Response from VrboOwner on 4 Jul 2026
Thank you for the great rating! It means so much that you’ve been visiting us for 20+ years and still enjoy the condo and the relaxing atmosphere. We look forward to welcoming you back again.
The room (1703) was clean and accommodating. The only issue was the red blender with the spout was moldy but that was something that can be overlooked. The beach view was amazing as well as the beach itself. The attendant at the beach was johnny on the spot. I will be a repeat customer as well as recommending to family and friends.

Our condo was the nicest place I have ever stayed. It was absolutely amazing!! Easy to find, easy to check in/out, and wonderful customer service.
Response from VrboOwner on 28 Oct 2025
Thank you so much for your incredible review! We’re truly honored to hear the condo was the nicest place you’ve ever stayed—that means the world to us. It’s wonderful to know everything from check-in to customer service felt seamless and welcoming. We’d be thrilled to host you again anytime!
We had a blast! Pros: Clean. Literal steps to the beach- no huge crossover! Lots of beach chairs, towels, and beach toys available. They literally thought of everything you could need! Chair service was fabulous. Communication was so easy via text with the office. Gorgeous view. Comfy beds. Very spacious!Cons: I like scalding showers and the water never got hot enough for me. The open concept in the master is appealing, but doesn't retain shower heat and offers minimal privacy. I knew the unit only had showers, but didn't anticipate how hard it would be to shower kiddos without a tub- that's on me. There also were no plastic plates, cups, or bowls which isn't very kid friendly. I highly recommend adding a cheap set. Luckily we didn't break anything but glass plates on a glass table with my 7yo was stressful.Overall we were very happy and plan to come back!

Response from VrboOwner on 22 Jul 2026
Thanks for the great review! Glad you enjoyed the clean, spacious condo, the views, and being steps from the beach. We do try to be transparent about what’s supplied, and we appreciate your notes about the shower setup and kid‑friendly dishes. Happy you had such a good stay and plan to come back.
The condo is very spacious and clean. It had a nice balcony that we could see the dolphins. The kitchen was well stocked. The main bed was comfortable. The staff were all very friendly. It was nice to have 2 chairs and an umbrella rental included. We would definitely stay here again.

Reviewer Comments:
The unit was beautiful and I have no complaints about the condo. The property, however, is a much different story. Our vacation was ruined by neighboring condos undergoing construction. The noise could be heard in our condo, at the pool, even on the beach! Property managers said they were not obligated to notify renters, nor would they do anything to make our stay more enjoyable. And their attitude was disrespectful and completely unempathetic. Due to that, I will never stay at this property again.

Fantastic time on the beach with the family, all thanks to a luxury condo with all the amenities one could ever want! For a family of five, this unit had all the space we needed and more. The kitchen is large and accommodating. The back patio facing the beach made for wonderful sunrises with coffee and late night chats with friends. Property management onsite is very responsive and friendly. We could text them with any questions or request and they were very prompt with replies. Property description, location, and layout with amenities were all accurate. We will definitely be back next year!
