We always enjoy our time here. This property is nicely updated.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2023
This beautiful condo is update throughout, has plenty of amenities. Most importantly it’s so close to the tram to get to beach, it’s not deep inside the west side. It’s close to the entrances and easy to get in and out of.
There are tvs in each room, wrap around decks and a grill to use. They have all the kitchen appliances you could need. The drains were slow to drain, but the property management co was taking care of it as we left. (Not a big deal)
The only suggestion I have is to replace the mattress in the front room. It was so squeaky! Beautiful home. Definitely recommend!

2nd time staying in the property. By far, this property exceeds
all others stayed at in the last 12 years in BB. Kitchen was in good order. Clean , up to date appliances. Counter area and sink were just right. Living room was arranged with 2 nice sofas. Both bathrooms were updated with higher sink / cabinet. Showers were ok. Bedrooms were nice too.
Check in process very smooth with 1st Properties.
Suggest:
Dining room chair cushions cleaned and wood painted.
There is a slow leak from toilet tank in hallway bathroom.
There is a leak just at the top of the living room sliding door to porch. It rained really hard and a leak started in the upper corner of the sliding door. And 1st Properties came out to document. Responded same day w/i i1hr. Nice service.
Living room sliding door to porch is difficult to open.
Not sure how to hook up DVD player to living room TV. I will need instructions next time.
***************
Overall. Very nice place to stay in BB. I hope I can rent this unit next year. Thank you.

The property was lovely-lots of trees-felt like we were in the woods. Tram service is great and the kids loved riding it! Kitchen is well stocked. The only complaint-couldn’t get grill to work and it was pretty grungy. All in all a great vacation,beautiful beach!
