The location is wonderful. The condo was a bit rundown... more so than you can see in the pictures. For example, there were food crumbs in the utensil drawer, the couch is very dingy, the dishes, glasses, and mugs are all very old, etc.The heat did not work, and I had to spend a total of 6 hours waiting for the house to heat up & having an electrician come and do repairs. He indicated that the heat hadn't been used in some time, the wires were completely corroded, and he had to rewire the system - indicating that the system was faulty and unsafe. There was no compensation from the property management.

You can't beat the view and the location. The condo was super clean and had all you would need in the kitchen including a blender and small crock pot. My only complaint was that we weren't provided any dishwasher detergent making it difficult to use the dishwasher. Also, the outdoor shower by the parking area stopped working midweek and was never fixed. Otherwise, the week was amazing!

Wonderful beachfront location!

We loved the view from this condo! Loved waking up and seeing dolphins in the ocean while drinking coffee! It was wonderful that we could walk to many restaurants in the area. The inside of the condo was decorated beautifully and perfect for our family of 3. We highly recommend this location to others looking for a nice beachfront vacation! The only negative we found was that the floors were thin so we could hear noise from other tenants in the condo above. The positives by far outweigh the negatives!

Got away

It was a great location to walk. The pool was locked on our side. It wasn't until it was too late we realized the pool was opened on the other side. But, that was fine. We had an amazing view of the ocean, easy access to everything and the condo was lovely.

Family beach vacation

The rental was perfect for our family of 5. Everything was clean, we did most of our own cooking and had everything we needed in the kitchen. We ate all our meals on the deck including coffee while watching the sun rise every morning often spotting dolphins. Lots of hours spent on the beach right in front of the rental. It was had to say goodbye.

The place was clean, in great condition, and the location was ideal. The beautiful ocean view and easy access to the beach we're a must and didn't disappoint. My favorite part of each day was having coffee every morning on the porch and looking out at the ocean. We will definitely stay here again!
