Reviewer Comments:
The condo was really great. The beds were comfortable, location and views were excellent. We enjoyed the beach everyday and even when we left the beach, the balcony made us feel like we were still at the beach. The only negative is the property manager. She was completely inflexible and treated us with contempt, even on the phone when we made reservations.

Good, not great. We stayed 34 days -- due to remodeling, only 8 days were quiet and peaceful. The kitchen had bugs -- we asked management to spray and they never did anything.
