We really enjoyed this condo. There is more space and sleeping space available than it looks in the pictures which was really nice. The kitchen was stocked with dishes which made it easy to use. It was clean and overall a really great place.
We have one complaint that is NOT the property owners issue but I wish we had been warned. The mosquitoes at this resort are absolutely insane. So much so that we probably needed to be made aware of it ahead of time so that we could plan for it. This property very obviously does not spray to combat them and it was worse than any other place we have ever stayed as far as mosquitoes go. If they aren’t going to spray you WILL need to bring plenty of bug spray and a few fighters to spray about an hour or so before you plan to be outside or you will be miserable. I know it sounds like an exaggeration but I assure you it’s not. Never have I ever seen mosquitoes like this. They have a really nice deck that we really weren’t able to use bc no one could stand to be still outside. The only place you were safe from them was inside or UNDER water.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the condo and found it spacious and well-equipped. It's always wonderful to know that our guests have a comfortable and pleasant stay.
We sincerely appreciate your feedback regarding the mosquito situation. Indeed, mosquitoes can be a challenge on the entire island, and we understand how this can impact your outdoor enjoyment. While we strive to provide a relaxing environment for our guests, there are certain elements of nature that are beyond our control.
We hope this experience doesn't deter you from visiting again, and we'd love to have you back. Please feel free to reach out if you have any further concerns or if there's anything we can do to assist you in the future.
Warm regards,

The place was great! It was clean and decor was cozy and made the place feel comfortable. The king bed was comfortable. Our 15 year old slept on the twin bed and said he slept well. On our 3rd day, I did have an issue with the HVAC system not cooling as well. I called the office and within 20 minutes a guy showed up, inspected the unit and found the filters needed to be replaced. The other minor issues were from housekeeping. The oven mitts were dirty and kitchen towels looked new and hadn't been washed since purchasing. The unit does not provide any laundry soap either. So we ended up just using paper towels. Housekeeping also forgot to leave my parking permit in the unit so I had to call the office and coordinate a time for them to bring it. We really loved the short walk to the beach however if you hauling alot, renting a golf cart would be very helpful. Pool access was also nice! Overall, I did enjoy staying at this place. I would stay again!
