We are frequent VRBO travelers. This is our first resort experience as a family, and it was fantastic! I have a family of very picky frequent travelers who are easy going enough to sleep on the floor, but will take issue with uncleanliness or anything broken or unkempt, and my teens will identify it quickly. We literally had NOTHING whatsoever come up with this property, with the exception of a balcony smoker somewhere downwind from us. But the property manager got to me before I got to her and it was resolved without issue. I can’t really even come up with anything critical to improve upon - maybe additional seating at the dining table? Room for 2 more would be ideal for a family dinner. So what did we love then?
1. The property was exactly as described.
2. The check in process, and the rules and requirements for the resort, were clear and easy.
3. The condo had Alexa preprogrammed with our unit info and anything we needed we just asked Alexa. It was also pretty fantastic to have her there to throw on some music during downtime or when making dinner
4. The beds were super comfortable - the bedding clean and practical. I have a daughter with OCD and often she will either sleep on top of bedding with her own blankets, or launder everything multiple times before she will relax and allow herself to sleep IN the bed. From the first night she was snuggled in tight and slept like a baby. THIS IS HUGE FOR US!!
5. The view was incredible! Unobstructed views of the beach. We couldn’t see direct sunrise or sunset, but you still can catch the colors of both.
6. There were beach chairs, an umbrella and a large skim board available for use. Which was AWESOME bc I forgot my son’s skim board!
6. The amenities for the resort were great!
Some must do’s! Rent chairs & umbrella - daily rate is $45 + tax. If you do daily, the hut opens at 9am. I was there by 8:00 every morning and was never first. You can rent by the week, but we always have at least 1-2 days we are not on the beach, so for us it would have been considerably more $$.
Do your homework on the experiences. While you do get a discount through the resort, we found that the discount still made it more expensive. And most were booked out several days. We did the research ourselves and found cheaper options with good reviews that we were able to book for the next day at the time of our choosing. Just something to think about!
This was SUCH a memorable week. THANK YOU!!
