Great place for family

The place was spacious and clean. We like the spot as it was close to the pool. The location was 4 minutes away from the beach driven. Will definitely save the location for next time.

Family Beach Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a beautiful time in this beach home. Access to the pools were so helpful and we had enough space for our big family to enjoy everything. My two babies had a lot of fun in the backyard as well! The only couple things we may have needed was blankets and a broom so we could sweep up the sand that trickled in from our beach visits. Everything else was perfect and we had such a great time!

Great place for our family!

We, a family of 5 (kids 2-8) and grandparents, stayed here for 5 nights and had a blast! The place was very clean and felt new and nice. The kitchen had tons of dishes for everyone and plenty of things to prepare meals with. The little backyard was actually great, good size to sit in the Adirondack chairs and for kids to play catch in. Location was great- a couple minute drive to the beach and easy to get to a grocery store or restaurant. Nice having one bedroom on the ground floor for someone who doesn’t do well with steps. The pool area was great and our kids had a blast on the slides. We’d definitely recommend this place and would stay here again for sure!

Clean property

The property was very clean. It is more than a 8 min walk to the beach. I would recommend taking your car or renting a golf cart.

The condo was clean and in overall good condition however the ac stayed 10 degrees hotter downstairs (even over night with no-one going in and out of the condo) when maintenance showed up 8 hours after contacting them their only suggestion was to close the vents off upstairs so it would blow harder downstairs.. the dryer did not work and the fridge took 24 hours to cool as if it had been shut off prior to our stay. The trash cans around the grilling area located right outside of the condo were over flowing when we checked in and smelled awful. When we called maintenance to have them change it out they said they had already been informed by other guests but still took 24 hours before emptying them. The pools were nice and clean and the fishing docs were easily accessible. Nice place but for the price i expected it to be better maintained.

Great location leaky ceiling

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I really liked the location. The problem was the ceiling was leaking from the second floor to the first floor. Plaster falling to the ground. I am 68 years old and slipped on the floor where the ceiling was leaking and almost did the splits.
