Thank you for staying with us! We’re so glad you loved the cozy end unit. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d be happy to welcome you back anytime.
It was a nice property. Definitely showing its age. We’ve stayed at this property before just not this condo. There were a lot of little things broken. The beds are not the best. On our last day the toilet broke in the master bedroom.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the property and that it was a nice stay overall.
We’re sorry to hear about the maintenance issues you encountered, including the broken items, the comfort of the beds, and the toilet problem on your last day.
That’s certainly not the experience we want for our guests. We’ve already passed this along to our maintenance team so these items can be addressed right away.
We appreciate you staying with us again and hope we can welcome you back for a smoother experience in the future.
Property is wonderful and beach access is great. The pool stands out as excellent and was a welcome reprieve from the beach! Management company was on it. Would stay again without a doubt.
Spacious beautiful condo. Views of the ocean were breath taking. Very well furnished with anything you need. Master bath was beautiful and spacious. This was the first condo we have stayed at with carpet in the living room and later bedroom. Wasn’t sure how I would like it but I loved it. Big laundry room that had its on room with a door. Will definitely stay again. Beautifully decorated. We have stayed in a lot of condos but this one was the prettiest most spacious.
