Thank you for your kind review! We would love to host you again in the future.
The pool and ocean view were amazing! Access to the condo and building was very easy. There did appear to be some previous water damage on the bathroom doors and the balconies of the opposite side didn’t appear to be taken care of very well. Everything else was great!

Thank you for your review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the pool and those amazing ocean views; they truly make for a special stay. It’s also great to hear that access to the condo and building was easy and convenient.
We appreciate you pointing out the bathroom doors and the condition of the opposite-side balconies. Both are part of our responsibility, and we’ll be addressing the doors and ensuring the balconies are cleaned more thoroughly moving forward.
We’re happy to hear everything else was great, and we’d love to host you again for an even better experience next time!
It’s an absolutely beautiful condo. It does need a fresh coat of paint and a little TLC, but it is spectacular. The view is amazing! If you stay in the primary/master bedroom, you must keep the door open or it will get very hot in there no matter how you turn the thermostat. The room with a four poster bed, gets ice cold. Keep that in mind. The property is safe and secure and very few children. The children that were there, were extremely well-behaved and well mannered. It was refreshing. No loud music, people were respectful and friendly to know. We ate at Ruth CHRIS steakhouse and it was fabulous. Highly, highly recommended. We will be back.

Nice condo with a little wear and tear. Great view and good amenities. Minor icemaker issue. One of the rooms was warmer than the others and need better A/C balancing. All and all a nice place to stay.
