Condo was very nice. Toaster broke the second day but a replacement was immediately delivered. Only slight negative was the level of hot water in the main bath shower. The other shower had good hot water. Probably easily adjusted but we didn’t ask.

We rate Condo 716 - A+

This condo was perfect for me and my husband. It is beautifully decorated, with nice colors and detailed tile work on the bar. It was clean, very comfortable, and offered incredible views of the rising sun. Also, we had a question upon arrival and called Pam. She responded within minutes and answered all of our questions. As a result, this condo and manager are highly recommended!

Loved the location. Cleanliness. Quick to respond with any questions. Will definitely be back! Couldn’t get the small tv in the bunk room to work, but the other two tvs were plenty. Couldn’t figure out the dishwasher but owner was quick to respond and made a quick stop by to fix the settings. Look forward to returning in the future. Highly recommend staying here!

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay with us. I would have been happy to help you with the tv when I was there resetting the dishwasher if you had let me know you were having a problem. Always refer to the refrigerator where it says call Securevision if you have any issues with your tv and I am sure they would have fixed the issue We do hope to have you back again. I really enjoyed meeting you and glad I was able to get the dishwasher working

Nice condo and nice people!

This condo was great for our family! Had just about everything we needed. Couldn’t complain. Super easy pool and beach access. The check in and check out process was so easy! We decided to stay and extra night which the owner of the condo was super helpful. Condo was pretty clean! I feel any condo on the beach is going to have some sand in places. But overall was clean! Super great restaurants and entertainment very close to lighthouse condominiums. Everyone we encountered was extremely friendly! Would stay again!

Cleanliness

The floors need to be deep cleaned after every stay. The floors looked clean but when we wore socks the socks became dirty. When we arrived, the silverware was in a silverware holder but on top of the fridge.

Response from VrboOwner on 10 Jul, 2023
I wish you had called as I would have sent the cleaners back to re do the floors. The condo was deep cleaned December 10 and only one guest was there before you. I assume that the guest before you put the stainless on top of the refrigerator so I am sorry about that. I know you sent me one complaint that there was sand in the jacuzzi tub but then you talked to your wife and she said she had put the sand there. You should have sent me the complaint about your feet as I would have sent the cleaners back

We loved everything but. We arrived on Saturday and going to beach. Couldn’t get door to lock. Call Pam said had to wait till she could come Sunday. Sunday she called. Said would be there. We left today, Wednesday and still not locked. Pam didn’t really care about us when there was a problem. No matter why it happened she should have took care of us
Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023
Response from VrboOwner on 12 Oct, 2023
First off you called late Saturday night and I told you I could not get there until Sunday. I came by and no one was at the condo and the door was locked. I tried the code and it unlocked the door and when I shut the door it locked automatically. I tried it several times. You then called and said still not locking my husband went back and the same thing. The door was locked and when he put the code it it unlocked and then when he closed the door it automatically locked. He tried it 3 times to make sure it worked properly. This was explained how the door worked. The only thing I can think is you kept opening it from the inside and the only way to know if it was locked was go outside and try to open without putting in the code. We just could not get this across to you. When you open it on the inside you do not need a code. It is locked and you are safe as long as it you are unable to open it from the outside without a door code. Of course it opens from the inside otherwise you would not be able to get out of the condo. Yes we do care and did make several trips to help you out
