Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for highlighting the positives — we're so glad you enjoyed the comfortable beds and loved the location! We sincerely apologize that the condo did not meet the cleanliness standards we hold ourselves to. We take all feedback seriously and have addressed the concerns you mentioned with our housekeeping and maintenance team.
We also want you to know that we are always just a message away during your stay. Had we been made aware of any of these issues at the time, we would have been more than happy to send someone out promptly to take care of them for you — that is always our goal, to make sure every guest has the best experience possible.
We hope you'll give us another opportunity to show you the level of quality and care you deserve. We'd love to welcome you back!
While the place itself is somewhat dated with old TVs, slow WiFi, and old tables and furniture, the entire place was clean and tidy with a great location for a comfortable stay. No issues and was great for a relaxing vacation. Loved the view from the room and the beach access.
Perfect place for my wife and me to vacation. Condo had everything we needed along with amazing views and location. Beautiful beach and the chairs and umbrella were a bonus.
My sister and I stayed here for her birthday, it was perfect! Great communication with management, very clean unit, perfect location! It may be a bit tight for more than 2 or 3 people but it was perfect for us! Would absolutely stay again!
