Great location and pools. Beach water was clear and glassy. Elevators were a bit congested and one was out of order causing delays, but the cafe was on point as well.

The chair rental company makes it so you cannot sit in your personal chairs anywhere but behind the rentals, so because we didn’t pay extra to rent their chairs and brought our own our view consisted of over a hundred rental chairs and umbrellas.
Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 17 Nov, 2025
Thank you for the 5‑star review—we’re so glad you enjoyed the condo! We’re sorry the beach chair rental setup affected your view while on the beach. Since an independent vendor manages the chairs and umbrellas, we don’t control their placement, but we’ll keep sharing feedback like yours with the HOA. We appreciate you staying with us and hope to host you again soon!

The balcony was perfect for slow mornings w/ coffee and pretty views. It was located on the second floor, so we were able take the stairs & not have to wait for the elevator each time we went somewhere. The beach is close and beautiful.

Above pool and near tiki hut so it was always very loud. Tiki hut had loud blaring music all day. Washer\dryer unit worked very poorly and took the entire night to dry one load of towels. White floor rug was VERY dirty. Furniture didn’t look old but was generously used. We will never come here again.
Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 12 Nov, 2025
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your stay didn’t meet your expectations. We’d like to clarify a few points for future guests: The Tiki hut and pool are shared amenities designed to enhance the vacation experience, and while it can be lively during the day, many guests enjoy its festive atmosphere. The unit has hurricane ready doors so if left closed properly, noise is typically at a minimum. The pool and Gulf views from the unit are among its most-loved features, offering a relaxing and scenic backdrop. Regarding the washer/dryer, it is a modern combo unit that typically performs well—many guests find it convenient for use during their stay. There is also a commercial washer/dryer available just two door down from the condo if guests prefer to use that. We’re also committed to maintaining high standards of cleanliness and furnishings, and we’ll continue to monitor and refresh items as needed. We appreciate your comments and wish you all the best in your future travels.

We had a terrific stay. Only complaint was other tenants that were loud in the hallways outside but it is because there were a bunch of teenagers there for a baseball tournament. The unit was fantastic.
