This place has an old Florida vibe. It was a great place to enjoy a weekend with friends. The condo had everything we needed and easy walk to the beach. We saw some beautiful sunsets.

Reviewer Comments:
Very nice, quaint family place to stay. Nicely done rooms with all the necessities needed to feel like home. Beach was clean and not busy with the pool close by. We have stayed here 2 years in a row and will definitely be going back next year. The landscaping was being redone during our stay from the hurricane damage, and we can’t wait see it finished!

Reviewer Comments:
We wanted a vacation where we could get out of bed, and land on the beach & this met that expectation. We all had a great time, the kids loved the beach. It was nice & quiet and so relaxing.
We did arrive earlier than the 4pm check in time & could not get into the room until 4pm. So my advice is don't arrive early and expect to get into the room.
The room was clean, and exactly as described in the photos. The cooking pans & utensils are in need of replacement. If you have more than 4 people and book the suite with the extra room there is not a lot of sitting space in the living room. The sofa fits 2-3 people and the one chair needs a cushion replaced when you sit in it you sink.
We did call the front desk to let them know the bathroom tub in the suite was not draining, and no one came to look into it or call us back which was disappointing. Also there is no one at the front office all the time so it is a hit or miss to find someone to talk to. We were also under the impression that the rooms would be made up & restocked per the confirmation/agreement. When we got there they told us that service was not available anymore. Which was disappointing. We had to go daily for new towels & toilet paper which was inconvenient to try & remember to go before 5pm when the staff leave for the day.
The other bathroom shower had no pressure. The blinds kept falling down when you open & closed the sliders, and the lanai door latch was broken so we could not lock it overnight. There are some minor maintenance issues that really should be looked into.
We usually stay in resorts and wanted to try something different with the kids. Perhaps we had different expectations with the staffing onsite & services.
Hopefully they resolve these issues.
