We weren’t able to rent the condo we’d had the previous 2 years, but with help from the awesome staff we found a great unit. Upon arrival our door code wasn’t working. We called the office & received a new code promptly. The condo was spotless. We appreciate the mobile checkout option as well.

Breathtaking Views

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My mom, sister and I took a girls vacation and stayed at this condo which was beautiful inside and out. The view is absolutely amazing and unobstructed and also away from the pool area which can get noisy while sitting on the balcony. The condo is as exactly as it appears in the pictures and is equipped with most things needed. The only issue we had was the bed was hard as a rock and very uncomfortable for my mother and I to sleep on. The only other thing which is probably out of their control was beach service. The guy saw us struggling with My mom‘s wheelchair at the steps And did not even offer to help. We did have the beach wheelchair but we had to use her regular wheelchair to get her to the steps. I still give this condo five stars overall! The views and the memories made up for it ❤️🏖️

While there are plenty of dishes, some Tupperware bowls or mixing bowls would have been nice. I ended up buying and leaving a hand mixer and mixing bowls with lids.

Good afternoon, we are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We are so sorry to hear that your unit was missing those items. We wish you would have called us to inform us as we would have sent housekeeping over to bring those items to to you as those items are included in your unit. I will be sure to send this over to housekeeping so they can go and check inventory and verify those items were missing or misplaced. Please be sure and remember to utilize our return guest discount for your next stay with us.
