Since this is a unit that is privately owned, I was informed by the gal at the desk when I checked in to get my parking pass, that none of the amenities on the property were available to us, including laundry. I should’ve asked about that ahead of time, but that was the only downside. ##### Leona H. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jonathan M. 12 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Book It Now :) I can’t say enough good things about this place! From the views to the amenities it was absolutely perfect. The proximity to the pool and poolside bar is so convenient it is right there. With that being said it was so quiet! I don’t know what magic those sliding patio doors have but once they were closed you couldn’t hear anything. It was so nice to also have the screen door that we left open one night just to listen to the waves crashing against the shore. The Coconut Marketplace is so close and convenient for shops and food and we frequented there every day. I thoroughly enjoyed the view from the room with my coffee every morning and my little chicken friends that would come to visit. I am going to miss all of it so much! ##### Jonathan M.

Parking was a bit of an issue and getting out of the parking facility was very difficult at times. Being so close to the beach was really a plus. The property needs updated. We had issues with WiFi. We did find dead cockroaches and had a few live ones as well. Overall, our stay was good. The bed was comfortable and the grounds were lovely. For the most part the unit was clean. The lawn chairs for the facility down by the beach need to be replaced, as several were broken. Loved the beach and spending time at it just steps away from the unit. ##### Stephen D. Stayed 11 nights in Feb 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Karen H. 16 Apr 2023 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Location and view were exceptional BUT read on! The sofa bed was so bad!! This should not have been as suitable for 3 people. The bed needs replaced. My mistake in not noticing there was no dishwasher. Not enough towels for 3 people, especially for a 10 day stay. $70.00 fee for more towels. No laundry on site! ##### Karen H.

I called for maintenance because when we arrived the toilet wasn't flushing properly. He was here in 15min. I am not kidding. That fast. The sreen door lock was not working and I wanted to leave the door open at night. It was fixed right away. We locked our selves out one evening on the way to dinner the house keeper helped us get in within minutes. We weren't late for dinner reservation. I love this place.The location is right on the ocean. Beautiful! The location perfect half way to everything. ##### Marla B. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ---
