Perfect Getaway
From the moment we booked this beautiful home, we knew we had made the right decision. We received excellent information about the property as well as the area. We loved the guide, communication and everything about this property. We loved the beautiful shower, the very comfortable bed and so much more! We loved having two bathrooms. The views were the BEST part of our trip. We watched the dolphins every single day and kept pinching ourselves at the amazing weather we had. We will definitely be back!
We had such a great time ! Everything was exceptional! The 4 days we spent in the condo were enjoyable—the beds were very comfortable , the rooms were cozy and clean, the kitchen was very functional and clean too we didn’t even eat out and cooked all our meals there!
The master’s shower was so fun and the water pressure was strong it was relaxing .
The washer and dryer were helpful esp since we had wet clothes from the beach.
The access to the beach was also easy. Even thought sky bridge was under repair it was not a big deal bec the walk across the strees was short and the cars even stop when they see you crossing. The indoor
Pool was warm and clean. The gym was also clean and complete! We even tried the sauna too!
The front desk person was very friendly and helpful!
Overall it was a weekend to remember! 1603 is incredible! We will be back and soon too!
Thank you for answering all our questions and giving us tips about places to go and restaurants around the area.
Thank you for being greats hosts!

Awesome Short Trip Getaway
We enjoyed our stay on this rental property for its perfect location and cleanliness. On top of that, waking up with blazing sunrise and enjoying beautiful sunset in the afternoon, a panoramic view of the ocean from the master’s bedroom and living room are just priceless. The owner is super accommodating to our needs. I don’t mind going back to this rental property and enjoy more memorable family time. Thank you very much, Nicole!!!
These hosts were very accommodating and quick to respond! The condo was very clean and in a great location! It looked just like the pictures and the amenities were really nice as well. Will be making a trip back here.
