Beach was amazing! Only one elevator was working. Building management really needs to fix that issue. The beds were very comfortable and the place was very well equipped. Cleaning company could do a better job. Found items under loveseat and stuff on floor in master bedroom. Overall it’s a cute place with an amazing beach and pool!None of these issues would stop us from renting again.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're so glad to hear you enjoyed the amazing beach and pool, found the beds comfortable, and felt the condo was well equipped. We do wish you had brought those concerns to our attention during your stay, as we would have been happy to address them. We also understand the frustration of having only one elevator in service, though that is an issue managed by the building association. We truly appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear these issues would not prevent you from staying with us again. We hope to welcome you back!

Only one elevator was working and for one day neither one was working. Two working elevators would be much better for guests.

Everything about the condo was great and the location was excellent. It was close enough to places but was quiet. We loved our stay. The only downside, the pool was cloudy and the filter system didn't seem to work properly.

We enjoyed our stay because the condo was centrally located and the 3 bedrooms meant that we had more than enough room to spread out. The view of the beach and sunset was amazing!
