This was one of the best vacations we have had in a long time. Phil and his family have the perfect location- they are one block from a gorgeous neighborhood beach. The condo itself has everything a young family or close group of friends could want if they were looking to have a quiet, relaxing vacation. We enjoyed trying the different offerings at the food trucks along the North Shore and barbecuing in the backyard on the grill Phil has set up. The backyard and overlooking porch are incredibly private and quiet, and our little ones were able to explore and play while we relaxed and had a drink on the deck. The outdoor shower is amazing, and we opted to use it for the majority of our stay. The beds are all incredibly comfortable, and the kitchen is well appointed with everything you could want for making dinners in after a day at the beach. Phil's recommendations on the best hikes and beaches were spot on everytime- from where to get a great dinner to the best child-friendly beach where our little ones could swim (The waves were pretty big in January)- his insight and suggestions made the trip even more enjoyable. The washer and dryer in the condo allowed us to pack very lightly, and made the travel to and from the condo even easier. We would highly recommend Phil's condo, and are already looking forward to booking again in the future. Thank you so much to Phil and his family for such wonderful warm hospitality!
