Very good

It was pricey, but that's not my major complaint because it was last minute and beachfront. It's the fact that the pull out couch was broken and I slept on the floor so my girls can have the bed. I also didn't appreciate the roaches climbing on me
Very friendly, great property, plumbing is a little old and wonky but the staff is prompt at coming to the aide

Agree with many other reviews. The location is fantastic, parking is extremely tight, wasn’t very clean, ceiling fans are completely covered in thick dust, super low water pressure in showers, zero communication regarding where and how to check (I only knew because of reviews), and there is no elevator for those who would need it.
Overall, our stay was ok. Wouldn’t stay again for the price.

We were pleasantly surprised with our condo. It was very comfortable and kid friendly. It was very well kept and clean. The only issue we had was with parking but they were very courteous and helped us with parking at the hotel. The views were stunning.

The proximity to the ocean was fantastic. Our room had a damp odor, the fans and blinds were extremely dirty. The terraces see like they could use an update.

Nice views
Comfortable beds with beautiful view. Somewhat basic, no bathmats, one towel per person, kitchen table dirty
No oven mitts, kitchen towels or way to clean pots and pans. Make sure you bring your own.
Out of date tvs and love seat cushions coming apart
A/c worked great
its a good unit for larger groups. deck seats comfortable.
I’ll start off with the positives:
The room is air conditioned and spacious. The terrace can 3-4 people max. The fact that I was about 40 or so steps from the beach was the ultimate plus. I didn’t need to cook anything since there were restaurants left and right which were easily accessible for
the location. They were even willing to offer an early check in which was cool.
The negatives were not that many but noticeable. The room can use an upgrade (paint/updated appliances/Clean the mold and water stains). I get it, it’s the first floor but it’s still a place that you’re paying $400 for so you would expect to get your moneys worth. If you’re on the first floor then be prepared to hear anyone that will be staying above you and there isn’t anything you can do about it, that’s just the way the unit is built. I wished they showed the other properties for their location as additional options as I only saw the terrace and the apartment. They also have a hotel right next to the terraces which would’ve also been helpful. The parking was covered but tight, especially if someone is parked next to you.
Overall I can give this place a 7/10, would’ve been a solid 9/10 if the upgrades were made.

Very good location. Clean and well equipped. Kitchenette was adequate but no ice maker. Smoke detector was missing. Pool is exaggerated a bit in the photos. It is small and shared by all of the properties. Beach access is awesome. Chairs and umbrellas are provided. Parking is easy and private. Staff was so nice and helpful!

Super close to the beach and very cute little place. The gentlemen doing the check in were very nice and friendly. I think the housecleaning staff may have overlooked a few things because our bed didn’t have a top sheet - it was in a bag on the sofa, which was odd. So I had to remake the bed myself with the top sheet. And they forgot hand towels so we just grabbed our own out of the utility closet. Overall a great stay.

Stay July 2025
Parking extremely tight. Tandum parking with other properties parking at different angles next to you making it hard to maneuver. Terrance 2 very large with 3 queen beds and trundle bed in delirium as well. Old property but met our needs well. Nice balcony with lots of seating overlooking ocean. We could stay again. If you are looking for fancy or new, this is not the place however it is nicely done, very spacious. Staf was very nice and accommodating. We would recommend if anyone looking for a roomy place with good accommodations and view of ocean with easy Walk to beach, but not new, yet nice. We enjoyed it.

Great location
Great location, great large space. Great view. Close to the beach. Decent, clean pool.
Beds were not super comfortable, some of the front desk staff were not super friendly, others were nice. Other staff around the premises were friendly. Parking for the terraces was awful. We damaged our vehicle trying to force into the space. More toilet paper and paper towels would have been nice and more clean towels.

Great view if 3rd floor.
The set up was a little different since you had to check in at the neighboring hotel. We were on the 3rd floor terrace which provided the only unobstructed view of the beach. My issue were with the rugs. They didn't seem as clean as they could be.
