Our stay was excellent. Only complaint is one of the curtains were missing from the bay windows so it was a challenge to reduce the lighting early morning but otherwise great location. Walking access to the beach and many of the attractions!

Upon arrival, the common areas were in the process of being updated, so first impression was a bit disappointing, and the elevator was not working causing us to carry our luggage and groceries up 7 flights of stairs. The elevator was back in service the following day. Upon entering the condo, the living room blinds had broken tabs and were not hanging properly, and the sofa appeared to have stains on it, which we just covered with a comforter from the closet. Upon talking with the manager, they were unaware of the broken blinds and assured us the sofa had been professionally cleaned and was to have had a covering on it as some of the stains did not come out. With the exceptions above, the condo itself was very comfortable and had everything we needed. I appreciated the flooring, which was clean and free from not carpet. The views of, and proximity to the beach were fantastic. We rode bike in the State Park and felt very comfortable riding the short distance along the highway until we reached the bike trails. We did not use the pool as it was not heated and the air temperatures were not conducive to swimming in the poolOverall, this is a nice unit, and I hope to stay here again in the future.

Easy check in, clean and quiet. Short walk to the beach. Little gloomy due to rain.
6 / 10Average·Jul 2025
The location and view was wonderful. The pull out couch was unsleepable so the meant two people had to sleep on the floor. This unit definitely needs some upgrades and a new sofa. Tried using the washing machine and it’s extremely loud. The hallway toilet we had to fix twice. A piece of the fridge shelf on the door broke. All in all we had a great trip but the place needs some upgrades.
