The condo itself was amazing. Clean and right on the beach. Including the beach loungers/umbrella service in the cost was an added bonus. The condo also provided beach amenities like a cooler, beach towels and chairs. I do wish toiletries were provided (e.g. bath soap, shampoo, conditioner.) The location itself was okay. Not a lot of dining or entertainment options nearby and Uber/Lyft were hard to order.

This particular unit was perfect for our family trip. Clean, well furnished and the balcony was right on the water. Personally, I love a unit that is tastefully decorated and this unit brought about peace and relaxation with the choices made for it. Hot water, good water pressure, updated in every square inch. The complex overall was for the most part one of the better maintained facilities we have been in. Only complaint is the elevator. It was small, slow and suffocatingly hot when inside - but I know this is a common theme for beach condos. Highly recommend a visit to this unit if it’s one on your list!

Oceanfront condo with amazing views

Overall was a nice place. The view from the balcony was beautiful. On the quiet side of the island with nothing within walking distance so uber got a little pricey but if you're looking for something thats out of the busy area this is perfect. Condo could use some updates like a new paint job and stove was really old. Matress wasn't great, woke up with a sore back every morning, pillows were so old they needed to be thrown out! Overall decent place!
