Very comfortable and clean. Nice quiet location very near the beach and pool and restaurants. I would have preferred a larger balcony space. ##### sally K. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Rhonda 22 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities House was in a good location close to town and the beach. Had 3 bedrooms and lots of sitting area in the living room. The cons we experienced were no outside lights so it was hard to see the stairs at night and one of the bedrooms had a broken tv stand and no cables to use it. I had rented this house for everyone in our group to have a tv to watch at bedtime so that was disappointing. House was right across the community road from the pool which was nice and liked that it was dog friendly. We would stay here again though ##### Rhonda Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Lee M. 24 Jun 2024 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### DO NOT BOOK The good: I was allowed to move my check in date to the right to avoid the storm and was also allowed to check in about 2 hours early. The bad: had no internet the entire stay which was linked to the TV so no TV the entire stay. The bath room in the mast was dirt had long black hairs in the shower, the light cover in the kitchen had a larger amount of dead bugs. There was long black hair on the floor in one of the bedrooms. The TV which had been mentioned in the previous review from April is still broken. The porch and down stairs light which was also mentioned in the review from April is still not working. There is a statue of a mermaid in the living room that is I appreciate for young children this should be replaced or removed. The mattress in all bedrooms were as if you were sleeping on the floor. They should all be replaced. The maintenance crew replaced the refrigerator, at the time of replacement they stated they would return in a few hours to plug it in and leave the refrigerator, they plugged it in however failed to level it. Upon a second service call to check the internet the required leveling of the refrigerator was mentioned again which they stated they would be back to level the refrigerator at check out today this task has yet to be completed. I attempted to contact the property management about the internet every day of my stay they sent out management on Friday who call the internet providers automated system with no changed in the results, with no change. ##### Lee M.

Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Amanda C. 10 Sept 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The home was nice. There were little things such as remotes not working, wrong Wi-Fi name, password, lights. We spent our time at the beach so it was ok. I didn’t find it to be walking distance. Still need to drive but it’s only a few blocks away. Management was quick to respond and the pool is right in front of us. Overall great stay. ##### Amanda C. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Esmeralda C. 20 Jul 2025 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness It was a great location to have with our family, since it was right in front of the pool.The two bedrooms were kind of crowded and the beds were very firm. Yay for most, but not for some. The master bedroom was very spacious. The kitchen was very spacious for cooking and came with so many pans, pots and utensils.The living space did seem very cramped. We threw some of our swim wear into the washer and dryer but, the dryer took a couple cycles to dry our suits. On the last cycle this morning, it broke down. The condo did seem dirty though, there was some trash and an old bottle in the closets and under the beds. The sofas are also a bit worn down with stains and some of the lamps were not working or broken. Needs a bit of TLC, but it is a great location for the pool and beach down the road! ##### Esmeralda C. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charles S. 23 Aug 2025 ##### Charles S.
