Weekend getaway

We really enjoyed to stay at this property. The condo was clean, updated and in a great location just a short walk away from the beach.

Excellent Stay, everything was well maintained.

We had 12 people that included 8 kids, the house was perfect for us, the kids all had their own beds. The house was well maintained and they were very responsive when we had any questions. Excellent access to the beach. Would definitely recommend.

Disliked: Check-in
The place needs a bit of work, expected it to be a little rough around the edges but some things went beyond that for me. The exterior fence is falling apart and you need to lift the gate to be able to open it and get a car in. Also the blinds in the bedrooms are inadequate and they need to put some block outs in, I didn’t sleep well whilst there due to this. Only other thing I'd suggest should change is all of the rooms in the place should be made up if someone is staying there. I stayed with my wife and son and when we got there the third bedroom which I was planning to sleep in hadn't been made up with sheets as an assumption was made that I'd be sleeping in the same room as my wife so we couldn't use that room that night. I've never had to specify that I plan to use all of the rooms in a place I'm staying at before, should go without saying imo. Aside from those things the place was ok, nothing fancy but functional enough if you're just looking for a place to sleep like we were.
