Condo was clean, quiet and had all the amenities we needed for our trip. The location and grounds were beautiful. Communication with property management was very good and would definitely consider staying here again.

Can't beat the location!

We enjoyed our one night stay. Wish we could have stayed longer. Being steps from the beach was the best part. Our kids also enjoyed spending time in the pool.

We had to sleep first night with non working AC (80 degrees) and dirty cover mattress. Property manager offered another room for next day and this one was perfect. Great property management. Some apartments in very bad condition so be careful which one you are assigned to. Direct access to the beach.

Terrific place to stay!

The rooms were very comfortable. Nice having set up so we were actually in the same basic space but each had our own bedroom. Next time we'll choose a bottom floor being no elevator. The beach and it's view is gorgeous but we still were dealing with red tide so didn't go on the beach much after wiggling our feet in the beautiful sand to find a rotting fish under our feet. But I was aware of it, just didn't want to cancel a long awaited trip. Besides that, there was so much to do, we didn't mind. Would definitely stay again.

Property Not Up to Standards

This unit was two one bedrooms that were combined to make a two bedroom unit, not an actual two bedroom unit. We stayed in one bedroom and had to walk through the other bedroom to get to the kitchen and living area, awkward. There are minor maintenance issues: broken window blinds, refrigerator shelves and drawers that don't work properly, covers missing from light fixtures. We had to leave the unit on our final day so that the A/C could be repaired - not acceptable. The paper products and toiletries provided were a very cheap quality. Not enough bed covers, blankets. Love the location but the condo needs some work.

Excellent STAY HERE

Even though it was FREEZING we still had an excellent time. I would of like to had an extension cord as the only plug in was behind the bed with really no access to it. So we had to leave our phones charging on the floor. Not a big deal but just a suggestion. Kitchen table is super annoying when trying to eat as it moves back and forth. Again something minor.. Thanks again for allowing us to stay we had a fantastic time we will return.

Nice rental

Rating Details: The property manager was more than 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: This was a nice rental close to the beach. The property was as advertised and clean. Our only complaint was the dishwasher was really old and had a bad smell. I saw a new one in a box in the main office. Maybe a replacement? Check in easy, check out we waited a while for someone to show up but was fast and easy. It is true that you have to walk through the bedrooms to get into the place but we didn't mind. Enjoyed ourselves.

Great location; room outdated & needs better maintenance

Bobbi at the front was extremely helpful & accommodating. She did her best to make sure we enjoyed our stay. The room has an odd layout where you enter through a bedroom. That's fine if it's a hotel. I was under the impression this was more like a living style condo. We wanted a 2 bedroom and the entrance from the 2nd bedroom into the living area & kitchen was through our bedroom. The bathroom was really old with worn out caulking & deep black mold areas. The shower doors were the old, sliding ones that can easily come off the track. The bed was comfortable. Newer tv only in the king bedroom with HDMI ability . DVD & CD player was available in living room. A great benefit was access to the fitness center at their sister property 1/2 mile down.

Great location but

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really liked this rental but for $3000 a week there are things that need addressed. You could not unlock the door from the outside to our adjoining room, the chairs on the patio need new webbing and the refrigerator and microwave are starting to rust. The beds were comfortable however the pullout sofa bed was not. We had plenty of beach towels and linens in the apartment. We had a lot of paddle board equipment and it was difficult taking upstairs from the long walk from the parking lot.

Rating Details: 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: Our reservation at another resort got mixed up. We arrived on a Friday and had no place to sleep. We were able to get a one day reservation in a lovely resort, clean and close to where we had to go the next day and the price was absolutely in our budget. Kind and helpful staff and Vacation saved!

Great Place on the Beach

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: Lovely place with amazing location and view. We really liked our rental and it was fully furnished with everything we needed. The property manager was extremely helpful and friendly, Margaret I think was her name. We are coming back at the beginning of January to enjoy the beach and property once again. The price was very reasonable. The unit is a little older, but in very good condition and clean.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been coming to this same place and staying in this same suite for many years. We were HIGHLY disappointed with the significant increase in the overall expense and then NOT honoring the discount for frequent stayers. We really are contemplating going elsewhere next year. Also the owner did not renew daily service for the suite so we had to clean ourselves and go for extra towels and supplies. Another reason to be very DISAPPOINTED
