Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jeffery K. 14 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy Condo was great. Beach walkway and beach access was amazing!! Amenities not so much. Air conditioning didnt work right, charges money to use the heat for the pool, and the oven was broken. Was very disappointed the heat for the pool wasn’t included in the cost considering how much it was to rent the place during off season. Before you know it, you will be charged to use the icemaker feature on the refrigerators. If it comes with the pool, and you advertise it’s a heated pool. Don’t hide it in the fine print. And if you’re going to charge to use it, include it in the condo rent and not an “extra expense option”. That’s just my opinion and I hope if someone reads this review they will know it cost more for that. We didn’t see it until it was pointed out to us by the property manager. And then wanted us to pay for it knowing it takes days for it to reach full heat and we didn’t have that much time to wait. Personally I would not recommend this one to a friend. ##### Jeffery K.
