The only reason for 4 star on cleanliness was the lack of a clean before we arrived. We spoke to the office who were very apologetic and swiftly arranged a full excellent clean within the hour. Staff were excellent. Pool was great and amenities and location perfect. We will be back

The house was well maintained and was pleasant to live in except for one thing. The TV’s were very old and the screens were very small.

Reviewer Comments:
Like all the rentals at Cedars East, you’d better like stairs. They charged us 200.00 to use the clubhouse. Rip off. Not even the pool was open.

We enjoyed our stay at Cedars. Close to beach to places to eat. Everything we needed was a short distance away. The condo was a bit outdated but clean and was comfortable and had all we needed. The staff at Cedars was excellent. Very helpful and when or if we needed something it was addressed quickly. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.

Perfect Location
It was our 7th stay at Cedars. We stayed for 2 weeks in January 2016.
We`ve noticed improved efforts by house cleaning. Everything appeared tidy and clean.
Overall the staff was very friendly and cooperative.
The house was nicely furnished.
The location on LBK still is one of the best!
We will be back.
