Liked: Cleanliness
Overall we enjoyed our stay; however, the pictures of the property were misleading. It looked like it was a single structure, but it was attached to another unit. This was incredibly disappointing as this was one of the reasons we chose the property. Additionally, I had to contact (through text) the property manager twice. The first time I reached out they got back pretty quickly. The second time they didn’t respond for two hours. Calling led to leaving a voice mail that also did not garner a quick response. Both times we figured out what we needed prior to their response. There is a pool key in the unit, they don’t tell you where. I suppose you have to play hide and seek prior to being able to use the pool. This is not a fun exercise with three kids staring at you waiting. (Hint: it was in a kitchen drawer.)All of the beds were very uncomfortable. Condo was clean and provided a place to rest in the evenings.

Perfect little get-a-way

Quite neighborhood and close to the beach. Perfect for a small family with young children. Within walking distance to the beach. The condo was very clean and welcoming. The patio is weathered and needs updating. This was a perfect fit for us and will be staying here again.

Very nice and peaceful.

We had a great time. It was very clean. The pool was very nice. My daughter and grandchildren loved it. It was very relaxing. Great location. Minutes from everything. The beach is a couple of blocks away.
