Perfect mini vacation!

Our stay at the condo could not have been better. The place was very clean, check-in process was easy, and the location of the condo was perfect. One of our favorite parts was the view from the balcony. We very much enjoyed our time at Sandy Smile!

Great condo for the price.

Check-in and out was effortless. Our host was accommodating and responsive. The condo was clean, well-stocked, and in a great location. We had everything we needed to cook if we wanted to. We were within walking distance of the beach and did not have to drive far for restaurants or shopping.

Great little place!

Great little place for a getaway! Clean and well furnished. Easy checkin and great communication. Enjoyed the heated pool and hot tub. Beautiful view and gorgeous sunrises!!! Would be a tight fit for 6 people. Watch the planes and helicopters land and take off at the nearby airport (can be a little loud but still fun to watch!). Highly recommended.

Great Place to Stay

We enjoyed our condo. It was located in a great part of town and the property was extremely clean. Remodeling was being done in the front of the property, but it didn’t affect anything. The pools were beautiful . Inside, our room was cute and clean. Everything you could need was provided. We would come again and have already recommended it to family.

Such a great condo!

While the condo is not huge, it was perfect for the week for my family of four. We loved the coffee bar, upgraded shower and my boys loved the towel animals when we arrived. It was very generous that the owner stocks a few basic items, like garbage bags, sandwich bags and tinfoil. It was nice not to have to buy boxes of these items when we were only going to be there 6 days. The condo building itself is dated, but this condo was very affordable and the pools seem to be very well maintained.
