This beautiful condo has everything you need for a fun filled vacation at the beach! Be the closest to the beach without having to pay beachfront prices! This unit is in one of five separate buildings and this building is closest to the beach. The three bedrooms are very spacious with a large primary and Jack and Jill guest bedrooms off of a central hallway, the layout is perfect for a family or three couples. This condo is equipped with just about everything you need. Fully equipped kitchen, flat screen TV's in every bedroom and the den/living area .Enjoy views from the oversized balcony of the protected refuge while taking in a picture perfect sunset from any of the 4 rocking chairs. Push button stoplight is directly in front of the condo and stops traffic within 3 seconds. This brings you to Romar Lakes' deeded boardwalk with direct access to the sugary white sand. Elevator is conveniently located near the front door making arrival and departure extremely easy, or you can take the one flight of stairs to the front door. Wolf Bay Restaurant, a local favorite, is located at the entrance of the complex. You will not be disappointed !!

We enjoyed our stay at this condo. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others. It's very conveniently located and the condo itself was coinsurance, well stocked, and clean. We enjoyed having the 2 balconies and being able to see the beautifully sunsets from the back balcony. We enjoyed the pool, it was never overcrowded and the water was always warm. And the short walk to the beach was nice.

We had 4 adults on our family vacation- Great location! Truly minutes to the beach and yes you cross a busy highway but as soon as you push the walk button all traffic stops immediately! It was amazing! Loved looking out at pond but thought it was behind the condo not on the side. Condo was easy to get to, clean and host truly made check in and out procedures easy. No regrets definitely 5 stars all the way across.

We loved this condo! It was perfect for 6 adults. It was clean, spacious, and a short walk to the beach. We did run into a few issues, however. The first issue was that the fridge and freezer did not get very cold for the first 24 hours. For example, popsicles that were placed in the freezer were still liquid over 12 hours later. Luckily, this issue seemed to resolve itself by Saturday night.Next, there was no hot water in the unit. The owner sent a repairman the next day (Saturday) who spent about 4-5 hours in the condo. We had hot water by Saturday evening.Finally, the code on the door stopped working on Sunday after 10 am, even though we were booked through Monday at 10 am.All of our issues were resolved quickly, which was great! Unfortunately, the owner did insinuate that some of these issues were our fault ("The guests before you had no issues.") and even asked if we were typing in the correct code on Sunday... as if we hadn't been using the correct code the entire weekend...

Thanks for the review! It’s unfortunate that all of your issues were coincidental and yes, the previous guests did not complain about a thing. I have no control over a water heater element failing. I did spend $1200 to replace it instead of replacing the element. Lastly, the battery went out on the lock. This is controlled by the lock company, not me! But thanks for booking and so sorry for your unfortunate issues which were all dealt with in a timely fashion

Ladies' Week at the beach.

This was such a lovely condo for a girls' week at the beach. The property was clean, the kitchen was well appointed, and it was a pleasant surprise to find boogie boards in a closet. My mom really enjoyed sitting on the porch and watxhing the turtles in the pond. The sunsets were spectacular! And the walk to the beach was ridiculously easy, could not have been better for being across the street.

Great Beach Getaway

The location was great, just across the street from the beach with easy beach access. The unit was spacious, giving everyone privacy when needed. We had issues with the TVs in 2 of the bedrooms which were not resolved. However, the owner of the property was quick to respond. So, bonus points for that. Would definitely stay again.
