Our only issue was the check in process where we needed to pick up the key and welcome package at another location. It was dark and hard to see but it worked out. It may have been easier if we did this during daylight hours but it was hard to navigate in the dark. It didn't change the way we like the place and would stay again. ##### Michael R.

Much dirt and grime. Crums inside of the oven . Stains on built in drawers in the bedroom, chipped and dented furniture. Light didn’t work over the sink. Hair on the shower wall. Hair and dirt on the bathroom floor, Strings of hair on the sofa sleeper . I did a lot of cleaning although charged a cleaning fee.Dent on the fridge, So much grime and dirt buildup in the corners and floor trim. I was told it’s an old building.

The location is great (great access to the beach) and they responded to my communications promptly... however the condo is not very clean or well kept and the listing is misleading. The beds are extremely hard and for me uncomfortable and there is NO elevator even though it says there is in the listing. ##### Nicole S.

Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kayla S. 13 Jul 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Overall Great Vacay…just a few things Overall Experience:We had a wonderful vacation and thoroughly enjoyed our time at the property.Location – 10/10The location was absolutely perfect. Being right on the beach was the highlight of our stay and made for a truly relaxing experience.Cleanliness – 5/10While the unit was not in unacceptable condition, (which is why we didn’t raise any issues during our stay.) However, it could benefit from a thorough deep cleaning. The baseboards appeared to have built-up dirt, there were visible spills on some walls, and the AC unit vents had a noticeable layer of dust and hair. Private Beach Access – 6/10The private beach access gate was problematic. The code often didn’t work on the first attempt and required multiple tries—sometimes up to 7 or 8\. Additionally, the handle on the beach-facing side was broken, which made entering from the beach side particularly difficult and frustrating, often taking up to 10 minutes —definitely something that could be improved.Bed Comfort – 1/10Unfortunately, the comfort of the sleeping arrangements was a major drawback. The bed was extremely firm to the point of being uncomfortable, and the pull-out sofa was also difficult to sleep on. We would recommend bringing a mattress topper if possible. ##### Kayla S. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Joy L. 13 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Extra bed in the couch was broken We got to the property just fine. And it was just like the pictures. There was some dust bunnies in the ceiling, but it was decently clean. The only complaint I had was that when we pulled out the couch bed, some screws were missing and it would not lay flat. Our young children managed to sleep on it, but when I contacted the management team about it, they said thanks for the information and they take it seriously. But there was no follow up on it. Adults could definitely not sleep on it. The beach was beautiful and the rest of our experience was great. I’m just not for sure how they didn’t know about how the bed was so rickety. ##### Joy L.
