The property was visible clean but the musty, bug spray smell was overwhelming. The A/C did not work but the property contact was quick to assist in resolving the issue. The check in process in the email was clear. The outside of building needs updating but overall experience was okay.

Location was very nice. The facility is older than a lot of others around it and was having trouble with a hot tub and pool heat. The internet was marginal and made tv watching different at times. Condo was clean and nicely decorated. The front desk people were very helpful getting you checked in and to your designated parking and condo.

The room was clean. The kitchen is more of a kitchenette. They provided decaf coffee, lots of towels but no blankets. They were only sheets on the main bed. We took the single blanket off the bunk bed. The shower flooded and wouldn’t drain. It was gunky shower floor because it couldn’t be cleaned properly. We were traveling so we had to shower. The hot tubs were broken during our stay. Overall the place worked I just wish some amenities were better described, blankets, and the shower not draining was super frustrating. Property manager nice but unable to correct those issues as they needed to let the owner know. Views were lovely.

Nice accommodations for the price. Clean condo with a few amenities. Internet is non existent, If you want Television it is all internet based so you cannot watch tv. Would like to see more instructions on how to operate convection oven and washer/drier, ( it is one unit that does both.)

Cute apartment, very clean and comfortable. It was a little tight with 4 adults but it worked fine for just a weekend at the beach. Beautiful balcony that overlooked a courtyard with a nice view of the Gulf. We had a lovely time.

Check in was quick and simple. The condo is exactly as pictured online. It was clean and tidy and perfect for me and my 2 young children. We had a blast during our week there. Beach is walking distance. We never used the pools but we saw the cleaners out there every day so the pools looked awesome and people were out there playing. Would definitely stay here again!
