There are some things that were great about this place and some things that were terrible. Overall, the pool is lovely and the location is good. Close but not so close to the center of town. However the condo itself while clean is very shabby. The tile shows its age, the master tub is gross and looks dirty, and the carpet in the master seems new and also has stains. The condo feels clean just really showing some wear and tear that just make you not feel great about the monwy you are spending. Its not For the price, its not worth it.

Stayed between Christmas and New Year's. Place was clean, comfortable but a little removed from Old Town (which is both good and bad). It was nice not to be in the middle of a crowded area but definitely need to drive to get to restaurants and other attractions. Helps that parking is included. Overall a good place to stay.

Complex was nice, beautiful gardens and pool. Was great to have beautiful views of the ocean from the pool. Shower on master bath was quite interesting, but served it’s purpose. Furniture and decor was a bit outdated for our tastes, but condo was very clean. This made us feel comfortable especially during COVID times ! The parking space in the security garage was a huge plus. Having a washer and dryer in the condo was super convenient to do some laundry mid trip.

Clean, spacious condo in a good location and great parking. Condo needs an update- most of the finishes are from the 80s. Quiet area. Wish there was a beach to go along with the pool by the ocean.
