Great view of the bay and the location and amenities were perfect for 4 teenagers. They loved the lazy river and hot tubs and the boys fished off the bay pier.The condo was a great size for our group of 6 and was incredibly clean!

We had a great time, everything was as described in the listing, my only issue was with the actual resort staffing. The "quiet time" was far from quiet, we called multiple times and got no answer. I'm not one to complain but there was a full on party going in the lazy river well after midnight with loud music and lots of yelling. I'm glad they had fun but "quiet time" didnt exist for us.

Thank you for your review. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the property and that it met your expectations. We’re sorry the resort’s quiet hours were not enforced during your stay—it’s frustrating when noise impacts your experience. We appreciate your feedback and will share it with the resort management to help improve future guest experiences.
