    It was okay. No screen on the doors which we like because we open the sliding doors at night to listen to the ocean. We cracked one open anyway and had palmetto bugs and flys in the room. Dishwasher was out of order but we received a call advising us and that they would install a new one within a day. I was okay without it since we were only 2 people. Location is great fewer crowds. Outside furniture was dirty and old needs replaced. Inside was okay.

    Here’s a ready-to-post review based on what you shared:---The ocean view was beautiful, and the location was convenient with plenty of restaurants close by. While the balcony wasn’t the best spot for suntanning, the outdoor pool made up for it and was enjoyable. Unfortunately, the tub was not very clean, and the upstairs neighbors were quite noisy early in the morning, which affected the overall comfort. Despite those issues, it was still a good stay and we had a positive experience overall.

    The ocean view from the balcony was exactly what I was hoping for, and the unit is right on the beach! It was also great to have access to outdoor and indoor pools nearby. I loved the location! The four star was because the shams and the decorative bed quilts smelled dirty. Only the white linen bedsheets and pillow cases were clean. The sofa bed mattress had crumbs on it. So we chose not to use it. The mattresses are very uncomfortable. The check-in requires you to come into the office to pick up paperwork and parking passes. We didn’t expect that. Also, be sure to check your email for a rental agreement and contract. I didn’t know for 2 days that a contract was sent to me, and the office didn’t respond to me in the Vrbo app. I had to ask Vrbo for the owner’s contact number to get access information. Upon contacting them, i found out there was a contract but it has not been sent to me. It would help if they contacted me first via the Vrbo app with instructions to check my personal email for next steps. I didn’t do the 3 stars because the price was fair and the staff at the real estate office were very friendly, understanding and welcoming.

    Unit was exactly as shown in pictures actually could use some updating, but was pretty clean just older. Kitchen stove burners not level, and can’t see numbers for temperature on oven. The dishwasher didn’t seem to clean dishes very well we hand washed most of them. I’m not complaining. We had a great time and I would stay there again, but if I were the owner, I would want to know these things.

    This condo is so close to the beach. Located at almost the end of the beach where it is more quiet. The condo was supplied with everything we needed. Will definitely book again.

    Condo was very clean. Linens and towels were great, towels very fluffy and big! Views of ocean are amazing! Beds were very old and uncomfortable. Really needs new mattresses in both bedrooms! Needs extra paper products available, we ran out of TP in both bathrooms and no other rolls available.

    Really nice condo for our stay. The condo could use some updating. I liked the dual sliding glass doors to the deck. Being right on the beach was a plus. The furniture was comfortable as was the queen bed. We would definitely stay here again.

    This condo was perfect for our family of 6 for the week. The listing was accurate, we had plenty of bathroom linens that were nice and thick. Showers had amazing water pressure. Our location in ocean dunes was ok, we loved being across the street from the rec center to use the indoor pool and spa. We were a good little distance from the outdoor pool tho. The beach in front of our condo was hard to set up on. The tide was high for most part of the day all week and the water was literally up to the dunes and the beach we did have was at a slope. But a short walk either way we had no issues. The beach was amazing and very cool to see the rocks nearby. The aquarium is a short drive down the road to enjoy. It’s so peaceful and quiet. House was very clean but was out dated big time but you can see from the pictures. Price was a little high in our opinion for this particular unit but you see what you get. They had a storage container in the parking spot that had some chairs and items for you to use on the beach which was nice and convenient. To get to the beach is a very short easy walk. Overall it was a great stay. We had an issue with the microwave upon arrival but it was taken care of the following day! Check in was easy, although just leaving the parking passes in the condo would be a lot more convenient than having to check in at the rental company, but our kids did get sunglasses and my husband and I got some koozies and a wine tumbler at check in as well!

    Few places are as close to ocean as this. Enough sand between the building and the water to hang out. This section of beach dead-ends into rocks so it's not crowded. Clean, spacious, plenty of dishware. Appliances are not modern but everything we used worked. It is required to pick up parking passes at the rental office and also to drop them off leaving town. Relatively minor inconvenience since it was on our way. Outdoor seating and balcony were clean. Sliding doors were functional. Exterior faces of glass doors and windows need cleaned though. Overall a great experience, good value, and well-managed property. I truly enjoyed the stay.
