Great views!

We had a great week at this property. The size and layout was perfect for us. The furnishings and decor is outdated and could use an update… but over all very nice.

Such a great time!

This condo was beautiful and HUGE! Very short walk out onto the beach. Everyone was so sweet. We left our swimsuits behind and reached out to the property manager. They responded fast and made sure we would get them back. We would definitely stay there again!

Little slice of paradise

This was a very nice unit that comfortably slept five adults and a baby. As to be expected with a beach front, there was sand on the floors but otherwise relativity clean. We weren't given the updated beach gate code, but we found it through another CSW guest. Overall, my family would stay here again

Family Vacation

The condo was nice and clean. Has a fantastic view. We only had two complaints. It needs a new refrigerator, it doesn’t get cold. You have to ice down your drinks, if you want them cold. And the second thing is the second king size bed is so hard. But overall, we had a great family vacation!

Almost perfect stay.

Upon arrivals we were given a door code that was about 8 digits making it hard to remember. The gate code we were given to the pool and beach was the wrong code. Kitchen was stocked but we found there was not cookie sheet and the pots and pans had seen better days. Television in one of the bedrooms wouldn’t work, couldn’t get a signal. Outside of those things, we had a great time. Condo had plenty of space for 6 adults. Would certainly stay here again.

Great corner condo-spacious and gorgeous views

The condo was great-the views of the bay on one side (2of the bedrooms), plus the view of the ocean from the master bedroom and living room were the highlight. Sunrises can be captured from the balcony. There was plenty of space for our family of 5, with a full bathroom for each of the 3 bedrooms. Elevator was prompt (we’ve heard challenges in other buildings), and the location was great. You could walk a mile on the beach down to the Hangout and gift shops. We had a little issue with checkin (we were sent the wrong condo information in Crystal shores building for checkin instructions). After a lot of hauling groceries and bags to the building next door, everything was great from there out.

Great layout and great Ocean view

We really like this condo. Layout was perfect for our group since everyone had a private bedroom/bath. Loved the spacious balcony and the roomy living room with plenty of seating. Hoping to stay here again next year.

Beautiful View

Property was nice, but elevators were a huge issue for first three days. One had been broken for awhile and the second and final one was broken off and one for two days. Once elevators were repaired we were able to get on and off elevators quickly.
