We stayed here for four nights in March with another family. There were plenty of beds and a beautiful location. It was a quick walk to the beach. Our building had a private pool which was nice to get some quiet pool time. Loved being on the lower level and having our own hot tub. Wonderful stay!

Very Nice Place

This condo is very nice and well stocked, beautifully designed. It has plenty of cooking utensils and beach equipment/tents/toys. The location was great and we stayed busy the entire time. It provides walking distance to activities for ex. putt putt, jet ski rentals and restaurants. Our family enjoyed our stay and would rent again in the future.

Great experience

We had our 8 year and 12 year old and it was perfect for them and us! 5 minute walk to the beach, easy access to the lazy river, and our own private hot tub was amazing! The condo was very nice and spacious. Plenty of extra blankets and pillows. Tvs in all of the rooms worked great! Couldn't have been happier with our stay!

Best of both worlds , bay and beach property!

This unit offers easy access to the lazy river. Well appointed unit. We unfortunately had a lot of rain but enjoyed all the inside space and huge covered lanai. Not to be overlooked, incredible water pressure!In this unit made getting cleaned up a breeze after a day of play!!

Beautiful condo with more than enough room for 10+ people. The hot tub on the balcony was AMAZING and the whole resort had a lot of family friendly amenities. The walk to the beach wasn’t bad although it was kind of crowded there. Julie was easily accessible and an amazing host. Only thing is maybe more blankets in the condo and the bathtub drain fixed

We loved this ground floor condo that gave us easy access to the pool and lazy river area, especially with our young kids! The beach was also a short, convenient walk and having the wagon and chairs available was super helpful. One thing that kept our stay from being 5 stars was that the floors were not clean upon our arrival (we could feel sand). Also it would have been nice to have a few more amenities provided to get us started (for example, we only had one trash bag and the hand soap was almost empty when we arrived so we had to run out and buy stuff right away). A few simple things could make a big difference! Overall, though, it was a great stay and we would recommend it!
