Great Place

The room was clean and perfect for our small group. Right on the beach. The complex itself was also really nice with an ice machine(paid) and really easy access to the beach. I’d recommend for a small group.

Great location. Close to the hangout where my teens enjoyed walking to when the sun went down. Could have used some more cleaning. Not sure if the sheets had been washed but there were sand in the bed and the pull out bed had no sheets or pillowcases. Other than that. It was a great location.

Beach stay!

Really enjoyed the beachfront property. The condo was clean. Beach, restaurants, and all your needs are conveniently located nearby. Parking costs 50 to park for a weekend, and you can only park 1 vehicle. I wish this information was available upon booking because it was a bit stressful to deal with our 2 cars. But everything worked out as we found public parking elsewhere for our second vehicle.

Fan in the bedroom you couldn’t use because it was so loose it made such a loud noise and sounded like it could fall from the ceiling. Crumbs on the counter top and the bathroom mirror wasn’t clean. Other than that it was a nice place to stay the elevators were fast didn’t have to wait long at all. The view was beautiful and the bed was comfortable
