The property grounds were very well kept. The condo itself needs a lot of love. One of the refrigerator doors was taped on and pulled apart during use and the inside of the dishwasher was covered in a film. The beds weren’t ideal and sounded like they were made of plastic every time you moved. I will say that when there is an issue, the property managers are responsive via text. We had to message the a couple time about things that were not working. One bathroom had toothpaste all over the light switch when we arrived. The kitchen itself had the things that we needed to cook, but usually in a rental like this, there are some spices and things on hand. This one has nothing at all so plan to bring everything you need to cook. Also, there are no beach or pool towels so plan to bring your own.
The kitchen was nice and had lots of space and seating for eating.
This was gross a the basket was missing wheels.
The grounds are very nice.
We called on the first night to report this. They did come and fix it the next day.

The photos in this listing appear to be heavily enhanced and do not accurately reflect the property’s actual condition.The home was noticeably worn and poorly maintained. Much of the furniture was old & had a musty odor. Paint was peeling from walls and cabinets, one television did not work, and one toilet was out of service during our stay.The beds and mattresses were among the biggest disappointments. They were old, lumpy, & uncomfortable. You could feel and hear the springs whenever you moved, making it difficult to get a good night’s sleep.The property advertises luxury hotel-quality bedding, but that was the only aspect that appeared relatively updated. Even then, the sheets on my bed were stained & had hair on them, raising concerns about cleanliness.The refrigerator was outdated, & the door shelves were missing retaining bars, making part of the storage space unusable.What frustrated me most was the lack of customer service. After reporting these issues, I received little more than generic responses. No meaningful effort was made to address the problems, & there seemed to be no concern for the condition of the property or the guest experience.For the price charged, the property fell far short of expectations. Had the listing accurately represented the condition of the home, I would've made a different booking decision. Unfortunately, the combination of poor maintenance, cleanliness concerns, & unresponsive management made this a very disappointing stay.

I booked this unit based on the price and capacity. It is a budget friendly option for larger groups. I was pleased with the value. My only real issues with the unit are related to cleanliness and aging facilities. The real selling point is the property's amenities.Overall it was a great experience and I would recommend it. We spent most of our time out enjoying the island and the beach.Positives:The amenities are top notch. We were situated between two pools, each also had an attached hot tub, and there was a small water playground for kids on the property. The private beach access is about a 2 minute walk from the condo.The property has 24/7 security. It does require you to check in on arrival and wear a plastic wristband during your stay, but it was easily worth it for what was provided. Security monitored the main entrance to the parking lot and also the private beach access so the only way to enter in either direction was with a wristband. We also saw security walking the grounds occasionally.Issues:The condo was not filthy, but there were some things missed that really should have been better. The main issue is that the 3 balconies were littered with cigarette butts which was pretty gross.The unit could use some updates, but the budget-friendly price does reflect that. The two downstairs bathrooms seem to be on their last legs. One of the toilets struggles when flushing, and the showers don't appear to be in great shape. The upstairs bathroom looks newer.

Quick getaway

The locate was great! Traveling with small kiddos; walking distance the beach, pool and local candy shops was fantastic. The sense of security was also great there. When arriving the gentleman at the gate was ready and greeted us by name. As a single mom this by far made me feel safe instantly. Definitely will be looking forward to booking again.

Hi Avonna, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. I’m sorry to hear about the inconvenience with the TVs during your stay. Our local team has spoken with the owner regarding this, and they explained that while the TVs are a bit outdated, they do still function. Sometimes if the TVs are off for a while, they reset to the original input, which can cause confusion.

Disappointed in the fact that the kitchen lacked cleaning products such as dishwasher detergent, dish soap, dish rags and trash bags. There was also no seasonings in order to cook. It would have been nice to have extra blankets and towels as well. Also, no window covering in the port hole windows made the rooms bright at night because of property lighting and of course early sunlight coming into the rooms. The mattresses were very uncomfortable making for a restless sleep.

German cockroaches

The condo that we booked at this place had an infestation of german cockroaches in the kitchen. They offered to spray and we could just go back to the room. So ridiculous. We ended up have to book another condo at a different location. Not once did management get in contact with me. Worst experience ever. The room was very outdated. Save your money and do not book here.

I didn’t get to stay here because when I checked in the condo was full of roaches. It was so bad. I have a 9 month & they were crawling everywhere.. the maintenance guy said is was an outbreak. Why wouldn’t you tell someone before getting there.. did you think we would’ve not noticed. I’m waiting for a refund. I would not get this condo again. I had to go pay double somewhere else..

Great location; unit needs some TLC

We love this complex for it’s beach access and the pool areas. We have rented several units within the complex over the years, and know that most units are full-time rentals, without a lot of frills, which is fine…we want location first and foremost. The price was reasonable and we had plenty of space for our family of 9. With that said; we would have appreciated access to the washer & dryer, as there were only 4 towels per bathroom and we were there for a full week. Additionally, the kitchen is pretty bare bones; we cook for most of our meals and would have appreciated a cutting board and some additional mixing bowls. The unit was clean and the few issues we had during our stay were quickly addressed by property management. The seating area could use an update; there was a large bar table in the center of the room with a single (uncomfortable) couch; it was hard to all sit together to watch tv or converse in the evenings. All in all, we enjoyed our stay!
