We had a fantastic time at this property. It was perfect for the 2 of us and right across from the beach made it even better. We plan on coming back. We have shared with several of our friends where we stayed and they are very interested in booking that same condo. Thank you for a great weekend stay!

The condo was everything we hoped for. The check in process was easy. The woman working in the office was great and provided us with all the necessary information to make our stay pleasurable. We spent our weekend at the pool, strolling the beach, and just sitting on the balcony. The perfect place for a relaxation getaway.

Property was good. Only complaint was water leaking from a pipe in the bathtub. It was coming from the ac unit, but why in the tub where we had to shower.
