Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Unit 215 was clean, but that's about it. Random furnniture in master bedroom, very little space for clothing and then couldn't open drawers due to random furniture. Towel rack off wall in bathroom, ALexa didn't work, extra tiles for new floor stored in bunk room - looked like this rental was not really ready to be rented.

We had a great time

Although the sheets had to be washed when we got there, everything else was as described in the ad. Great location. Pool was clean, we used it one day due to seeing a few jellyfish, I didn’t want my young daughter to get stung and I’m not fond of it myself, but I probably would have stayed and took my chances anyway. I’ll more then likely stay here again.

Perfect for Our Family!

This was exactly what I was hoping for when I booked for our family Christmas beach trip! The condo was the perfect distance from the beach, just a few minute walk and had a great porch view too. I was worried about cleanliness after some of the previous reviews but I did not find that to be a problem (and I am a picky person when it comes to clean). The only thing I thought about was the floors felt a bit sticky but that could be what they mop with? And the master bedroom/bathroom had a musty smell which I assumed was the older carpet in it, but it was not bad. Other than that it was great! The kitchen was surprisingly well supplied which I was thankful for since we cooked all our meals there. The couch was not the most comfortable but it was doable. We had an issue with a slow shower drain but that was promptly fixed when I reported it. Some reviews said the condo looked different than the pictures. It did but that was because it was painted which I thought was an improvement from the pictures. All in all I would recommend this place and would use it again. Thank you for making our first Florida beach trip great!
