Yes it was a 3rd floor walk up but that breeze & view from the porch made it totally worth the climb. We had no issues with the property throughout our stay. The location is perfect. I was surprised to love the pool as much as I did with the beach right there. I hope to reserve the same spot again next year. ![The porch was our favorite spot](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e9898b60-1e24-4d8c-9588-97a3e16e7bd2-1752335116631.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Melanie T. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Melissa M. 27 Apr 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good stay, with a few issues and suggestions Overall this was a good size condo and great location overlooking the ocean. Lots of flights and stairs to walk up, which was indicated- but just for people to note this. We had a few maintenance issues that was addressed in 24 hours- the fridge water and ice did not work and the TV did not work- all worked after maintenance came. There was no soap in any of the soap dispensers. It is clear that this is run by a company and not by a person. No personal touches, and having to work through different avenues of the company to get help in different areas- different contacts for maintenance, rental, and cleaning service with the delay in having to wait. And basic things not working because they are not checked prior to guests arrival. ##### Melissa M. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Eric H. 6 Apr 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Loved it Great location and excellent accommodation ##### Eric H. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Jim P. 19 Oct 2020 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### quick beach getaway 2 bed; 1 ba condo; oceanfront; excellent view, party because it was a 3rd story walk up, but at the beach everything is built up 15 ft in the air, so its really a 4th floor walk up! The kitchen was recently renovated and that was good, although small. The rest of the place was in need of a renovation. The cable TV didn't have much on and there was no way to hook up to streaming services. The king bed was VERY uncomfortable. ##### Jim P. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2020 ---
