Quiet, peaceful and relaxing!

Would be better if living furniture were updated.
Response from VrboOwner on Mar 6, 2026
I appreciate the review! The living room furniture in this unit is only a couple years old and is still in great shape. The furniture in the last unit you stayed in is nicer than the average condo furnishings since I own that one and I always put recliners and leather in my units. I will let the owner know that when its time to replace the current furniture she may want to consider leather as well. I appreciate your repeat business and look forward to your next trip!

Property was clean besides someone forgetting to flush their poop. That was an unwanted surprise. Besides that, we had a great view of the beach from the balcony. Instructions were very detailed and access to the property and amenities were a breeze!

Response from VrboOwner on Jun 3, 2026
I appreciate you writing us a review. I contacted the cleaning company about the toilet not being flushed because they take pics after every clean. The pics show that the toilet was clean and nothing was in there. I have contacted the HOA to see if they would review the camaras to see who accessed the unit between the cleaners leaving and you arriving. I apologize that this happened and if at all possible I will find out how that happened and prevent it from happening again! I appreciate your understanding and welcome you back anytime!

Unit was very clean and well equipped (but don’t forget extra toilet paper as you’re reminded to), view of beach and night time crab scavengers with flashlights was great. Having rental chairs and umbrellas was convenient and the dude setting up was very friendly (teenage grandluvs were happy to make the rentals for us). Parasailing was within walking distance. Host Terry was readily available and very accommodating as I had to change dates once. Parking was perfect, elevators were fast!! Everyone in town (shops, stores, restaurants) were amicable and friendly. We hope to return soon.

The only thing we did not love about the property was the amount of sand left on the floors when we checked in. We understand it is a beach stay and sand is likely, but there was an excessive amount of sand left on the ground after cleaning. We greatly appreciate you all letting us stay and would love to stay here again. Great convenience to the beach, activities, and dining options!

I appreciate you writing us a review. The battle of the sand is real! It is impossible to get all the sand out. After the cleaners are done an inspector checks the unit and drags sand in, then guests checking in with luggage brings more sand, it is an endless battle! Keep us in mind for your next trip!
