Awesome location and accommodations!

We stayed 2 nights, the condo was comfortable and as described in the listing. The proximity to the beach was amazing and there were plenty of options for food, groceries and entertainment nearby. The check in process was smooth and the hosts were great communicators! Would book again for future visits!

This is an upstairs unit. A/C worked GREAT! The location was very convenient. It is located towards the back of the complex, but right across from the pool, and is only a short walk to the beach access. Having 2 bathrooms with teenage girls was wonderful. The large shower in the master was nice, but the doors did want to come off the tracks a few times, so just be gentle. The decor was very cute and the living room was quite comfortable to enjoy some relaxation in the A/C. There were some fix-ups that needed to be done, but being new to VRBO, I am sure they will improve over time. The kitchen had several dishes but quite empty in the fact that there were no spices or grilling utensils. Those would be a nice add-on. Having a washer and dryer really was a nice draw to this place, as we were packing light. However, the dryer did not work well at all. It heated up fine but would not dry clothes. It took several hours with back to back attempts to dry the smallest of clothes. Staying there for a week, we needed to wash the towels and washcloths, plus beach towels so I made a couple of trips to the laundromat before everyone was up and around so we could have fresh linens. Check-in was easy. We did not need to contact anyone during our stay. I didn't feel that these items were a huge issue, just inconvenience. I would recommend staying here. The complex is family friendly and pretty quiet.
