Absolutely perfect!!!

This condo was PERFECT!! Unit 103 is awesome! First floor! Right off the elevator! Could not have picked a better condo! Pristine clean, well stocked, very roomy (have you ever heard of a condo w/ 2 Lazy-boy recliners?!) , HUGE balcony with great poly wood furniture! Can NOT say enough good things about the unit and the whole complex! Very nice pool and NO steps on the boardwalk to the beach! No steps is a HUGE plus to us with our beach wagon! Thank you for a perfect vacation!!

Great time, great location. The only that could have made it better would have been less people on vacation. Wow it was busy this year.

Great location!

The property is very nicely decorated. Comfortable beds. Sliding doors to the deck could have been cleaner so we could see the beautiful view. Had to ask property manager to send necessary documents several times and it was difficult to get return calls/texts. Location is great. They are still renovating the building from the last hurricane but the pool was open.

Best Unit Ever

We stayed in a different condos each year for the past five years. Check in/out was easy! This was the best unit! Although we didn’t cook the unit was extremely well stocked with everything imaginable! The space was so nice and comfortable. The furniture on the balcony was awesome. The extremely short distance to the beach was awesome. The only two downsides 1) cable for TV - not much variety to watch at night and 2) the parking is terrible! Not enough parking for each unit and unless you were in early you had to park across the street - not real thrilled about that. .

very easy access to the beach

The unit was very clean, and the kitchen was well equipped and the bed was very comfortable. It was just a few moments to the beach. The bathrooms were well appointed and clean, however they would not be wheelchair accessible. We enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful Beach Front Balcony

The location of the condo is ideal! The balcony is shaded all day long. The direct view of the beach is amazing! It was nice to enjoy the beach and ocean without always being on the sand. Just two flights down the stairs and we were on the walking bridge to the beach. We loved the roominess of the condo for our family of 5. The kitchen is fully stocked and we lacked for nothing. Excellent stay!

We arrived on Saturday and sadly left on Monday due to Hurricane Sally. As she trended easterly, we realized we would be right in her path. We liked the property very much and it fit the needs of our family with 2 special needs boys.

Great location, kitchen well stocked, could have used a few more towels but we washed every day so wasn’t a problem. There was a dirty towel hanging the guest bath when we checked in.
