I was not happy that we were put on the 3rd floor and we had to climb 3 flights of steps. I have Arthritis and my husband had leg surgery in March. There were other condoes that were empty that we could have sysued in. There were dirty dishes in the cabinet and mold in the coffee pot..those are the only components i have. We are in our 60's and and not able to do a lot of syeps.

Not exactly as pictured

The condo was clean and smelled like it had been cleaned. It was smaller than i was expecting and the pool was smaller than the pictures make it seem. We did notice a few bugs(roaches). If you dont like climbing stairs I would not recommend, they have no elevator. Parking is not great if you have more than one vehicle that is coming. I paid $36 for additional parking, but it was not guaranteed parking. They have visitor parking and if you luck up and get in a spot you are ok, but if not you will have to park down the street in a lot and have someone from your party come and pick you up which is very inconvenient. They will have your car towed if you do not have your parking pass in the car. Bender Reality did offer to let me pay $20 to park in there lot, but it is to far away. Overall we had a good time and the location is great for the peivate beach. It is located in a good area for eating and shopping. We would stay here again if we could get on the bottom floor of the condo and if only traveling with one vehicle.

Good Enough for What I needed this time except for Dish Network!!!!

It was comfortable. The clothing drawers had a musk smell when you open the drawers, just didn't use it! You pay a cleaning fee, but you have to clean it up before you leave!!!!!! Dish Network didn't have local channels to be able to WATCH LSU!!!!!!!!!

Perfect location

My girlfriend's and I were looking for a quick getaway and this place was perfect. Close to the beach, had assigned parking, and the pool was nice while it also didn't break the bank. It was a great stay for us.

Heaven

This was a clean property and had all main essentials. The only thing that I did not enjoy was being on the 3rd floor, 47 steps and no elevator. Overall it was worth the money.

Cheap but dated

Condo was cheap and relatively clean but extremely dated. Fan in living room was not useable because it shook so bad when you turned it on that the thing seem liked it was going to fly off. Staff was great during the check in process and leading up to the check in process. Pool was nice and hot tub was nice.

Disappointing

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: MIcrowave & Dishwasher desperately need to be replaced, tub still had sand in it from previous guest, single beds had a permanent Vshape in the middle, kitchen was poorly supplied (1 potholder with huge hole in it, not enough flatware for the stated # of guests, no cutting board, no strainer, etc), dining chair broke with guest sitting on it, rugs on floor were dirty, kitchen flatware drawer was so grubby I emptied it, washed the flatware holder and washed out the drawer.

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was a decent place for what we paid. Place appeared clean enough, but was still pretty dirty in some areas. We mistakenly got told we were in another room and then had to go exchange keys after already loading my belongings and 5 children into one room, only to have to do it all over. Place was very adequate for what our needs were. A pro for us was the price point and location on the beach. But we got messed with in that department as well. We were told one price only to get a call a couple weeks later after seemingly paying in full to tell us that they hadn't added the cleaning fee to our price. At that point I feel as if the price was no longer as competitive as it was and I could've looked for a better property at the new price I was paying rather than the advertised paid in full price. I have no complaints about the staff themselves, just the manner in which a few of our details were botched.

Nice but needs upgrades

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was nice. Great great LOCATION Couldn't have done any better on that aspect. 3rd floor no elevators but not a big deal. Condo was nice but needs a lot of upgrades. Paint chipping on walls, the beds are not comfortable they need upgrades Quickly and the furniture is out dated to be for a beach style environment. I'm not a picky person by no means but when you go on vacation you expect better not someones left overs they don't want to part with kinda deal. That is a reason for very little to no reviews on this condo. I would recommend but there would need upgrades before that.

But has an awesome view of the ocean, staff was freindly that took care of the facility.
