Stayed Oct 22, 2025Condo was a nice size and the view was fabulous. Location was great. On the down side there was no hairdryer in either bathroom so we had to buy one. Also the frypans really need to be replaced. Smoke alarm started chirping in one of the bedrooms (in the middle of the night!) and we wanted the batteries replaced in all of them but they would only give us one battery!

Stayed Aug 1, 2025Some cosmetic wear on the condo and needs some tlc. No large knives to cut large items like watermelon. Some outlets in the kitchen do not work. Master Tub is very slow draining. Main bedroom mattress was worn and needs a replacement.

Stayed Jul 14, 2025Everything great, just think this time of year we could have used a dehumidifier. Couldn't get anything to dry. Great place to stay though. Easy access to everything!

Stayed Jun 22, 2025The Living room TV kept losing the audio. I sent a message to the host and never got a reply. It was ignored. Some of the light fixtures are loose and barely hanging. The bathroom shelf is very loose with the anchor bolts coming out of the wall. The front door trim comes loose every time the door opens. The patio door would not lock. The washing machine did not spin the clothes. So I had to wring them out by hand on wash day. On our check in time, they were still cleaning after 4 pm.

Stayed Mar 28, 2025This condo had a great location. You could easily walk to shops and restaurants. Waking up each morning to the waves crashing in is the perfect start to anyday.

Stayed Sep 13, 2024It was a great location. Decent pricing. The only suggestion We would give is to put something down in the showers. They were pretty slippery

Stayed Aug 12, 2024We enjoyed our stay. Beds slept good. Outside grills are not in great shape but worked. The only issue I seen is the mold on the baseboard in front of primary bathroom vanity needs to be addressed

Stayed Dec 31, 1969The location was superb! Since there was no broom and dust pan, we bought one of each and left them there. I was shocked that the owner didn't provide those! So much sand in the condo, and no way to keep it under control was unacceptable to me! Otherwise, it was great! We loved the beach, watching the waves from the balcony and the ease of watching the parasailing. We recommend parasailing and the dolphin cruise, which was well done by the crew adding a few extra surprise experiences!

Stayed Jun 17, 2024Beach was awesome, room was average at best. Master bed needs replaced, basically sleeping directly on springs. Dresser in main bedroom nearly pointless with busted drawers. 2nd bedroom advertised as 2 single beds, but upon arrival it was a single full. Thankfully the couch had a pull out. Property had too many rules, security guard was friendly but just too much. He was always right there to question everything you did. Had him knock on the door on day 1 to tell us to get stuff off the balcony rail. Didn't even have anything on the rail. He was determined to prove we did. Turns out it was a different condo. Would not recommend staying here in the future. Too many better options in the area.

Stayed Dec 31, 1969We had an excellent stay over Memorial Day weekend! The condo was everything we could have asked for an more. The location is perfect. The view was gorgeous. Most importantly the condo was clean and well taken care of. I do wish the best were a little softer. And the hot water was scalding hot. Other than that everything was perfect. Would book again in a heartbeat!
