View and access to the beach was amazing. The condo had everything that a family would need for a few days or a few weeks. It was very clean. We would definitely return.

This property is listed to sleep 6, but I think it’s better suited for 4 adults and possibly 2 small children.Communication was poor from the start. The night before arrival, I realized I hadn’t received the check-in code. I was told it would be sent once payment was received, even though we had paid a month earlier. After explaining this, I didn’t receive a response for 24 hours. Luckily, I found the code in my junk folder, but the email came from a different name than the host listed on Vrbo.The primary bathroom made a terrible noise throughout our stay. I reported it and was told someone would look into it, but there was no follow-up. At checkout, the noise was still happening, and I was told they had tried but couldn’t figure it out. It definitely affected our sleep.The balcony doors and windows have no blinds, leaving the room visible from the beach and allowing morning sunlight in, which is especially inconvenient for anyone sleeping on the pullout couch. The kitchen counter is also right beside the front door, making it awkward to maneuver around the heavy door when entering or leaving. The pool’s location in the front parking lot was another drawback, although the elevator worked fine.A plus was the closet full of beach supplies, but this isn’t listed in the posting. Overall, the condo has some nice conveniences, but the poor communication, unresolved noise, and lack of privacy took away from our experience.

Beach vacay

Fantastic trip! The condo was super clean, neat, and great location. Plenty of towels and the towels were super soft. Great view of the beach, perfect spot for two couples. Building attendant/guard was very friendly and took the time to greet every guests he ran into too. Attendant/guard walked the property to make sure only those that belonged with the building was on the premises. Felt very safe. Would definitely use this condo again.

The place was clean. The location was excellent. Amazing beach view. The condo is much older than it looked in the photos. They worked on the elevator during our stay and one of our guest is in a wheelchair. That was very complicated. The heavy front door to the unit opens right into a countertop, that was super odd. The unit did have a complimentary beach chair which was nice.
