Perfect for family. Easy access to the beach. Beautiful views from living area and balcony. Quiet corner unit next to quiet public beach. Comfortable furnishings. Quick drive to restaurants, grocery stores, and shopping.
The location on the beach and the corner location in the complex were great. A very comfortable property. The only mark against it was the presence of Skittles candy on the floor in a few places that made me question the cleaning process.

Response from VrboOwner on Nov 29, 2023
Rebecca thank you for your review. We are so sorry about the skittles on the floor! We ask on the entry instructions that any guest lets us know if there are any matinence or cleaning issues 24 hours after their arrival. If we had known we definitely would have sent our cleaners back over to take care of that.
