Relaxing

Great cozy condo! Just what I wanted for our girls trip. This condo is steps away from the beach and close to town. My girls and I wanted a relaxing beach getaway and this condo delivered! Will definitely book again!

Great place!

Location is right by the beach, decor is very nice, stocked with everything you need, communication was great! I only wish the weather had cooperated but, oh well, nothing that can be done about that! Would definitely rent this place again if available!

Loved my stay

Great location. Decorating theme was so fun. Cleanliness was excellent. Pool clean, huge, some shaded seating provided. A few floats made it more fun! Very nice grilling area. Also very clean and well maintained. Met a few of the groundskeepers. They worked tirelessly and were committed to making the outdoor environment lovely and groomed.

First timers

Very clean and quite for the most part. We stayed at one of the downstairs and people above had small children that liked to run around and scream while they played but that’s to be expected. Parking kinda sucked only because there wasn’t enough parking spots for the Walk to the beach was not bad and it was nice having chairs outside and a shower to rinse off. Definitely will stay again

Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Check-in
Nice place to stay however the check in process was SUPER ridiculous. I got (and I counted) 12 text messages, 11 emails, and a bunch of documents to mess around with for a 2 night stay. It was comical how absurd the process of logging into portals and signing docs and getting messaged constantly was. I travel very frequently and have done trips across entire continents for weeks that have had less spam from everyone together than this one property. It's insulting and irritating to treat customers like preschoolers.

The room was clean and cute. The pool was fantastic. Easy access to the beach and easy to get around on our golf cart. My only complaint is the bed wasn’t comfortable for us. I'm sure plenty of people like the stiff memory foam mattresses, but I prefer a spring mattress. It's not worth losing a star, since this is a personal preference. I will definitely stay at this property again, but we'll choose a different room with a spring mattress. A side note. There was water dripping from the third story roof that was probably runoff from the AC, but management was quick to respond when we alerted them.

So glad you enjoyed the pool, easy beach access, and getting around with the golf cart! We appreciate the feedback on the mattress and will be sure to share it with the owner. Thank you for letting us know about the water issue—we’re happy our team could respond quickly. – Life in Paradise Team
