Great condo!

We loved this condo! Plenty of room for us and the kids. Having a 3rd bathroom is such a time saver when getting ready to go out! We will definitely consider staying here again! Thank you!

Well kept, comfortable, and convenient beach access!
6 / 10Average·Jul 2024
We were not given the checkin code ahead of time and I couldn't reach the property manager finally VRBO was able to reach them after multiple attempts. I also messaged 2 days before checkin asking for an early checkin and never even got a response. The inside is nice enough but the furniture and rugs are worn and dingy. The walls and ceiling in master bedroom/bath have dust hanging off them and mold growing on ceiling shower. For the price we paid I expected better. We still had a great time and the location/beach is wonderful. They just need to do a deep clean and consider replacing furnishings as they get dirty.
