Hi Kelly, Thanks a ton for the love. So glad you liked the condo and those views, they really are something else. Happy the location worked out and that we were able to help when you needed us. You are welcome back anytime you are in town.
This was an awesome vacation. The condo was perfect to watch surfers and fishermen and take in the sunrise in the AM. We loved the location in proximity to things and couldnt have asked for a nicer setup. Not to mention our weather was perfect. Everything we needed was available in the room and we were extemely pleased to see a toaster ive/ airfryer. Definately made the stay even better since we could cook in house if we wanted to. We are looking to book again in 2026. Tha ks for a wonderful time!

Thanks for the great review. Sounds like you caught the perfect mix of good weather, great views, and a setup that worked for your trip. Glad the kitchen gear and the location made things even easier for you.
We would be happy to have you back in 2026!
There was construction going on everyday but 3, the front desk staff except for earl, were awful, they neglected to tell us about there being construction right above our room, there needs to be a light over the table in dining room and in the closet in the main bedroom.

We’re really sorry this stay didn’t go the way it should have. The construction above the unit was an unexpected curveball, and we completely get how frustrating that is, especially when you’re trying to rest and keep a routine with your child. We weren’t given a heads up that work would be happening directly overhead, and we know that put a damper on several days of your visit.
We also hear you on the front desk experience and the lighting around the dining area and main bedroom. That kind of feedback is helpful, and we’ve shared it internally so it doesn’t fall through the cracks.
While some of this was outside our control, we didn’t want to leave things as is, which is why a refund was issued to help make up for the disruption. Thanks for being honest with your review. It helps us tighten things up, and we hope you’ll give us another shot down the road under much better circumstances.
