Everything was great! I wish we could have stayed longer.The pools were very nice and well maintained. It was very nice to have beach chairs and towels to use.
Great condo on the beach. Beautiful property that is very well maintained. Condo is super clean and spacious. Has everything you need for your stay. Owners were great and responsive.
We enjoyed our stay! Property was clean and stocked with amenities listed. Conveniently located across from the beach. Pools in the community were great! We enjoyed the beach view from the balcony.
Nice spacious condo, easy walk over to the beach, close to everything but not in the bad traffic section of seawall. Wonderful owners & guy in office at condos super nice & helpful. Enjoyed the lovely pool. If needed anything very easy walk over to Walmart. Just a great stay.
A 3 star review is disappointing when the guests were only there less than 34 hours. The only thing we heard from guests was the shower smelled like dirty socks. We offered to come reclean but guest had to "think about it" and we never heard back.
