We initially had a hard time finding the correct building, but I called the host and got immediate feedback. The property was immaculate and extremely well-stocked! The beach service was phenomenal and greatly appreciated! This property also included one free admission to a dolphin excursion which was amazing! I would definitely recommend this property to friends and family!!

We were very satisfied with our stay here. It was exceptionally clean and well maintained. There are plenty of amenities and lots of extra electrical plug ins which also added to convenience. That’s a definite plus for me. Easy beach and pool access with outside bathrooms close to both. Would definitely stay here again anytime! Highly recommend!

The view was great. Could use some updating. Bed is very uncomfortable and the shower gets warm but not hot like most showers. Other than that it was decent for what we needed.

We came from IL. I messaged the host to see about parking passes because i forgot mine. Never got a message back. I did get ahold of travel person who got us parking passes. The view is absolutely gorgeous. Great location. It is a smaller condo. We had 2 adults and 3 kids and it was pretty crowded. Elevator quit working had to call it in and it didnt get fixed till the next day. The kitchen light didnt work. But over all the place got the job done and had a great view!

Nice place

It was a very nice property. Upstairs neighbors were a little loud at times, but it didnt effect my stay much at all. The Bed was to firm for me but the recliner was nice to sleep in. I would go back.
