The location of the property and the view of the beach are wonderful. This property is dated and small and left the people in our group thinking the cost for three nights was too much!

Beautiful view and perfect for our family!

We were pleasantly surprised that the photos and description of this property were accurate. The condo exceeded our expectations! We enjoyed coffee on the balcony every morning with the beautiful view. And our kids loved being able to go back and forth between the beach and the pool easily.

The elevator was out of service both upon arrival and leaving. Lugging loads of suitcases up and down 5 flights of stairs with a toddler in the rain is far from ideal. The only ice machine available was out of service, as well. There is no bathroom on the main level to utilize when coming to/from beach or by the pool.

Much needed break

The condo provided everything we needed and more. The location was great. The parking attended(Danny) was the best. Tge only problem was the upstairs guest let their children run at all hrs keeping my daughter awake.

Overall the property worked well for the 7 of us. There is no laundry in the unit. There is a laundry room on the first floor with coin laundry. It would have been so much better with kids to have laundry in the unit.

Pretty nice

Was a small 3 bedroom condo. Overall clean but there was used qtips next to bed and sock under edge of recliner- need to clean round furniture. Beautiful view. Nice having closet of beach things that could be used. Couple of the security guys was rude but there was one very nice. Only get 2 parking passes for 3 bedroom condo.
