This property is oceanfront with magnificent views and sunsets. It's very comfortable with a good kitchen and living space. The lower deck is wonderful and always had a nice breeze. The deck off the living room is perfect for morning coffee or a glass of wine while watching the sunset.We all enjoyed our stay very much.

This place has an awesome beach access with beautiful decor and well-equipped kitchen. Everything was great except the cleanliness of kitchen floor which was sticky and there was a lingering odor of grease throughout the main level. The showers needed more attention due to mold and the need for a towel rack or hooks in the bathroom. Pest control should visit this property more. Otherwise our family enjoyed our stay there.

Great view from the balconies and a very easy walk to the beach. Watched dolphins playing.Rooms were spacious and clean.Kitchen had basic requirments.Master bedroom bathroom exhaust fan did not work, limiting us to showering in only one bathroom. We were not aware of this problem, nor able to be repaired during our stay.Outside water hose was burst.... unable to wash sand from beach gear.Be careful going barefoot inside..... flooring had gaps or chips which could potentially cut someones foot.Easy check in.

The location was fantastic, and the condo itself was spacious with plenty of room for our family. Unfortunately, the unit shows significant wear and tear—there are multiple areas where the flooring is damaged, and we noticed mold around most of the air vents. The host indicated this is “normal for Florida,” but it was concerning to us and negatively impacted our stay.

Response from VrboOwner on 18 Mar 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the location and spaciousness of the home. We do want to clarify that what was referenced as “mold” was minor surface mildew, which can occasionally occur in coastal environments due to humidity and is easily cleaned. When this was brought to our attention, we immediately offered to send our team to address it during your stay, but that offer was declined. Since your departure, the vents have been professionally cleaned and the home has been fully addressed. We take pride in being responsive and proactive, and we always encourage guests to allow us the opportunity to resolve concerns in real time.
