Great location & price

For the price this unit is hard to beat. I enjoy the fishing dock and being so close to the beach. The bathroom was remodeled and is very nice. I would suggest if you were staying for a length of time and plan on cooking to bring your own pans and utensils. I was also disappointed that they didn’t offer early check-in.

The location of this condo is great; under 10 minutes to walk to the beach. But the property is more rundown than the pictures indicate. The floors were extremely dusty, like it hadn’t been swept in weeks, never-mind vacuumed, which it desperately needed. A light came on automatically every night at the back door with no ability to turn it off which was a problem since 1/3 of the blinds are missing. If you are light or noise sensitive, this is not the place for you since I could also hear the upstairs neighbor stomping around all night. There are minimal dishes in the kitchen, no hair dryer (I didn’t even think to check if this would be included since it seems like such an obvious/ inexpensive thing to provide) and no loungers by the pool. The linens were clean and plentiful, the air conditioning work well, and the bathroom was in fairly good repair and cleanliness.

Disappointing

This condo is more rundown than the pictures seem to indicate. The floors were covered in dust, like it hadn’t been swept in weeks, never-mind given a solid vacuum, which it needs. There are minimal dishes in the kitchen and no hair dryer provided (I didn’t even think to check if that would be provided since it’s such a small expense and most vacation rentals have figured that out.) A light at the back door came on automatically every night with no ability to turn it off which was a problem since 1/3 of the blinds are missing on the patio door. If you are noise-sensitive, I wouldn’t recommend this place as I could hear the upstairs neighbor stomping around at all hours of the night. There are also no loungers by the pool. The linens were clean and plentiful, the bed was comfortable, the air conditioning worked well and the washroom was in decent repair and cleanliness.

Nice clean room. Comfortable bed and cold AC. Very close to beach. Clean pool. A value for the cost. Excellent comunicstion with host. Only suggestion would be to have some type of air freshener in the room. I think it is very hard to keep an ocean side unit not smelling mildewey. Other than that...it was a very pleasant stay.

Review

The cleanliness they have planning out of towels we had the pool all to ourselves, and the view outside by the pool is very calm and relaxing There were no issues except for one small detail. The light switch will not turn off unless you turn off the switch on the wall and that turns off the ceiling fan as well. We wanted to keep the fan on but without the light at night and that did not work so we had to unscrew the lightbulbs to have some airflow but without the light so we could sleep other than that everything else was super awesome. The lightbulbs were put back on before we left in the morning.

Very quiet and close to beach

We absolutely loved this place except for a few issues the main one being trash cans full in the pool area that smelled like something died in them and was there our entire stay so using the pool was not really an option unfortunately. The other things were minor! We absolutely loved our room it was very clean and well stocked of linens, towels and kitchen cookware. We will definitely be coming back again soon!
