The unit was close to everything and within walking distance to several shops and restaurants. The unit was right on the beach with a beautiful view of the ocean. One suggestion I have is to put more mirrors in the unit for when a big group is getting ready ( especially teenage girls!). The furniture felt a little old and dirty. I put a towel down when I wanted to sit on it- that would be my only complaint. The host was very responsive and communicated well. I would stay in this unit again.

Communication was great! We got emails letting us know they were looking forward to seeing us. The emails kept us informed as of what to do and when to do it. The condo was very nice and had everything we needed for our stay. Property management kept a good eye on everything. Great view of the ocean to look at while we had our morning coffee. We felt right at home. The pool a nice size with plenty of lounge chairs. Clean and inviting! There were several different restaurants, ice cream options and shopping within walking distance. We will definitely book again!

Great location. Great communication. Wonderful gulf facing view. Clean pool with convenient clean bathrooms.Condo was updated very nicely but furniture in living room needs replaced. Cleanliness and support of the sofa and chair has long since gone. I only slept on the king mattress and support there was on the lower scale but it didn’t cause sleep issues with me.

Great place to stay

Very nice location, great neighborhood. The unit was nicely remodeled. Nice swimming pool area and direct beach access. The only issues were some mold on the shower ceiling in the master bathroom and the freezer had ice in the bottom apparently from the ice maker. Overall this is a great place to stay we enjoyed our stay!

Location was great. Condo was so cute- only downside was the bedding- pillows were flat- needed updating. Bring your own pillow.
