The condo was very beautiful and clean inside. The only issue we had was we lost internet to condo for two nights and the toilet was barely flushing and then stopped. I messaged the owner to let her know so she could get the amenities fixed before the next person visited the condo. Loved the close access to the beach and despite previous reviews, we really cannot hear the bar on the other side of the hotel next to us. The hotel next to us did play music but they wrapped it up by 11 o’clock each night. The the kitchen, the bathroom, and the bedroom were very nice and looked brand new. The pictures on the website don’t justify how beautiful the condo was. We enjoyed our stay and will be back.

A True Gem

What a great place to stay. It is exactly as described, very well appointed and very tastefully decorated. We had everything we needed to comfortably enjoy our stay. The location is perfect. We would have our breakfast on the deck and listen/watch the surf. Couldn't have asked for anything more. Definitely a place we will visit again and its location on the island was perfect for us. Thank you for taking the time for being so thoughtful and gracious.

Quiet Party

My husband and I booked this property as a birthday weekend getaway. The condo was beautiful and clean, with a great view of the ocean. It was steps away from the beach and had two clean, warmed pools on the property. The property was right next to a big bar and we were left undisturbed, with the doors closed you wouldn’t even know it was there. We were able to enjoy the music from the balcony. The view of the sunrise was spectacular and we will definitely be visiting again.

Great Condo & Great Location

We were there for 4 nights. Somewhat older property, remodeled very tastefully. A perfect place to stay for a couple. Beachfront with great sunrises. Nice beach for a 3 mile walk. Clayton's, 2 doors up, had fabulous fireworks on Friday and Saturday. an unexpected surprise. Will definitely look to stay here again, for a longer time!
