World Series Trip

The property was small for us with a toddler, but it was a nice place to stay and had everything we needed. One small inconvenience, you cannot use the washer and dryer at the same time and was a little small for 5 us (one being a messy toddler). Otherwise, it was a great place to stay and we would book again.

Great beach front spot for families.

Loved this place and the location. Which I would’ve found out sooner that there is a fresh seafood seller almost right across the street. Great family environment and super quiet. Definitely coming back

Very clean small place

Kudos to the cleanliness of the unit. Small but sufficient. It is listed as beachfront but, the buildings sit sideways and you cannot see the beach until you walk to the end of the building. It was easily accessible to get to the beach but it would not be handicap accessible. No elevators, only stairs. It was fine.

Clean, Comfortable, and Easy Beach Access

Everything about the condo was great. The king bed and pillows were super comfortable. Beach access is great. Would recommend the owners posting the HOA Management number so when issues arise you know who to contact for immediate issues.

Inconvenient, Cramped and Outdated

After rereading the listing, I cannot say that it's not accurate, but it is misleading. This is a very outdated condo. They even managed to swap some furniture in the photos for older, uglier versions. And while the whole condo complex is technically on the beach, the condos themselves do not face or have access to the beach directly. You cannot see or hear the ocean unless you are in an end unit (not this one). My window overlooked the parking lot next door and there are no balconies or anything to enjoy the ocean from your space. Also, I would not call this place spacious. I was by myself so it was fine, but if I had had my family of five technically everyone would have had a place to sleep, but we would have been on top of each other with no room for luggage or anything. The bathroom is so tiny that I couldn't even stand in there and put sunscreen on by myself. There is no toilet paper holder which is awkward. There are very few places to plug in a phone or device in the rooms, none of which are easily accessible. And there's a foot (or less in some parts) of walkway around the king bed in the primary room. I paid last minute Sand in My Boots pricing, but I would not choose to stay here again even if it were less. The management company was very communicative, so there were no issues there at all. Truly it was not a bad experience, just meh overall as far as vibes go. I prefer updates, amenities and space to spread out. I could have stayed in a hotel and been better off.

Everything was as it say in all the online material. It was the correct amount of room for myself & 2 teenagers. Had no issue getting in or checking out. Just a pleasant experience & a great place to stay on the beach.

Cozy place

Nice , clean, cozy place for my family of four. The only negative thing I would say about this place is that there needs to be more cooking utensils and pans. That being said most people may not cook as much as we do on vacation.

Good Condo

Its small but clean. It was as advertised so nothing bad to say really. We usually prefer an ocean view so that was the only disappointment but we knew that going into it. Its in a good spot on the beach and on the strip. Close to a lot of restaurants and hangout spots. Parking was tight for a truck but it worked. Thanks for the fun week!
