The condo was nice in a good location, great access to the beach. Very comfortable beds and great A/C. Was an older condo and could use a little TLC. But over-all a great place.
We stayed for 3 nights over Spring Break. The place was clean and walking distance the beach which was our main focus. We enjoyed our stay and the communication and checkin was easy.
The place was clean and very “average”. For the price it was what I should have expected. The pillows were very thin and bedding was low quality, no coffee filters for the machine (which they later brought after I bought some at the grocery store), and the place felt a bit dated. All that said, it was fine for what we needed and I would stay there again.
We have stayed in a few different units of this complex. The beach access is easy. The pools are nice. We always use the grills while we’re there. And in the summertime they’ve got good live music at the main pool.
We had an amazing stay. Short and sweet, in and out, right on the beach, it was perfect.
Definitely can accommodate a big group. The space is much bigger in person.
We had a great time.
Location was fantastic, right across from the pool, short walk to the beach. All the amenities I needed were at arms reach and the liquor store was a 3 minute drive, so yeah. Great time :D
The property was everything we expected and more!!! Plenty of room for everyone, close to the beach, beautiful view, and quiet!
The property is kept clean and the pool area is well maintained.
Great location near food, groceries and shopping.
Will definitely return in the future.

The condo needs better cleaning. A used bandaid greeted us on the doormat upon arrival. Cabinets, door frames, baseboards, and doors are very dirty - especially in kitchen and living room area. Ceiling fan blades have dust on them. Found other people’s hair on window ledge in kitchen. The two blue, upholstered chairs in living room are very dirty - felt uncomfortable to sit on them due to grime and stains. Broken mini blinds. Dishes and kitchenware need attending to - some glasses smelled, one had red lipstick on it, and a lot is dated/worn. Also over communication from property manager - be prepared for a lot of messages! We have stayed in this complex before and like its location and amenities, but we would not stay in this specific unit again in its current state.
