Check in and out was great. We utilized and enjoyed the pool and the gate being right in front of our deck! However, there was dirt on the floor upon arrival and just overall dirty. The washer was moldy and smelled. Furniture could be updated. However, would probably stay again with my family of 5.

Close to the beach!

The room was very close to the beach, short walking distance. Very clean beach and not crowded for August. Met a lot of nice neighbors out by the pool and was very enjoyable. The room was very cute! Only issue I had was with cleanliness. Bedding and sheets were clean, other items not so much. Reached out to property management who offered a few resolutions to remedy the issue quickly. They were very responsive and professional. Hopefully this issue will be addressed going forward. If so I would definitely revisit this room.

Perfect location

Condo was very clean upon arrival. The kitchen was stocked very well. I really liked the boxes packed with kitchen and bathroom products! I was thankful for the extra trash bags as we had forgot to bring/buy prior to our stay. We did enjoy the convenience of being by the pool; although, other guest did not abide by pool open times most every night (was a bit noisy). My only recommendation would be add a few small throws for the living room and have the housekeepers to bleach the mold from the washer seal. Overall, we really had no true complaints and enjoyed our stay! The kids enjoyed the toy box and we donated a few mesh bags to tote the toys. We’d choose this unit again!

We enjoyed our stay and cant wait to come back. Our condo was perfect and we loved the pool access and easy beach access from our condos back doorstep. The kiddos being able to walk out the door straight to the pool was awesome.

Spring break vacation

Property is clean and situated close to beach , restaurants and activities. This is our second stay here during spring break in the exact same condo. Only downfall was this year there were a group of inconsiderate people staying there also who were up till 3 am being loud and using the pool. I called the property management group but they were not able to help. I was thankful it was only the last 3 nights of our vacation that they were noisy all night. Minus this… I recommend staying here.

Family Friendly

Overall this is a very nice property and was close to the beach and pool. Beds and furniture were comfortable and the kids had a blast. Only complaint would be that they are very strict on a 4pm check in. We got into town early due to flights and it was a bit inconvenient that the unit wasn’t available until exactly 4 despite being ready hours earlier. We know it was ready because we sat at the pool waiting for 2 hours. Aside from that minor inconvenience we had a great trip and was happy with the condo. Plan to bring or buy all of your own seasonings and basic cooking supplies that are often left at other properties. The unit had all the pots pans etc but there wasn’t even a salt and pepper shaker to be found.
