We had a great time at this lovely condo! The host was prompt getting back to questions we had when booking. Condo was immaculate. The pool and hot tub was nice! Building was quiet. We had everything we needed
Great location, easy communication with the host, honestly no real issues. The beds however def need replacing one twin bed feels like you’re sleeping slanted and the king bed is lumpy. Wasn’t the best sleep but we made it work.

Thank you for your feedback and for staying with us! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the location and communication. We appreciate you letting us know about the beds. Since your stay, we have replaced the king mattress and fixed the twin bed to make future guests more comfortable. We hope to host you again in the future!
There should not be a way to book if you are under 25. We booked mistakenly not knowing you had to be a minimum of 25 years old which made it very difficult dealing with the resort.

Thank you for your feedback.
Our listing clearly states that the primary renter must be 25 years of age or older, and if anyone in the group is under 25, a parent or legal guardian must be present during the stay. This is also a requirement of the resort.
In addition, the check-in instructions sent three weeks prior to arrival highlighted this policy again so guests are aware before traveling. Unfortunately, your group arrived without meeting the age requirement, which is why the resort initially did not issue wristbands.
Despite this situation, we still allowed your group to stay in the condo for the full two nights of your reservation. We kindly encourage future guests to carefully review the listing details and house rules before booking to ensure the property is a good fit for their stay.
Very clean, very family friendly. Everyone was pleasant, my husband (who does not travel well) absolutely loved it! Highly recommend!

Nice condo in a great location !
We really enjoyed our stay at this condo ! Beach was beautiful, condo is clean and we loved the tennis courts on top of the parking garage! Would definitely stay here again
We had a great stay here! The condo is in a convenient location—close to the beach, grocery stores, and local restaurants. The kitchen is beautifully updated and the living area was spacious. My family and I had a great time here enjoying the beach! We also appreciated that the beach chairs and umbrella were provided!
This was a beautiful condo and it’s a short walk to the beach! Kitchen is fully prepared for a family to stay in it so that was really great. Would definitely recommend.
Great location… far from beach.. Unit was nice and clean, and beds comfortable... The only reason I gave it a 4 was it would be a long walk to the beach… unit seems nice with modern amenities and tvs easy to use WiFi fast
