Worked out great

We would come back again. It was clean and comfortable. It’s not a new property but some of the unit has been updated nicely. It was close to where we were visiting family and that was helpful for us. The gated community was a nice plus. And plenty of parking. We didn’t check out the pool or gym. And while we did clean up after ourselves we didn’t have a list of chores to complete for check out. 😀

nice get away

The only thing that was a problem was the smell of mold/mildew I messaged her about this, my family is allergic and we can smell it a mile away. Responded with the "Maid didn't small anything" The water bag to collect moisture were totally full. She really didn't seem to care to much about the smell. Other than that is was ok. maybe or maybe not book it again?

Nice location

Nice location, cute little condo. Our family enjoyed our stay here. There was a miscommunication when we arrived, the check in details said to use the back gate because it says unlocked when we got there the back gate was locked and wasn't able to get in. We wasn't able to reach the host via phone and had to wait for someone else to come through to let us in. Finally later that night I was able to reach the host and get the gate code. Also the pool and hot tube there is great but anyone under 14 years old can't use the hot tube so my kids was a little bummed about that. But it a beautiful condo, only complaint is the miscommunication about the gate and us not being able to get in. Other than that the stay was great.

Not as described

When we he led in the condo smelled of smoke pretty bad. Whether it’s from the people upstairs, next door or from everyone smoking outside. The kitchen did not have adequate pots and pans for a family. The entire complex was under construction. That WAS NOT in the description of the property and if I would have known I would have booked elsewhere. Called the owner and she did not seem to care that it bothered me. Between the construction and the smoke smell it truly ruined my vacation. I would book somewhere else!

Not what we expected but it was an okay place to stay.

We were a little disappointed upon arriving. The house was very musty smelling, the shower wasn't clean, and neither were all of the dishes that were in the cupboards. We had to clean out the pool because there was garbage floating in it when we went to swim. The property still has quite a bit of damage from the last hurricane. We killed a few spiders inside the house and there was a dead frog in the crack of the door when we arrived. Besides these things, everything you needed was inside the house and it is all you need for a short stay. It was a good location, only a short distance from the beach and things to do downtown. Checking in was easy with an onsite lock box. We met a few people on site that owned their condos and they were very kind and helpful which we appreciated. Overall it just wasn't what we were expecting.
