Relaxing

The property was very nice, clean and had what was needed for a family of 5. Beware of the bar stools, very wobbly. The chairs at the table were a little loose, with one not being able to be used at all. We had a great time and enjoyed the whole property while visiting. Would definitely recommend.

Unbelievable views!

You just can’t beat the views! The condo was nice, a little outdated from a decor perspective, the beds we’re comfortable, and the entire property management staff were excellent. Initially, we had some issues and miscommunication with the refrigerator. It was quickly resolved though! A+

As advertised. No surprises. Very Clean like 10/10. That was the most striking thing. Overall Convenient. Recommended. Almost hotel like service feel. Responsive and onsite real people/staff to talk to. Large condo complex. Covered Garage parking spot about 10 feet to elevator. Which is about 20ft to condo front door at end of hallway. Condo is actually in middle area facing straight out to pool and ocean. Pool huge and avg 4ft deep and i think salt and super warm but this was july. Ocean warm too. U get 2 chairs and umbrella included and extra like 50 per additional set per day. Theres 3-5min walkable restaurant next door with huge lines and other side is the state park with more endless beach walking. Ideal spot. Kinda pricey but sleeping arrangement is good. Cons/requests: wish onsite store. There is grocery across street but gotta drive out and cant really walk there. Wish condo had basic pool floats or beach toys like boogie boards. Wish had bikes to use. Wish include beach towels and pool towels. Wish for big ice maker and outdoor mini grill.

Beautiful beach and a great resort!

The resort property and beach were beautiful. It was amazing white sand with clear green water with beachside bar service by awesome staff. They had our chairs set up and ready to go everyday and were always accommodating. The unit we stayed in was very dated (older tile with stained grout in bathrooms, older furniture). Worn comforters on the beds which is always a little gross. We bought extra blankets at Walmart so we could get rid of the comforters. If we came again, we would choose a different unit.

Vacation stay

Everything was wonderful! The view was amazing! We really enjoyed our stay. The only issues we had was a small burn on the master bedroom carpet, the outside table wobbled pretty badly, the sliding glass door won’t lock and the guest bathroom door won’t lock. We are typically not complainers but just thought these things might not be known by the owner. It could enhance the next patrons experience. Thank you! The Myers family
