Loved the location, the view and sounds of the ocean was lovely. Easy access to the beach which was perfect. Room was clean and had everything needed. The shower was a little tricky, and you could hear movement from upstairs. The pool was close and loved that it was a gated community with quiet hours. Overall loved it and would stay here again!

The blue bubble theme was calming and perfect for a beachfront condo. I enjoyed my stay and would book this property in the future. The only thing that would increase the appeal would be an earlier check-in (3:00 PM) and a later check out (11:00 AM).

The ocean view was fantastic!

Small break with my family. This was my family first time together staying in the coast. We had a small budget, and this lovely place made possible. The room isn't the newest , but was cleaned, well decorate( very cute!), the kitchenette was perfect, well stock( with coffee, sugar varieties, pans, cups, ice tray....) But the best part was the view, amazing! Also super easy access to the beach(in a beautiful path). Also pool was super nice( not heated), my husband and daughter enjoyed their time on the pool.
