View was very nice from upstairs balcony!! Location is incredible- within walking distance to the beach. The beach did not disappoint! Everyone loved the condo except for the AC system- it was never cooler than 76 - upstairs was always even warmer! Hank goodness for the ceiling fans and extra box fans in thh by a closets. Loved having a washer & dryer in the unit except that the washer lost its spin & drain cycle the night before we left? When I spoke to maintenance the morning we were checking out, I was told that I could’ve called & reported the AC problem - we just kept thinking that it start cooling better - that was on us! Family & guest very pleased with roominess of everything and 2-1/2 bathrooms were a definite plus!!

We really appreciate your honesty about the AC and washer issues. We always want our guests to be comfortable, so it’s helpful to know where we can improve—and we’re so glad the ceiling fans and extra box fans helped in the meantime. Next time, definitely don’t hesitate to reach out right away so we can address any issues during your stay! It sounds like despite those hiccups, your family had a wonderful time, and that truly makes us happy. We’d love to welcome you all back anytime for another amazing getaway!

End of summer trip

Had family stay and a nice time was had by all. Clean, comfy and roomy for our group of 6. Queen beds were comfy but noisy with any sort of movement. Drain in upstairs hall bathroom shower didn’t drain well. All in all we enjoyed the place. This is our second time in this unit and we’d definitely stay again.
