Thank you for choosing us as your Property Management Company and for the 5-star review. We are beyond ecstatic you and the Family enjoyed the beautiful views and the stay. It would be an honor to Host you again in the near future. :)
We vacation in PCB every 1-2 years and this has been our favorite place to stay now. It fit all 8 family members comfortably and it was extremely clean. Thank you for making our experience so much fun!
Clean, cozy, and amazing views. Everything we needed was right there..jet ski, parasailing, fishing pier, shopping etc. Will not disappoint.

The condo was beautiful and spacious. Everything was as advertised, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Our only complaint was smoking in another condo prevented us from enjoying the balcony.
We absolutely loved our stay and we usually don’t like staying at the same place twice but we definitely would with this one! The view was amazing in the corner unit, the beach was not at all crowded and we felt like everything we needed was in very close proximity. The only complaints we had the entire stay was the bedroom balcony door was a little hard to shut and the elevator wait was little slow, and parking garage was little tight for larger SUV’s but overall the condo itself was perfect!
The rooms were very clean. The kitchen was well stocked. Loved the filtered water on the door of the fridge. The ice maker did not work. I reported it to management but was not fixed during our stay. We bought a bag of ice and kept in the freezer. Hopefully it will be fixed for the next occupants. My husband was sooo glad there were recliners. Not many condos offer recliners. The view of thee beach was beautiful!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the cleanliness of the rooms, the well-stocked kitchen, the filtered water on the fridge door, the comfortable recliners, and the beautiful beach view. It’s wonderful to know these details helped make your stay special. We sincerely apologize that the ice maker was not working and that it wasn’t resolved during your visit. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we will be sure to pass your comments along to our local team so they can address the issue for future guests. We look forward to welcoming you back for another wonderful getaway in the future.
Location was awesome right on the beach, the condo was spacious and pretty clean and well prepared overall. The beds were uncomfortable due to the mattress and the unsturdy bed frame. But overall it was a great stay and will definitely be back.
