amazing vrbo property. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and spa. The house is so spacious, open, and beautiful. The service from Florian was the best. We've visited vrbo places for over 20 years and this place is top 3. We'll be coming back next year!

Great stay

I would return to this property. The condo is furnished well. The view is incredible. A lot of food choices and shops close by. The complimentary chairs is an A plus! The only issue is the beach patrol lets people not staying at the condo come on private property instead of staying on the public beach. Kids came and dumped buckets of water on my husband and buckets of sand on me. They left the beach a mess and wasn’t even staying at the condo. Other than that the owner and the property is amazing.

Heaven on earth!

The condo was really nice. We had a fantastic stay! The view was breathtaking! We got there just in time to still see some of the historical snowfall. The location is close to just about anything you want to do or anywhere you want to eat. We had travel issues and Nic was super easy to work with and he had an awesome response time. This is our second time staying at one of his condos and we LOVE it!! We will be back as soon as possible!
