    The relaxing weekend that we wanted. Easy access to the beach and pools. The condo had a beautiful deck to watch the sunrise and relax in the evening. The beds and living area were very comfortable and decorated beautifully. We would definitely recommend staying at this rental.

    The condo and view of the beach were beautiful! We were pleased with the quality of the furniture, beds, linens, dishes, appliances. The air conditioner had an issue was leaking and putting out mildew smell air. Husband bought new air filter to get us through the weekend. Owner was responsive until they weren’t. Never heard back from them…

    Terrific beach condo. Great location with a short, easy walk to the beach. Wonderful, expansive view from the balcony. Unit was comfortable, well appointed, and had a full locker of beach gear to borrow.

    Owners were extremely generous, attentive and kind. Location of property which was close to beach and close to beach club was convenient! Large porch overlooking the beach was beautiful. House and beach locker were stocked with everything you’d need! Especially convenient was the use of owners’ numerous beach towels. Wonderful weekend!

    Just book it!!! Beautiful condo with beach front views and steps from the Beach club. Everything you need in the kitchen and bedrooms for the perfect vacation. The owners were wonderful and the check in/out process was simple.

    Loved the location but door lock was overly difficult. We had another condo during the same stay and that was very easy to use. Our parents are in their 80’s and had college age grandkids with them. None of us could get that lock / password to work. Had to resort to one real key for 6 people. Otherwise, great place!!!!

    Above the Waves exceeded all my expectations! We have vacationed at Pointe West for five years. Above the Waves out-scored all the other condos, hands down! The owners were wonderful to work with, the home was beautifully appointed, it was sparkling clean and everything we could have possibly wanted or needed was at our fingertips for our use. The view from the balcony was amazing! Already looking forward to 2024 at Above the Waves! Sheryl L
