We really enjoyed our stay! The host left us alot of nice amenities and the beach/ sunset views were spectacular!! The only drawback was the current construction going on at the base of the building. But, we made the best of it and would definitely return to the area!

This place was amazing! There are chairs available to rent on the beach that they put out for you and have an umbrella- I wish this was listed rather than us having to find the phone number for the people but other than that we loved this place and the location! Would stay here again

The new laundry system is excellent, but you need a smart phone to use it. Carts provided for luggage & household items!

Spent many mornings on the balcony enjoying the view. Always love walking on the beach there and appreciate seeing all the different birds. Many places to shop and eat nearby also. Definitely want to return at some point in the future.

Overall Clean but Needs updates

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was nice and clean and there were lots of extras (beach toys, kitchen items etc) but the condo needs updating - specifically the patio doors. Part of the reason for being beachfront is the view. It was impossible to see it through the old foggy glass of the patio doors. You had to open the doors to enjoy the view (and there aren’t any screens). Appreciated the newer mattress on one of the foldouts in the LR but the other one needs replacing. Bathroom also needs updating. Also, the complex is nice but the pool is too small for the building. It says it’s heated but we were there mid May and the pool was still too cold to enjoy. Probably would not stay there again. For the price, there are better condos in the area (with two bathrooms).

A smooth get away

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay in this unit very much, everything was satisfactory and we did appreciate this beach front location. There was just a little problem with the elevator that went out of service at least four times while we were there; this failure becomes serious when you cannot climb the stairs up to the fourth floor but besides that we have nothing to complain about.
