We already knew the pool and elevators were not available yet and area was still under construction. But we had a wonderful stay. The beach is so close by and we could cook in room if we wanted. I would definitely return here!
We stayed for 6 days at the beginning of March. The weather was pretty nice, with a few cool mornings. Easy access to the beach. Still a lot of construction noise going on , but that was expected. We had to switch units for our last day/night which was inconvenient due to 3rd party overbooking, but were notified of that prior to our stay. Both units we stayed in were very nice and very clean.
Beautiful condo, steps from the beach, perfect place for a getaway!

Very clean and comfortable.
