The property was great, room was beautiful and we loved being able to access the beach from our back door. The beach chairs were broken but we didnt have to use them since we used the rentals on the beach. I wish the broom was standard size and for a rug at front and back door but those things are minimal. The room was clean and cozy.

Really nice!

I really enjoyed my stay. Was right on the beach. Management was nice. Location great. I only have 3 things: there were fruit flies everywhere when I first got there, the front door lock was broken, and management charged me $30 for parking fee but did not wave it when I told them I did not need because have a car,

Response from VrboOwner on 22 Aug, 2024
Lori was a great guest. Unfortunately she didn't quite understand the thumb dial to lock and unlock the Digital lock from the inside of the unit. It's a simple little knob to set the door where you don't have to enter the code to enter. We found it in unlock mode at her departure. If she would have called us we could have solved this for her during her stay. (We provide our number on check in day via a text message, to solve any issues that occur during a stay). We also treat our condos regularly for pest and retreated this condo at her departure. The complex has a guest registration process that is $30 and includes a parking pass. This is a complex policy to know who is on the grounds and the fee is managed and handled by the HOA Office. It is a mandatory fee on each booking.

Close close to the beach.

Enjoyed being on the first floor, walking out the side door and about 70 steps to the sand, PERFECT! Cort was very responsive; however , HVAC was NOT cooling, humidity was above 90%,if it’s resolved we will book again.

So the built in dehumidifier breakdown occurred over the Memorial Day weekend and we couldn't get part locally. I delivered a portable hvac unit to help keep the unit cool. The humidity was definitely not comfortable and we worked hard to offset the issues. We always want guest to know that when things go wrong, which they will, we will always answer our phone and work hard to solve the issue or offset the impact!

Nice place

Location was great and loved that it was on the first floor. Place was clean and roomy (considering it’s a studio)! The beds were a little stiff but they didn’t affect our sleep at all. We loved that there were a few beach chairs for us to use! It was also nice to have access to the pool at the property. The only thing we would suggest, as a group of 3 girls, is to bring a portable mirror if there’s multiple people that need to get ready at the same time.

Nice Place

Overall, we enjoyed our stay! The condo was clean and had everything we needed! There are two things I would recommend fixing/changing. The shower door is extremely difficult to open/close. The only locking mechanism on the door is the keypad lock, I would’ve felt more safe/secure if there would’ve been a deadbolt or another type of lock to secure the room while sleeping.

Excellent vaca with my husband. Room is not facing the beach but is on first floor which is so nice and convenient!! Shower drained perfectly. Room was clean upon arrival. All kitchen accessories were stocked well! I wouldn’t take more than 4 people as room is small. Beach chairs included was amazing!!! We didn’t have to lug chairs back and forth! The pool was clean! Staff on duty were great. Washer and dryer not in roombut on several floors and worked perfectly, takes card and/or quarters to operate. We will be back!
