10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2021
This condo was PERFECT!! Unit 103 is awesome! First floor! Right off the elevator! Could not have picked a better condo! Pristine clean, well stocked, very roomy (have you ever heard of a condo w/ 2 Lazy-boy recliners?!) , HUGE balcony with great poly wood furniture! Can NOT say enough good things about the unit and the whole complex! Very nice pool and NO steps on the boardwalk to the beach! No steps is a HUGE plus to us with our beach wagon! Thank you for a perfect vacation!!

Great time, great location. The only that could have made it better would have been less people on vacation. Wow it was busy this year.
8 / 10Excellent·Jun 2021
The property is very nicely decorated. Comfortable beds. Sliding doors to the deck could have been cleaner so we could see the beautiful view. Had to ask property manager to send necessary documents several times and it was difficult to get return calls/texts. Location is great. They are still renovating the building from the last hurricane but the pool was open.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2021
We stayed in a different condos each year for the past five years. Check in/out was easy! This was the best unit! Although we didn’t cook the unit was extremely well stocked with everything imaginable! The space was so nice and comfortable. The furniture on the balcony was awesome. The extremely short distance to the beach was awesome. The only two downsides 1) cable for TV - not much variety to watch at night and 2) the parking is terrible! Not enough parking for each unit and unless you were in early you had to park across the street - not real thrilled about that. .
