Cute, clean, and accommodating for a family of 5. The kitchen has everything you need to cook meals for the family. I love the design of the condo. I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars as we would have appreciated heavier blankets (the provided blankets are just a thicker version of a sheet), and the garage that was advertised is being occupied by the owner's golf cart, which does not come with the rental. You'll see other condo renters being able to park in their garages and you feel a little bummed you can't park in the garage as well.

Beautiful home. You get bare minimum things to cook with. You have to buy everything for your stay like salt and pepper. Enjoyed our stay.

This unit gives the perfect Whalecome as soon as you walk through the door. The layout is Amazing!!! Perfect location with great amenities to enjoy. The idea of the master suite downstairs gives the best privacy!!!! Kitchen and living room with 2nd bedroom all upstairs is AMAZING!!! This unit is definitely a favorite of ours and we WILL be returning.

Reviewer Comments:
The condo was nice and spacious. Walk softly otherwise the neighbors will hear. Upon arriving we noticed the condo was unclean. Dog hair was still on base boards and floor. We tried to use the vacuum but it was full of dog. And left a huge mound of dog hair when turned on, it was disgusting. As far as the property, the pool was over crowded. The pool restroom was absolutely disgusting, unclean. The second floor of the club house was covered in bugs. When we went up there we immediately ran down and still had bugs on us. The property needed to be sprayed for bugs and mosquitoes. You could not go out on patio without being attacked by mosquitoes. I wish there was a shower by the pool area to wash the sand off, people were getting in the pool to wash off.
