    Very convenient, not far from the beach entrance, groceries or resturants. Great location and overall good deal. Plenty of bath towels for my family of 5. Great family experience.

    After rereading the listing, I cannot say that it's not accurate, but it is misleading. This is a very outdated condo. They even managed to swap some furniture in the photos for older, uglier versions. And while the whole condo complex is technically on the beach, the condos themselves do not face or have access to the beach directly. You cannot see or hear the ocean unless you are in an end unit (not this one). My window overlooked the parking lot next door and there are no balconies or anything to enjoy the ocean from your space. Also, I would not call this place spacious. I was by myself so it was fine, but if I had had my family of five technically everyone would have had a place to sleep, but we would have been on top of each other with no room for luggage or anything. The bathroom is so tiny that I couldn't even stand in there and put sunscreen on by myself. There is no toilet paper holder which is awkward. There are very few places to plug in a phone or device in the rooms, none of which are easily accessible. And there's a foot (or less in some parts) of walkway around the king bed in the primary room. I paid last minute Sand in My Boots pricing, but I would not choose to stay here again even if it were less. The management company was very communicative, so there were no issues there at all. Truly it was not a bad experience, just meh overall as far as vibes go. I prefer updates, amenities and space to spread out. I could have stayed in a hotel and been better off.

    Kudos to the cleanliness of the unit. Small but sufficient. It is listed as beachfront but, the buildings sit sideways and you cannot see the beach until you walk to the end of the building. It was easily accessible to get to the beach but it would not be handicap accessible. No elevators, only stairs. It was fine.

    We absolutely enjoyed our stay! Was so glad there were less people at our location on the beach! We choose somewhere different each year, but definitely recommended this location to others♥️

    The property was small for us with a toddler, but it was a nice place to stay and had everything we needed. One small inconvenience, you cannot use the washer and dryer at the same time and was a little small for 5 us (one being a messy toddler). Otherwise, it was a great place to stay and we would book again.
