We loved the unit we stayed at. This was our second year staying in the same unit and we booked it for 2026. We appreciated being able to check in early.

FFR303 - Shell Yeah

Wonderful stay as always; this was our 3rd stay at this property (4th with FF) and our favorite unit so far.

Great property, well stocked kitchen and beautiful ocean views.

FFR315 - Seas The Day

We have rented at FFR about 13+ times and this past week was a great vacation experience. The only negative was the south elevator was not working. We are happy to climb the stairs most times but checking in and out does require us to use the elevator. The bed linens were clean but scratchy. I usually bring my own pillow cases to put on top so that the pillows are softer on my face. We love FFR and will book again for next year!

FFR307 - Pelican's Perch

we always look forward to staying in the Pelican's Perch. The owner puts a lot of care into making sure the decor is comfortable and inviting.

Bobbie. from Granite Falls, 09/02/2025

FFR205 - Beach Therapy

Very comfortable. The view was wonderful Our 3rd winter there and our favorite condo so far. There wasn�t anything we didn�t like.

Patricia. from Chambersburg, 03/17/2026

FFR303 - Shell Yeah

Great unit and location. We will definitely return.

Rick. from Midlothian, 08/27/2025

FFR315 - Seas The Day

The rental was clean on our arrival. We loved that multiple hangers were available in the closet for our clothes. We love the high top chairs and tables on the balcony, which is one of the reasons we chose this rental the last few years. The Girst Flight staff are always friendly and responsive to our texts. One elevator was down this year but the HOA responded timely. Unfortunately it only worked for a day and was down again. The other elevator still worked. We realize this was not First Flights responsibility. Thank you for making our vacation great! We will be renting again next year!
