⚠️ Construction Notice (October 2025 – June 2026):
Our condo complex will be undergoing planned walkway and deck construction across different buildings between October 2025 and June 2026. While this work helps keep the property in great shape, we want to be fully transparent so there are no surprises during your stay.

The good news is:
✅ Our building will always remain accessible during your visit.
✅ All shared amenities (like the pool and beach access) are expected to stay open.
✅ We’ve already blocked availability during the weeks our specific building will be directly affected.

That said, you may hear construction noise during normal working hours on weekdays. We truly appreciate your patience as the complex improves, and we're doing everything we can to minimize the impact on your stay.

If you have any concerns before or during your trip, we’re just a message away and always happy to help!
