The entire condo was under construction when we went. It didn't feel safe in the halls or the condo itself. The location was awesome, the pool was great, and the ocean is just on the other side of the pool. Once the construction is done, this should be a really nice stay. We were disappointed in the construction and how dated everything was.

Great location!

Great location, great layout of house and enjoyed the enclosed double glass sliding doors of the balcony. There also had a dining table where we ate all our dinners! A rocking chair where l sat and watched kids play on the beach. Best part for me! Wished we could walk out to the beach from the house instead of taking back stairs. When l booked the listing said "new renovated... pictures coming soon" but it looks like they upgrades furniture but the carpet NEEDS to go. It stunk from the "tried to clean" when we arrived and it felt dirty stepping on it mostly due to the humidity or wetness. That was my one big dislike...l do not like smelly carpets. Told the agent and she had someone come spray it with vinegar. That helped a bit but l literally keep the sliding doors open and fans running all day long till close to midnight. It's hard to keep carpet clean in my own house...l would imagine even harder in a "beach wet vacation house"! For the check-in process - it was ok but we arrived around 11pm instead of asking us to pass by the office to collect keys. I wish the agent could put a lockbox at the house...give us code and we go straight to the house and open lockbox...get keys and at departure put keys in lockbox and back on door and leave. We loved the available kitchen stuff since we made all our meals. And enjoyed the pool areas....nice & clean. So overall we enjoyed the place and our time there!

Enjoyed this location!

If you love a super busy beach this is a great option. We loved the view and proximity to the beach as well as things to do. Keep in mind the pool is right outside the patio... so the kiddos are playing and enjoying the pool making this a great option for younger families but a little loud if not. Water pressure in the showers was awesome!! Kitchen was outdated but it wouldn't keep me from staying here again.

Fun in the Sun

Condo was nice and so convenient to the pool and beach. We had a wonderful time. The security guard was a bit much on their security of people being questioned nonstop, not a lot of parking available but we really enjoyed our time. The staff at Bender is amazing!

We enjoyed our stay and the beach view is amazing! The only issue we had was the shower, it does not drain (both showers), it floods up with water while taking a showering which is gross. Other than that, we will definitely be back!

The property is right on the beach. Step off pool deck onto sand. It was a little dated but we were aware if that. It was perfect for what we were needing. Small parking lot but also knew that. We would definitely go back. Beautiful town as well.

Great location!

The property was in a great location just steps from the beach. Plenty of white sand! We saw the pool being cleaned and maintained daily. We had private parking that was monitored. The balcony was large and lovely. Our condo was clean, but had not been maintained well. It was outdated and needed attention to replacing ceilings and flooring and cleaning grout.

Excellent agency to work with

The original property I booked had issues, and I won't be staying there again, but Bender Realty was amazing to work with. They worked hard to get me into a different condo. I had to move each of the last 2 days, but they gave me a refund of those last 2 days and were very apologetic. The other 2 condos I stayed at were amazing and very clean.
