We really enjoyed this unit. The location is perfect. It was the shortest walk to the beach we've ever stayed at, also very close to the pool and parking. We didn't need to use the elevator at all. It was clean and had everything we needed. They only reason I knocked a star off was 2 of the blinds were broke, and some of the closets and drawers had a bunch of stuff in them, so a few of us lived out of our suitcases for the week, but neither complaints were a big deal. Would stay here again.

My family and I stayed the week here and we absolutely loved this place. It looks exactly like the pictures. Very clean and everything was decorated really well. Parking was always easy and being on the first floor with 3 kids made it so easy getting to and from the beach or pool. I would highly recommend this place!

The condo was clean, beds were comfortable, and the view was amazing! We loved the outdoor swings overlooking the beach and close beach access point. Pool was small and crowded but we did not end up using it. Close to many shops and great restaurants. Overall fantastic place to stay and would definitely recommend to others visiting the area.
