This was our annual family reunion/vacation. This condo was just perfect in every way. There was no need to look for fun elsewhere- the pool and beach were more than enough to keep us busy.

Beautiful Property

We enjoyed our Thanksgiving holiday at this property. The property manager was very accessible and helpful. The pool was not heated and there was no access to a fitness facility but we still found plenty to do in the area. We played tennis and the kids enjoyed bike rides. Would rent the property again:)

We definitely enjoyed our stay at this condo. The views are amazing! The condo was clean and peaceful. Great communication with the host. Turtle Dunes condos are at the end of the Omni area so it wasn’t crowded on the beach where we were. The whole town was charming. Lots of amazing restaurants and shops. Highly recommended!

Great place!

We rented this for a short girls' trip and really enjoyed the property. It is lovely and in a great location. The beach is beautiful and the pool is heated and peaceful. Laily is super helpful! Highly recommend. The only thing I would say is that you should rent a car because the tram is only for Omni guests and Ubers have a tricky time finding the property.
