The listing was accurate, the location was great, my only complaint was how bright the bedrooms were even with the curtains and/or shades drawn.

Beautiful resort. Location was perfect. Weather perfect! Condo was very nice, plenty of room, and great view! We had requested handicap so were expecting hand rails in shower, but there weren't any. Had to purchase shower mat to stand on because the tile in shower was very slippery. Other than that our week was perfect! We hope to come back again.

We had a great family vacation before the chaos of a new school year. The condo was beautifully furnished, well equipped with everything you would need and an easy walk to the beach, even with a toddler in tow!

This place was absolutely perfect for our family vacation! The check in / checkout process was super simple and easy, and we found the inside of the unit to be very clean, and we LOVED the view from the balcony. The beach cart, chairs, umbrella and toys were an awesome perk, no need to lug yours down in the car, or buy anything, and the quick walk over the bridge to the beach was super simple. It was also the best location ever because we could walk to all the restaurants and mini golf too. And can we take a minute to talk about the lazy river?!?! Honestly, this was one of the biggest selling points when we booked this place and it was every bit as magical as we imagined it would be. We will definitely be back~

We have never been to the area and we are thankful we chose here to stay. It was spacious, clean, fully stocked, comfortable seating and beds, and great views! We enjoyed waking up to the sunrise and being so convenient to the pools and beach! The location was less crowded and less busy. Everything was communicated well and when we had questions or needs, they were handled or answered in a timely manner. It was a great week and we are already looking to visit again in the fall or next year! It was an easy process to book, stay, and checkout when our vacation was over!

House was perfect and in the perfect location to all shopping and beaches. Loved that they had carts to bring stuff up to the fifth floor. It was a little loud with the pool area right there,but there are quiet hours so that was nice. House had everything we needed. Do wish there was simple things like salt and pepper as we didnt even think about spices,but thats minor details. The house was truly amazing.

We throughly enjoyed our stay this past week. The condo met every need that our family had. Our only concern was that the front room wasn't as cold as the rest of condo until we realized that there is 2 air units and that was a game changer. Everything was perfect. Lots of space for everyone and the location was just right. The Lazy River was a great way to end the day from the beach. Can't always go off what the weather says. Showers here and there but overall was beautiful. We spent our time when it rained doing our shopping and having family movie time that we never do when we are at home together. Thanks so much.

8/10

The rooms were spacious and the beds were comfortable. The half bath was cramped. The presentation of the condo was pristine. The kitchen had everything we needed, except a highchair, to include everything to setup a very nice dinner on a large table. The hot water lasted an amazingly long time for showers. The floors could use a bit of scrubbing as the soles of my infant daughters feet turned black the more she walked/crawled around. The master bedroom was unable to achieve much darkness during the day do to broken curtains so we used the bathroom for our childs' naps. One of the living room chairs had a spring poking out of the back. A pack and play was available. The showers could use mats or a non slip textured paint for safety as well as better shower heads that detach. The pools were kept clean and everyone around was very pleasant and friendly. Basic supplies were present such as dishwasher and washer detergent packets, toilet paper, trash bags, bars of soap, hand soap, coffee, some spices, cleaning tools like mop, broom, vacuum, and extra blankets and pillows for the pull out couch. Toys and beach gear was also present. The TV's had streaming services pre-signed in. The peer was great for fishing we caught catfish, bass, eel, brim, and a stingray. The location is great as its maybe a five minute walk to the beach and even less to a very nice restaurant. The kiddy pool is on the beach side of the resort/condominium. Wifi worked well with occasional spottiness.

The ease of renting, arriving and leaving was the best I’ve ever experienced. The location was great, beautiful views, easy walk to beach. Location was convenient to everything. Nice restaurant right next door. A little hard to get out of the complex due to the traffic, almost need a traffic light. Loved our stay.

Master also went out to the deck the bed was very comfortable and cozy. Large 2 sink counter, large jetted tub, nice 2 person walk in shower, toilet room and walk-in closet with ironing board and iron, a pack n play. The pools and spa were awesome.

Everything was Great!

8/10

Amenities and location was great for the family. Floors were dirty though. Everyone had black feet. Refrigerator light was out and a couple of the shelves were broken. Porch furniture very uncomfortable and beat up. Beds were comfortable. Bathrooms were clean. Kitchen well stocked but just too much in cupboards and drawers. Could use a little more organization. Loved the Keurig for morning coffee. Really could use a chest of drawers or something to put clothes in in the master bedroom. Loved the blinds in the back bedrooms. Kept those room really comfortable and dark in the morning. Can't say the same for the master bedroom. Much too bright in the morning. A couple of the blind slacks were broken. Living room furniture could use a good cleaning. All in all we would come back and stay again but I feel for what we paid the things I mentioned in my post would be in better condition.
