The condo was wonderful! Everything is updated and very nice; there is lots of room in the main living area so you’re not tripping over one another. The view from the balcony was wonderful!The ocean and pool were a little cold for us, so we did not get to enjoy those as much, but the property was fantastic.

Breathtaking, beautiful, comfort.

The condo is beautiful. It was decorated fun, beachy, and comfortable. It was a great size in my opinion. There’s lots of family space. The view is incredible. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you can think of. I could go on and on. I don’t have anything negative to say about this condo. My family and I loved it and will book again next year.

Very nice unit and location

Great updated, clean unit. I've stayed in multiple times over the last few years. It has comfortable beds and a well stocked kitchen compared to other places I've stayed. My only complaint is the property management company. Two of my last 3 stays were interrupted by scheduled maintenance that was not communicated to us until after check-in. Having service people in the unit while on vacation isn't comforting to me, when I'm there to relax.

Perfect.

This is our second year we have stayed in the condo. First of all, it’s beautiful. Second it’s stocked with anything you would need. Third it has a game cabinet with fun family games. I can’t say enough good things about it. The property is great too. The pool, the cleanliness, the tiki bar by the pool, the access to the beach. Also, there’s not much traffic because you’re a little further down the beach. Front Beach road can get really crowded, but you’re close enough to get anywhere on and around Front Beach if that’s what you like.We will be back next year for sure. Every year hopefully.

Amazing view

We had double red flags 2 of our 4 days so I really enjoyed sitting on the balcony and soaking in the view! That was truly my favorite. Living area was super comfortable and again, the view made the stay worth the money. Here are my only very minor complaints. The oven mitts and pot holders had burnt food on them and maybe some melted cheese. I ended up washing them before we left. The basic cooking pans/skillets were sparse. Would love to come back and stay again. Maybe during a different time of the year where we could actually enjoy the beach more.

Gorgeous apartment at the beach front!

The apartment already appealed to us in the advertisement. We then rented the apartment for a week at the end of October, beginning of November. The apartment corresponded exactly to the photos in the advertisement and surprised us very positively. The lovely furnishings and beautiful details made us feel at home right from the start. Check-in and check-out were very easy and uncomplicated (email with access code and further information). The apartment is ideally located, all the necessary stores and restaurants can be reached in a few minutes by car. Thank you for the unforgettable time and the extended summer days before our return trip to Switzerland. We would love to come back!

Great space! and Great Beach!

Living room with spacious, with plenty of seating. Dining room table is the perfect size. The second bedroom was a great size and nice. The master bedroom had a beautiful view. The whole entire Ocean side is windows with beautiful views. The only bad is the master bed, the big dip in it. The master bathroom was nice but the shower had a small amount of black goo growing in it. The bad was, it was also on the shower head that we had to clean off ourselves. We didn't contact them about it because we cleaned it ourselves. They may want to inspect after the cleaning is done!
