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.

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.

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!

You get what you pay for.

Overall, great stay outside of the condo looking dingy but the inside of the condo made up for it.The only issue was communication with the owners was not up to par by any means. Tried to get in contact with somebody tied to the rental numerous times and never got a response back. Other than that we had a great time.MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD THE COMPANIES APP.literally didn’t have the check in instructions until other reviews told us what to do to check in and out.

As expected at this price

Property reminded me of staying in a motel 6 in terms of cleanliness and comfort. I’m not completely opposed to it my my wife was. Several dead & alive crickets at arrival. Slightly sandy floors. Shower needs a deep clean around the bottom edges, it has that old look like it has been very well cleaned. Wine glass in the fridge on arrival. Size was nice for a couple nights and quiet. The back has a nice dock to fish off, no bites on anything big on live shrimp or perch, but good to get bait fish and live shrimp with the cast net. Has a nice pool, wish it was hotter out to use it. I’d stay here again, but wife wouldn’t.

Horrible

Nothing good to say. Moldy shower, toilet runs constantly, and apparently no one owns a vacuum that manages this property. Folded out the futon and so much food an roaches came out it was disgusting. Bought sheets to out on top of bedding because it couldn’t be trusted. Didn’t even unpack because I didn’t want to bring home your bugs.
