I am glad you guys had a great time. Yes unfortunately one of our two pools did not get done in time. It was scheduled to reopen but you know contractors. But our property has 2 pools so the other one was open for use the entire stay

The condo was comfortable, clean, and well appointed (plenty of towels, dishes, etc.). Check in was super easy and the woman at the office was very friendly. And you simply cannot beat the location — just steps to the boardwalk leading down to Holiday Beach. Also a mere 5 minute walk to our all time favorite dive bar/restaurant, Beach Lodge.

Thank you for renting our place. I hope you enjoyed it and the property. I am sorry if the ac wasn’t working for you but you could have reached out and I would have had maintenance come over during your stay. The ac unit is entirely brand new inside and out. Plus, we stayed 5 days right after you with no issues with the ac.
