Great view, but old run down a bit

The ocean view is awesome. However the rental has issues: internet service sparse, tv is not HD and hard to pick up channels. The front desk lady was nice but of no help with the tv. Rust in bathtub. One tubs drain doesn’t work. Missing knob on closet door (sloppy care). Love to go back to the area but will pick another place.

Great water front condo

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The condo has a beautiful view on the beach. We loved watching the birds and dolphins swim by. It was fully equipped with everything we needed. Would definitely return if we are back in the area.

Great Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property is in a great location! The room was very spacious but needs some work! The walls had marks all over them (from guests I’m sure) but it made it look very dirty. They definitely need to be repainted. The couch cushions were missing buttons and looked very worn. The refrigerator had a shelf that was put back together with tape. I have stayed at this hotel before in a different room and it was very nice and updated. I just think for the price the owners could make it quite a bit nicer and kept up. I would stay in this unit again if I needed to but definitely prefer something a little more kept up. Side note the beds were really comfortable except for the pull out couch. It was horrible! In regards to the staff, they were very accommodating when the unit lacked blankets.

Very nice location, nice sized condo a little noisy

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very nice outdoor space, pretty garden area with a grill. Pool area was nice the pool was clean but some cigarette butts dumped by the pool. Beach and beach chairs were plentiful very nice. The balcony had nice view. The unit was large well equipped in unit washer dryer was great. My only complaint was the walls are really thin and the main bedroom was noisy. The wall need a fresh coat of paint. When we arrived slightly early out key was available, we went to the room thinking it must be ready and one of the house cleaning staff was cooking bacon in the unit it was weird. When we came back and talked with the manager she said they have a problem with that. Our smoked alarm needed a new battery and they changed it right away.

Not as comfortable, modern, or clean as it should have been

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed in unit 221 in March 2023. Overall, we thought the place was overpriced because it wasn’t as comfortable, modern, or clean as it should have been. Some things were fine (the central air and the bathrooms) and many just weren’t up to par (stuffing and springs falling out of the one LR chair, none of the TVs has a decent picture (no HD?), kitchen stove has non-working burners and displays worn off, kitchen equipment is unpredictable - no potholders, for example). The balcony is half the size of the others on the 2nd floor, the on-site office was never staffed when we were there and the rental agent answered one but not the other of our emails, and the “complimentary” beach chairs, shared by all and not set aside for each unit, were broken and too few. We have rented at other places on this beautiful beach and never paid as much for as little.
