We have two boys. One who loves the beach and the other loves the pool. So we were able to split our time to enjoy both. The view from the balcony is absolutely gorgeous. The condo is very clean and everything that you need is there. Shopping for groceries was very close by. We cooked breakfast and dinner everyday! Our boys absolutely love staying here and when we showed them that we had booked the same EXACT condo as a few years before they were so excited. This is always be our go to if available for our dates of travel. The beach is clean and not very populated which we love since we have children. We found so many beautiful whole seashells and my oldest son actually found a perfect sand dollar! The sunset is gorgeous and the walk on the beach at sunset was very relaxing and peaceful. Definitely will be booking again. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/83b3d3ff-68ab-47c0-9d2f-0bb3046be1ff-1748816587596.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9573aa72-408e-4a44-a439-1fa407fa8f03-1748816588199.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/22de1477-07ca-4a54-aa68-34842993b2ec-1748816582765.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c106a846-1c95-4214-b0f8-a1d7318c185a-1748816585730.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Morgan B.

Such a great location, walked to several places. Beach was calm & in a quiet spot. The condo itself had everything you could think of and more. Beach chairs, umbrella, even aloe Vera in the bathroom! The kitchen was well stocked with pots & utensils. A few more spices & some oil olive would’ve been nice. The beds & the couch are super comfy. I’d totally stay again! ##### Caitlyn S.

Unusually cold while there, so it was nice to come back to a warm apartment after a cold walk on the beach. Everything in working order, partial view of ocean nice, and even though we didn't use the pool, saw some use it even at 46°. Thanks 😊 ##### KJ W.

A few small problems: The pull-out couch is NOT comfortable for an adult, and the "conventional coffee maker" is a Keuric with one refillable cup -- which made coffee-making for a group messy and cumbersome. Would we come again, though? You bet!! ##### Anne D.

This is our 3rd time staying at this condo and. 2nd time in this same unit. We loved it the last time we stayed and loved it again. The condo was perfect for our needs! We will be back! Lauren was always available if you have any questions. She is the perfect condo host. Thank you again Lauren for giving our family another amazing vacation in your condo!!!! ##### Kelli F. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Grant W. 16 Feb 2018 #### As described The condo is as described. My only complaint would be the appliances are older than the condo itself. The fridge had a broken handle, the dryers knob was broke,..... Besides that the condo is decorated nicely and the beach is beautiful. ##### Grant W. Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Todd B. 2 Jan 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Great Location - tired property. Property needs some TLC. 2 broken hair dryers (still mounted to the wall) 2 closet doors that fall off their tracks on 1 opening, no bedding for pull-out couch (minimal), bedding needs to be upgraded/swapped with new. Cabinet in bathroom hangin on 1 hinge, new faucet needed in bathroom (ensuite), mold on shower curtain. Condo needs TLC. ##### Todd B. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2021 ### 4/10 Poor #### Pamala H. 8 May 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Great Location! Needs major update and cleaning. This is our second time at this condo. The owner is sweet, easy to communicate with, and very accommodating! THE LOCATION IS AMAZING!! The property itself is well-maintained and clean. We loved the beach items (especially the chairs). The first time we stayed in this unit (about 5 years ago) we LOVED it! Unfortunately, we did not enjoy our stay as much this trip. The unit we stayed in is in need of a deep cleaning, fresh paint, and overall update of EVERYTHING. Our linens (especially those for the pull-out bed) were extremely dusty and old. There was a lack of pillowcases throughout. The mattress on the pull-out couch is completely worn out. The pillows provided were old and flat. Several outlets do not hold plugs. The carpet in the bedroom is worn, buckling, and extremely dirty. We were surprised that nothing had been updated at all. Unfortunately, we will not be returning to this unit. ##### Pamala H. Stayed 5 nights in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Tammy W. 19 Jun 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Pros and Cons for Your Review We stayed in this condo for 5 nights in June. I have thought about how to rate the rental to be fair as a renter and to the owner, as I appreciate reading feedback from others. Pros: -Excellent location on the beach - can walk to restaurants and activities, lounge chairs & cabana available to rent -Pool area and pool bathroom was clean and well kept, and plenty of space when we were there -Easy booking accommodations and communication with the owner were strong and frequent. I appreciated having direct access to the owner for questions and help. -Access to the unit was easy with the keypad and getting the parking pass -Able to book for less than a week which is helpful when splitting a trip between two locations; was able to pay for a late check-out due to availability of the unit -Provided beach chairs and an umbrella (we used one folding chair), a cooler and icepacks, boogie boards, and beach towels -Curtains in the main room and primary bedroom were great -Deck was nice for reading or eating -Welcome binder was helpful for restaurants and activities -Starter toiletries, paper goods, and kitchen essentials were available -Was able to fit two parents and two older teens well Cons:-Primary bedroom bed and pillows were not comfortable -Parking for our mid-sized SUV along the fence line was possible this week, but all the spots were full at night. If we weren't there early enough to get a spot, our rental car would not have fit into the designated parking number, and I am not sure what we would have done. This is not on the owner to fix, but helpful to be aware of as a renter. -Unit did not feel clean overall other than a surface level dusting/cleaning - everything is grimy and old - dishes in the cabinets had dried food on them, shower heads need to be replaced as they are very old, cushions on the dining chairs are dirty, all closets, cabinets, shelves, and open spaces need to be deep cleaned, felt the need to wear socks or flip flops in the unit, washing machine/dryer is old, and it sounds as if the washing machine (very loud during each load) has bearing or other mechanical issues that need to be fixed or replaced - overall it was not a relaxing space for our family to come back to after a day out at the beach, pool or another activity but we would stay at the Vistas again. I did not share this during our stay with the owner because nothing needed to change while we were there. It is more to provide feedback for the future. ##### Tammy W. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2022
