We made two reservations with Beachball Properties. They made the process friendly and easy. It was a great visit. Everything went well, no problems. Check in and check out was easy and the condo was fine for the two of us. Beach was beautiful!

Night 1 slept in original rental, it was nice and right in the middle of everything OB! Next morning woke up to some mishaps downstairs with the plumbing. Called the office and by lunchtime they had two options ready. They also treated us to lunch at Tacky Jacks while they got the new Crib ready. Will rent again.
