Supplies
The house was perfect for our little family. Only complaint is they didn’t supply any trash bags or house hold cleaning supplies. Could have supplied a couple extra so we didn’t have to go purchase a whole box. Offered a single tablet of dishwasher tablets to do wash the dishes for housekeeping when leaving. Over all a nice place.

Beautiful Condo Beachside
My family with two teen daughters stayed in this condo over spring break. The condo was very clean and beautiful decor. We loved the ocean view from the 14th floor! We had no issues and check in was quick and easy. The bunks were a bit short for my oldest daughter, but she only complained the first night. Location is very close to lots of amenities. We liked that pools and hot tubs were adjacent to the beach. We will be back!

Wonderful family vacation
We had a wonderful time on our trip! The condo was beautiful and clean. I loved how it was decorated. The views were amazing- I loved having sliding glass doors in the master and living room so we could see the views. The bunk beds were perfect for our 9 year old twins, they loved the beds and room! The beach was beautiful and not too busy. We would love to stay here again!

Family room
Room description should emphasize that this unit is set up for a couple with small children, not teenagers. Bunk beds are tiny, more for pre teens. Also, the paint job is terrible. Otherwise, the unit good, but not great. The rating criteria is set poorly, and although I would rent it again, it is not truely a 5☆ experience.
