Relaxing getaway

Everything was wonderful except there was food and dirt in the sofa bed. The sheets smelled unwashed but was an easy fix. Otherwise, great stay!

Best Beach Vacation Ever

My girls and I booked this property, I wanted them to experience ocean front at least once, with the experience of waking up and seeing the waves and saying good night to them. We absolutely loved it! The condo was fabulous! We felt safe! Plenty of other families there that my kids made friends with! The location was great, we felt safe walking too the hangout and the shops at night. The owner communicated very well with the questions we had before we got there, check in went smooth. The condo had everything we needed, too bad I found the condiments cabinet right before we left, but we'll know better next time. The only thing I wished we had was a beach umbrella. But we were directly in front of where they do parasailing and the banana boat, so my girls loved watching those and we even paid for a banana boat ride. I really hope we get to stay here again, Thank you for helping us make the family memories!

Loved

Loved our stay, only issue I had is the windows on the water side didn’t have any curtains so it was bright for whoever sleeps on the sofa bed. Other than that, it was fantastic.

Will be back!

Well appointed and open condo great for I’d say no more than 3 people. Beautiful view and surprisingly quiet inside the unit. It was perfect for our family of 3. I’m glad I took the chance and favored the VRBO reviews of the unit itself rather than the overall reviews of the complex which are very poor. I wouldn’t recommend sleeping on the sofa bed mattress, after the first night my son just slept on the couch :) Small cleanliness concerns here and there-hair in the shower/bathroom, sheets were sandy before we had slept in the bed. Great location close to beach and restaurants, chair rentals, and departure points for adventures. I’d recommend more transparency about the parking pass within the listing itself for those traveling budget conscious. Additionally, the listing may be outdated and in need of review-check out time on listing states 11am however welcome message from owner states 10am. Not a big deal but could be confusion for some-we left by 10 so as to not risk being locked out! In regards to the complex itself (NOT the unit owners fault!!) - it is quite dated and mediocre cleanliness. Also VERY loud (people playing music from balconies, smoking MJ, yelling between balconies). HOWEVER as stated the unit itself is very well soundproofed-just a note for light sleepers and those traveling with small kids. Parking was easy. We loved this unit and our experience with this owner and are already looking at dates for our next trip! Thank you so much!!
