The room we stayed made our 1st vacation to Florida very relaxing and feel like home it was very clean and exactly how it was listed. Very clean, the view was awesome.
Room was nice and spacious. Best view of the ocean. Enjoyed the oversized balcony. Loved the room, but would not consider renting this specific room again, due to the beds alone. The only negative was the mattresses. Beds were not comfortable, unless you like an extremely firm mattress. More comfortable mattresses would make this a 10 out of 10 room.
Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 6 July 2026
Thank you so much for this wonderful feedback — we are so glad you enjoyed the spacious layout, the balcony, and that view! There truly is nothing like it.
We appreciate you mentioning the mattresses. We do want to share that they are newer, quality mattresses and you're absolutely right that mattress preference is so personal! What feels firm to one guest feels perfect to another. We take all feedback seriously and share it with our owner.
We hope you'll give us another chance in the future. We'd love to welcome you back and make it a 10 out of 10 all around!
This property is a wonderful location! The condo was very clean and accessible to surrounding restaurants, activities for adults and kids, and of course… The beach! It’s right next to a restaurant as well as a candy/ice cream shop. The pool is very big with plenty of space, and great for children of all ages, including babies.
