"We’ve been vacationing in this area for over 10 years and this location was exactly what we wanted. IRB is beautiful! We walked across the street to Caddy’s for dinner twice and that convenience was really nice!"

"We had a great time, no issues to report and everything as was described I had personal preferences that did not affect my rating but I would have preferred the late entry information to be in room and received the code the day of arrival like other places. We had a 2 hour delay in flight and therefore we were in much later at night and It was inconvenient to drive to another place, although not far, to get a packet that could have been in the room.

"Very nice condo. We had a great view of the ocean from our balcony. Easy walk to beach. Nice size pool and hot tub. Although wish parents wouldn’t let their kids treat it like a pool. Even had floats in the hot tub at one point and were jumping in. Loved the key code entry. Our usual condo came with keys and this was much more user-friendly as we gave everyone the code instead of sharing two keys. Host was great to communicate with. Would definitely stay here again!"

"This condo was on the 5th floor in a high rise building (ten stories) and in a great location. Caddy’s seafood restaurant is directly across the street which made dinner convenient for us seafood lovers. Our unit was quiet and had great views of the beach. The palm tree partially obstructs the view, but we could see the sunset, the beach, and the pool perfectly. The floors got slippery with water and sand, but the unit had cleaning supplies so we swept daily and it helped. Overall, it was clean,...
