Excellent location! The ease of checking in and the communication was spot on. If you're looking for immaculate this isn't it. It has it's imperfections. I was able to overlook most of it since we wasn't in the room much. The dishwasher had hoses and bags in it, which I assumed it didn't work, I didn't try. The community balcony is literally steps from the front door. I enjoyed sitting out there a lot. I would definitely stay again. The kids and I had an amazing vacation!

Easy beach access

location was excellent! Only downfall was bathroom was super tiny, the kitchen light didn’t work and the air unit was EXTREMELY loud and roared at random times during the night. Also the power was shut off at 7am for maintenance which made packing a little difficult but would stay again!

Just an ok stay

Although we were in the the room very limited time as planned, it could use a deep cleaning and updated. The bathtub was not clean and had sand in the bottom, we were left only two towels for a 5 day stay (smaller towels), it needs an air purifier due to the musty smell, the kitchen drawer had dirty cutlery in it, a hair was on one of the pillows, the couches had stains on them and the living room light was blown. The owner was very responsive and brought extra towels for another person that was coming on Saturday and was very quick to fix the light that was out. I can’t say that I wouldn’t stay here again, but it would definitely need to be a little cleaner.

PERFECT SHORT GETAWAY

From booking to checking out, this was such an easy and fun experience. Julie communicates so well and is easy to get in touch with if needed. I didn’t need to, but she checked in periodically. The condo is so nice and was perfect for my short weekend visit!

Weekend beach trip

Condo was perfect for a weekend getaway. Had everything we found for cooking a meal. There were chairs and beach toys for the kids. The elevators were quick (unlike the higher condo around). The beach and pool was close and nice. So the little pool/beach shack snack bar we found the food to be very poor just our opinion.

Great getaway

The location was great. There was a little musty odor and towels smaller like smoke. Told the owner and she came right away that night to replace the towels. It was quite even during spring break. We really enjoyed it.

My family and I stayed at Julie's place for 3 nights. It's in a great location, beautiful pool and beach in your backyard. It had everything we needed. Our flight got in early and Julie even let us check in early. I wouldn't hesitate to use her condo again.

Filthy, and rude

This was my child’s 1st vacation, and we were so excited about this trip we don’t always get to splurge and take fun trips as soon as we opened the door and scoped out where we would be staying the next few days I felt let down, there was a closet that looked as if it were supposed to be locked, piled up to the roof with random items of course we didn’t touch anything but it was open when we arrived. We also noticed food and crumbs in the floor, there’s dust everywhere, stains on the rug,couch and curtains. Two heavily used sponges and a used scrub brush, and I understand Guest washing their own dishes. But before me and my family could eat our dinner we had to wash everything due to finger smudges and some type of dirt on the dishes. We had to go to Walmart and purchase clean sponges and cleaning products for ourselves to use so that we could place food into the freezer and refrigerator. Aswell clean out the bathtub so my child could take a bath. Underneath the freezer there was mold growing I indeed have pictures of everything we noticed and more little things throughout our stay. And for this matter I contacted The property owner Who first acted as she did not care. And I mentioned it once again and she insisted that she come and discuss the issues face-to-face and as soon as her arrival with her husband they were immediately rude and passive aggressive. We will not be back to this room and I advise everyone else to stay away too! Considering you’re paying a cleaning fee!
