Always a great Stay!

We have used this property twice for a quick stay before a cruise! It’s in a perfect location and is so easy to check in. It has pools which is great and access to the ocean right across the street. Perfect for our needs and no complaints!

Cute condo

Condo was well preserved and clean. This is by no fault of the owner but it's loud. Music from pool party, kids upstairs etc. Just don't expect quiet.Paying for parking is a sore point if you are renting a condo. King bed is a double pieced together. Nightly live is ok. Cleaning and service fee taxes on id just rather stay at a hotel and get a hot breakfast.

Disliked: Cleanliness
•Unfortunately, the TV didn’t work during our stay because the outlets in the living room weren’t functioning.•There were no working lamps in the condo, which made the space feel dim and a bit uninviting at night.•We were only provided three trash bags for our entire stay, and just two rolls of toilet paper—this made it difficult to manage basic needs for more than a day or two.•The balcony railing feels very unstable and shaky, which raised some safety concerns.•The beds were extremely firm and uncomfortable, especially the king-size one, which has a wooden frame that digs into anyone trying to sleep in the middle.•The living room furniture isn’t practical for relaxing or gathering—it’s quite uncomfortable.•The kitchen was minimally stocked and not guest-friendly. There were only two standard-size forks, with the rest being baby forks, and many other basic utensils or cookware seemed to be missing.•The toilets didn’t flush properly, which became frustrating and inconvenient.•The dishwasher backs up into the sink while it’s running, which made us hesitant to use it at all.•We were also surprised not to have been told in advance that the building is under construction. The exterior looks very run-down, and it was a bit of a shock when we first arrived.•Lastly, all of the curtains are sheer, so sleeping in wasn’t really an option with how bright the space gets early in the morning.

Good Stay

One little hiccup at arrival with the code to the door at it being late. Realized the next day 3 codes in the description and one worked! Yay. Our call was answered and we got in. Property was clean and served to the purpose of our short stay before a cruise.

Why they chose this property

We love the awesome pools, the newer remodeled condo, large balconies and being close to the beach.

What makes this property unique

Includes a washer and drier inside the unit. Also close to parking and the back Elevator.
