Set atop the building, the penthouse offers stunning pool-and-ocean views, easy private beach access and spotless pools and restrooms. Guests praise the thoughtful, well-decorated, family-friendly layout, comfy furnishings, included beach chairs and a convenient location near restaurants, shopping and the highway. Cleanliness and quiet (no neighbors above) are consistently noted, and host communication via Vacasa is responsive and helpful — many return year after year.

The Penthouse was very nice inside, but the maintenance work was very disappointing!

This unit was exactly what we needed. It was well kept and had a great view of the pools and beach. We loved having access to walk to the private beach area. The pools were easily accessible and kept really clean. It was also nice having access to the restroom facilities on the property. They were also kept clean! Can’t wait to come back!
