    Spent a week in this lovely condo. Nicely decorated. Great location at the beach and a short walk to Bahama Bob's, Hangout, and souvenir shops. Definitely would stay here again.

    Overall, this was a nice rental located right on the beach and walking distance to several restaurants and shops. Upstairs loft bedroom was hot but we found a box fan and used that. The only can opener we found was rusty and didn't work so we had to make a store run to get a new one which we left behind for the next guests to use. Other than that, nothing to complain about.

    Close to shops and restaurants. Steps away from the beach and beautiful views from the decks.

    We loved this location. It was so perfect for my family as we just welcomed a little baby into our family and we needed a stay where we could go back and forth to the vrbo and beach easily. We were a little nervous about sharing a porch with others because of our kids liking to run around but it wasn’t a problem at all. The vrbo is well stocked just make sure you bring hand soap.

    It was an amazing location! The kids loved being able to walk to get ice cream and shop and do all things Pokémon! If you plan on spending any time on the deck know that privacy will be at a premium! You not only share a deck with 3 other units but you are on the end where people are also washing off from the beach and that’s where you car is, so beware of people walking by with all their beach supplies. You are also very close the next unit when on the deck (people from the unit over even propped a raft up to give a little privacy while we were all out on the deck together). Things are older but it was clean. The beds were comfortable and it had almost every kitchen supply we needed (no measuring cups but we managed). The 3rd level was VERY hot when we arrived. They ask all the fans to be off when you leave and you could feel the heat at the bottom of the steps. Once the ceiling fan ran it felt much better the next day but wish we would have brought a small fan. We did have an issue with the garbage disposal breaking and it was replaced quickly while we were out one day.

    The room was clean and looked just like the photos! Plenty of sleeping room for the whole family and right on the beach! Gorgeous views

    We were happy with the location but not with the lack of cleanliness. It is clear in the photos that the unit is dated, which is fine, but to get there and have an excess of unclean areas was not fine. When i reached out to the property company about this, they said they realized it was dated, as if that was the cleanliness issue, but it wasnt. They sent housekeeping to come clean unannounced and people were showering and getting ready, so that was frustrating. I would not stay here again and could not recommend it to a friend. (Hair in floor/counters, plastic silverware up in bedroom floor, boogers wiped on wall, black mold in sink, shower, and washer, etc are just a few things that were not acceptable to us)

    This property was perfect for our group! The location was amazing, close to the Hangout and other restaurants, while also being right on the beach. Would love if the community pool could be heated during spring break, as the water was very cold! But overall we had a great stay and would definitely go back!

    This location is great - walking distance to restaurants and shops and the beachfront location is wonderful! If it were not for the issues we've had with this listing and the cleanliness, we would rent again next year. (1) Details are not all listed on this listing! We arrived on Sunday - listing says check in BEGINS at 4 - details provided after booking and mgmt said office closes AT 4pm and to avoid late check-in charges, we needed to arrive earlier than 4. We changed travel plans so we could arrive before 4pm. When we spoke with the management company about this, they seemed uncaring about the discrepancy - this detail was important because we reserved this at a point where no refund was offered after securing the booking! Management company seemed not to care about the discrepancy in the listing when we spoke on the phone. (2) Listing does not tell you that you pay for parking ($32) in CASH ONLY upon arrival even though it was already prepaid in the reservation. We were promptly refunded the amount when we checked out, but this added another errand when we arrived - finding an ATM. (3) Housekeeping done on this listing was NOT acceptable. it has the usual older worn amenities that are common to a beach rental and that isn't an issue, but the bedding was stained AND dirty. We washed the blankets and it removed some of the marks but not all - staining is evident. Found pans under the cabinet that had not been washed and caked with old grime. Cabinets were grease stained
