Great location and pools. Beach water was clear and glassy. Elevators were a bit congested and one was out of order causing delays, but the cafe was on point as well.

The chair rental company makes it so you cannot sit in your personal chairs anywhere but behind the rentals, so because we didn’t pay extra to rent their chairs and brought our own our view consisted of over a hundred rental chairs and umbrellas.

Thank you for the 5‑star review—we’re so glad you enjoyed the condo! We’re sorry the beach chair rental setup affected your view while on the beach. Since an independent vendor manages the chairs and umbrellas, we don’t control their placement, but we’ll keep sharing feedback like yours with the HOA. We appreciate you staying with us and hope to host you again soon!
