The condo was exactly as described and the check-in and out process was easy. Our only downside was that the elevator was out of service during all but the last day of our stay, but that's not the unit owner's fault. We just got a few extra steps in!

The location of the property and the view of the beach are wonderful. This property is dated and small and left the people in our group thinking the cost for three nights was too much!

We were pleasantly surprised that the photos and description of this property were accurate. The condo exceeded our expectations! We enjoyed coffee on the balcony every morning with the beautiful view. And our kids loved being able to go back and forth between the beach and the pool easily.

The elevator was out of service both upon arrival and leaving. Lugging loads of suitcases up and down 5 flights of stairs with a toddler in the rain is far from ideal. The only ice machine available was out of service, as well. There is no bathroom on the main level to utilize when coming to/from beach or by the pool.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced during your stay. We understand how frustrating it must have been to arrive and depart with the elevator out of service, especially while managing luggage, a toddler, and rainy weather. We recognize that this situation significantly impacted your experience and convenience. We are also sorry to hear that the ice machine was unavailable during your stay. While equipment issues can occasionally occur, we understand how disappointing it is when expected amenities are not accessible. Your feedback is valuable and helps us identify areas where improvements are needed. We appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention and regret that your stay did not meet expectations. We hope to have the opportunity to provide a better experience in the future.
