Wonderful location to beach access!
The property was as listed. Check in was flawless. Roberto, our host called within minutes of checking in and was very kind and was very approachable from booking to check out! All the starter amenities were provided, toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, laundry soap, Soft soap hand wash kitchen and bath. Linens bedrooms/bath were fresh and clean. Kitchen appliances, sink and Bathroom toilet sink and shower were fresh and clean. Overall a nice place. Could use fresh paint and tile/grout on floors need thorough cleaning. Very much enjoyed our stay!

close to beach access
enjoyed the close beach access and ability to eat at Palm and close to main areas. if you stay on a weekend, keep in mind the bar behind the fence plays music until late hours.

Roberto is awesome!
We had a small problem with the dishwasher/ power. Roberto and his team got the outlet replaced ASAP! This condo is half a block from beach access and convenient to restaurants. The condo is not 5 star but it is tidy and has everything that you need.
