My family of 5 had the best time at this condo. We were looking for a place that was handicap accessible, less than 100 yards from the beach, with a pool, and could sleep 3 adults and two children. This place checked off our list.
Let me start by sharing that our family doesn’t look for perfect when we rent a beach condo. We have kids and we do not want a place that is super fancy. We’re casual. We wanted a kitchen to cook meals, a table we could all sit around, a tv room for hanging out, 2 bedrooms, and beds for 4 of our 5 (we knew one child could sleep on the pullout). While the kitchen was updated and was ideal, the rest of the place is dated. But who cares? We just needed a place to sleep, shower, and laugh when we were not on the beach. This place was our kind of perfect.
Of course, there were some cons but nothing that would lower my rating. Here’s a few issues that could be dealbreakers for other families:
1) The pullout couch is not comfortable. It really isn’t. But we’re lucky our 11 year old can sleep anywhere. My suggestion is to buy a memory foam topper for it and it should be fine for someone under 100 lbs.
2) There was a small alligator in a nearby pond. It didn’t do a thing and was fun to watch. But if you hate alligators, you’re probably on the wrong island.
3) One of the sliding glass doors needs a bar to ensure it can’t be opened from the outside.
4) This is a crowded section of the beach in July. We were still able to spread out and find our own spot on the sand, but there were always a few families swimming close by and yes, they got in the way of a few good waves we wanted to bodysurf.
Outside of that, the place had everything. There were nearby running and biking trails, 1 small pool right outside the place and a larger pool with restaurant two buildings over. Pickle ball and tennis courts abound, there is a security officer as you drive in, and the beautiful beach is so close.
