Property was very well kept and modern. Location was great. Staff was very helpful when the elevator had an issue and just had one of the inner doors not closed. Maintenance came right out for that. It could be finnicky but we got the hang of it and it was nice to have, especially when bringing stuff in and out for the stay. Views were nice, close to the beach. Pool was great as well, not deep but deep enough that you could float around in it. Would definitely stay here again!

Spacious stay in a great location.

The home was spacious which was great. The location was perfect and had a boardwalk to the beach which was nice. The pool was a nice sitting pool, not great for swimming. The home was clean but did have dishes in the sink when we arrived and trash in the garbage. We just assumed they forgot to clean that up. It is better to call the property managers if you need something rather than text. It is easier to contact them that way for a response. Overall we had a nice stay and even stayed an extra night.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, Felicia. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the elevator being out and the ant issue in the kitchen. We also appreciate you letting us know about the missing dish towels, slow freezer ice production, and lack of extra blankets. We will address these concerns with our maintenance and housekeeping teams. We hope to have the opportunity to improve your experience in the future.
