Excellent place for a family to stay.

My family stayed here for 7 days. We loved how clean and inviting it was upon walking through the door after the long drive we had. It felt a lot like home. Plenty of space for the week. There were 5 of us. Three adults a teenager and a younger child. It was equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Even a family with small children. We loved how close it was to one of the two pools. The wall to the beach was quick, just across the street. The one and only complaint we had was that we didn't have acces to a charcoal grill next to our pool like the other had (with grills and picnic tables) We cooked out several times and it was difficult at times to carry everything there to cook and back to our place. Over all great place to stay and great experience.
Response from VrboOwner on Jun 28, 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience and for the wonderful 5-star rating. We’re glad you found the home clean, spacious, and welcoming for your family, and that you enjoyed the convenient location near the pools and beach. We do want to clarify that the shared charcoal grill is not part of the amenity, which is why it wasn’t available by your pool. We appreciate your feedback and are delighted you had an overall great stay with us.

Disliked: Communication
My complaint about the communication was due to the fact that I asked if they had a hair dryer at the facility and was told "no and to bring one." I was flying and did not want to bring unnecessary items. They had two hair dryers in the location.... Do not know who is answering questions but someone should know something.... other than the one item, everything else was excellent.

Really enjoyed our stay. The place is right across from the beach. The apartment was clean and had a lot of included household items. TV’s worked fine, shower water pressure was therapeutic, and patio overlooking the pool was nice. Location is right next to the Walmart. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Couldn’t have asked for a better location! Beach on one side and Walmart on the other. Great restaurants decently close. Wish the pools were heated, they were colder than the ocean! Would stay here again!

Perfectly Peaceful

This was by far the best place that I have ever stayed! I’m so glad we decided to go with a condo instead of a hotel. The rooms were so quiet and peaceful. The whole condo is gorgeously decorated and includes all the amenities you need. I would highly recommend this gem to anyone!
