It had obviously been renovated recently. Great location. Wonderful to have a small kitchenette. Close to downtown and easy beach access. Needs a Major deep clean. The shower curtain was black on the bottom. I appreciate that they told us how many towels were included so I could bring more for how many we use. ##### Whitney P.

Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Chris S. 8 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Review Condo is nice and well updated. The community is older but maintained okay. The weekend security guard was a nice bonus checking people as they entered. He even found my mother in laws watch she left at the pool. The pools are nice and much larger/deeper (7feet) compared to other places near by. The walkover to the beach is great for photos and is scenic. If you don’t rent a golf cart this walkover is a must! We enjoyed our stay! ##### Chris S.
