10 / 10Outstanding·Nov 2025
It was great. Awesome view enjoyed the sunset’s & sunrises. Great condo.
10 / 10Outstanding·Nov 2025
We loved being able to sit on patio and watch the people, sunrises, sunsets, dolphins and just enjoy the view. The property was clean and all staff that we encountered were friendly and helpful. Hope to be able to do it again. My granddaughters loved the beach but also looked forward to playing in the pool. The property was very clean, well stocked and decorated in beach theme. Well done. We did have to bring our own chairs, towels and also bought grandkids boogie boards. Would recommend to others.
8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2025
Just nit-picking but, need to make entry instructions to be more obvious that you need to lift up on the handle after inputting the PIN, it caused confusion at first.
6 / 10Average·Mar 2024
Good— location, beach access, pool, comfortable beds, clean and quiet hours after 10 pm, nice updated kitchen with dishwasher and washer and dryer for clothes was great, most things within walking distance
Bad—got to place at 8-9 pm tried to get in with code, didn’t work so called office number but no answer, called the emergency number but no answer, left messages got called back but had no idea how long was gonna take. Simple thing left out in instructions for check in like needing to lift handle up after typing in code instead of trying to push down on handle would have made a difference . Review said room was on the second floor but it’s on sixth floor. Parking tags were left for two cars but there isn’t enough parking in lot for one car so have to park across the busy street.
