Disliked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy
Check in via the condo was quick however, the key was not in the lockbox. Spent the next 1.5 hours waiting to get inside the condo. There are 2 lockboxes and neither had a key. There is a touchpad on the door but they wouldn’t provide me the code. I had to keep calling the mgmt co BeachBox for updates. I was hung up on once. I was never offered even an apology. I would not recommend this condo or any place managed by BeachBox.

We enjoyed our stay here. The condo was in great condition, well decorated and stocked with all needed essentials. The bunk beds were perfect for our older grandkids and they liked being in them. The host response was always prompt and the check in was easy. The pool area and bring pet friendly was a big bonus!!
