Place was clean and very inviting. The deck has a great view and we enjoyed our coffee there. The condo is very well equipped. The pools are wonderful we especially enjoyed the heated one. Our host was very helpful and on top of everything. A great place
Very comfortable & clean unit. Property & pools very well kept. Really appreciated the ease of communication with the host. Thank you for a very enjoyable stay.
The room was fine. It was more cramped than we were expecting but we made do. It was the extra fees that were added that was upsetting. Pay attention before you hit buy and lose out like we did. Neither VRBO nor the host was helpful in resolving my issue.Also, the lady attending the pool and making sure everyone had wristbands is crazy rude. The elevator is questionable as well.
We enjoyed our stay. Clean room, had all your essentials. We will be back.

This place was great! The staff was friendly and the pools were magnificent ! They have a great dog park and dog shower in case you want to shower them after beach time. Wonderful time! I’ll definitely be back!
Our stay at the condo could not have been better. The place was very clean, check-in process was easy, and the location of the condo was perfect. One of our favorite parts was the view from the balcony. We very much enjoyed our time at Sandy Smile!

The condo is very well kept up and has many extra touches that make it feel homey. We enjoyed our stay thoroughly. Communication with the owner/manager was great too.
My husband and I spent a long weekend here and it was just what we needed! The condo was clean and Dave was very hospitable and made sure we had everything we needed.
We found this property to be just perfect for my husband and I. The place was very clean very cutely decorated and Mr. Dave (the owner) was so helpful with making sure we had everything we needed and making sure we knew what to do. They even recommended some fun things to do and yummy places to eat! It was an overall great experience ❤️
