This property was as described. Perfect location close to everything. We loved that there were chairs included and we didn’t have to drag a bunch of stuff down to the beach. The huge balcony was great! We will definitely book again!

Amazing!
Almost everything about our stay was amazing! Unfortunately, the whole building was experiencing electrical and internet issues, but that’s no one’s fault! We loved the location, the unit layout was perfect, the proximity and easy access to the beach was the best we’ve ever had! And the balcony …..it was heaven! We will definitely be back!

Family Vacation
I will list pros and cons. The places was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. Hot water was always available no matter what time of day. The balcony was great. It was big enough to put a playpen on it. The beach was not a far walk from the room. Security was great .They would walked the pool area alot. The owners are wonderful. They would answer questions when you had them. The con is the mattress were so hard to sleep on that I had to sleep on either the couch or loveseat the whole vacation. My daughter would wake up everyday with a backache. Would we stay here again. Yes, but only if they up graded the mattress and put softer mattress on the beds. The couch was not that comfortable to sleep on either. I hope this review helps.

Amazing Location and As advertised
This location is spot on. You overlook the pool so if you hVe older children it's easy to watch them from your balcony. Beach is amazing and your just steps from it. Bed was comfortable and we had all the amenities we needed. Easy communication with the owners as well. If your going in October I recommend bringing your own beach chairs. They had already put away the ones listed in the marketing but it was fine. Nice, Clean and comfortable.

Condo-Good / Management-Bad
Condo -- nice. Location ---extremely convenient to pool and beach. Beach chairs-- nice. Queen beds -- horrible and sound like they have plastic mattress covers on them. I highly recommend a curved shower curtain for the small tubs. If you like to stay directly on the beach because you enjoy listening to sound of the waves from your room or from your bed -- DO NOT STAY HERE!!! YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO LEAVE THE DOOR OPEN. It was 70 degrees while we were there, would have been so nice to leave the door open but you are not allowed. Before the trip it was an ordeal just to make arrangements for an additional parking pass. This unit will sleep 8 people and comes with 1 parking pass. Additional parking passes are $39. Did not find out till the day before we left if we would have parking spaces. They said they didn't know if there would be any other spaces available. The whole time the lot was only a little over half full. There were plenty of empty spaces There was an additional charge on my bill. When I inquired about the charge they said they ASSUMED we were bringing more people than we booked the condo for because we needed an additional parking pass??? We had a plumbing issue late on Sunday night. I called management. They informed me, as they cussed on the phone the whole time, that they didn't have maintenance to come at that time of the night and they couldn't come because they had had too much to drink. They said they would be there first thing the next morning to fix it. Nineteen hours later, after 5 pm the next day someone, claiming to be a plumber, showed up, flushed the toilet, said "it will flush" and left. They lied to us numerous times and accused us of causing the plumbing problems. They told me that we were the only ones in the building with plumbing problems. That morning I happened to see 2 plumbers in the parking lot getting out of their van and asked if they were there to work on our unit. They said they did not know but there were a lot of plumbing problems in the building. I didn't even bother to waist anymore of my vacation time trying to get them to fix it. More than once they accused us of bringing more people than we booked for, I have yet to figure that out. We booked for 7 people and 7 people was the max we had, just watch the cameras. Half the time we only had 3 people there. Then they accused us of causing the plumbing problems and told us we were the only ones with plumbing problems.
