A great condo stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved staying here. We always stay in that area. The only complaint I have is the master bedroom never really cooled down like the rest of the condo. But we enjoyed our stay overall. The beach is across the street, Kenny D’s is next door, and the pool is right beside the condo (when we didn’t want to go to the beach). We will be back.

Thank you for staying with us! We appreciate you bringing the cooling issue to our attention and will share your feedback with our team for review. We’re glad you enjoyed your time at the beach and hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again soon!

The stay was beautiful, and the walk to the beach was extremely easy to make, even carrying chairs. The house was very clean and looked exactly like the pictures and description. The host communicated very well and responded quickly to assist us with some questions we had about the area and rules that we were unclear about. 6 stars for that alone!!

Family vacation

We were there for a 15 day family vacation and as soon as we walked in, it felt like home. Everything was clean, convenient and well equipped. We loved the area where the condo was situated and the fact that the beach was gated and very close. We will definately be booking again next year.

Really enjoyed our stay! It was perfect for the 6 adults that came along. Beds were comfy, rooms were great. One of my favorite things was the 2 sinks in the master and several mirrors, so there was always a place to put on makeup without taking up the whole bathroom.Lots of room in the livingroom and the dining room table was perfect for breakfast together and game nights. Its a short walk to the beach and included a large cart to tote our things. The unit is right next to the pickleball courts and a few steps from the pool. Kitchen was a great size. However I do like to cook for the family on vacation and the pans were warped and need replacing. Also really, really wish there were some basics like S/P & cooking spray. Also, like other said... they only provided 2 trashbags and 4 rolls of toilet paper for a 5 night stay with 6 people.

Lovely condo and great location

We absolutely love the location of this condo. It is across the street from beach with great balcony and it is next to the pickleball courts. It was a quiet community and not crowded. We also loved the extra thought put into items vacationers might need (umbrellas, extra usb outlets, labels and instructions for remotes, storage unit to put beach items so we didn’t have to lug them upstairs, etc.) The master bedroom was very cool and cozy. Loved the pillows and linens. Slept well!!!! The Realty company was very helpful and we easily could call them and extend our stay which we turned our one week trip into two weeks. I would definitely come to this condo again. However, there are a couple of recommendations for repairs to the unit. The clothes dryer is so loud that you cannot hear tv in living area, the dishwasher needs to be bolted into cabinet and the dishwasher door falls to floor quickly which almost hit my foot. Also the broil on the oven did not seem to work.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Cleanliness
Overall, the stay was just okay. Our first impression of the condo was how dirty the floors were. Clearly that had not been cleaned in a long time. We all put our shoes back on ten minutes into getting there because our feet were already black from walking on the floors. Cooking was a nightmare between pans that everything stuck to and half the stove eyes not working very well at all. (15 min on high and my eggs JUST started cooking). We also had to buy basic seasonings like salt and pepper, which are usually included in rentals for bare minimum seasonings. The A/C in the master bedroom was also broken, which we were brought a fan, but it hardly made a difference in this heat. The owners gave a partial refund to make this right, so no complaint about that, but still did not make the stay great having to sleep in a stuffy room. The walk to the beach is short, and it’s close to many places to eat, which is nice! Truly the only reason I put three stars instead of two. The saving grace on this stay, honestly. For what we paid to stay here though, we were disappointed.
