10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
Condo was a nice size and the view was fabulous. Location was great. On the down side there was no hairdryer in either bathroom so we had to buy one. Also the frypans really need to be replaced. Smoke alarm started chirping in one of the bedrooms (in the middle of the night!) and we wanted the batteries replaced in all of them but they would only give us one battery!
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
It was an awesome experience plan on coming back next year!
8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2025
Some cosmetic wear on the condo and needs some tlc. No large knives to cut large items like watermelon. Some outlets in the kitchen do not work. Master Tub is very slow draining. Main bedroom mattress was worn and needs a replacement.
6 / 10Average·May 2024
The master bathroom shower tub doesn't drain. Couldn't keep the sliding glass door open for ocean breeze. AC was set to cold. Sliding glass door lock worked and didn't work.
Otherwise it was very nice place. Would have like to know about not being allowed to keep sliding glass door open
