Good, but could be better.

Sand on the floor when we arrived. A few things could've been fixed. The sheets felt cheap and scratchy. Bed too hard. It was our 3rd time there and overall, we like it, but next time we'll probably look for someplace better even though it will cost more.

Great getaway

Staff was very nice. It was wonderful that our apartment was so close to the beach the only downfall would be that there were limited restaurants/shopping within walking distance from the resort- we chose not to rent a car and just get some R&R. We were able to walk to a couple restaurants. Overall, we really enjoyed ourselves, and would come back!

Bathtub bad shape

The beach was great and made it all worthwhile. The pool was nice but we did not use it because of the weather. The dishes in the cabinets were not clean we had to wash them before using them. We figured out the soap door on the dishwasher was not opening so thats why dishes were not coming clean. T When we checked in we were warned that the bathtub was certainly clean even though it didn't look like it. And it was. It was clean but the finish was gone on it and everything was orange and rusty. Hinges and fixtures were rusty. All was liveable and not the end of the world but it didnt get that way over night so if I were the owner I would not have rented it out that way. Room was supposed to have a partial ocean view but not the case. Shrubs in front of porch blocked the view. Overall it was an ok stay. The beach was perfectly beautiful and there were plenty of beach chairs and umbrellas

LBK is a great place to vacation or spend a long weekend. Quiet, private beaches with easy access to good restaurants nearby. This location is a great choice… lounge chairs and umbrellas provided… You set them up but they are free to use and there were always chairs available.

It was perfect! Clean quiet and on the beach. We really enjoyed our experience. Having a full kitchen gave us ease on having to go out to eat and allowed us to enjoy the beach and pool more. Definitely will book again. Highly recommend.
