Love this efficiency studio condo! Beautiful beach decor and very clean. Great value. Near pool, walk-out, and in lovely stucco building with red tile roof. Beach chairs, etc, included. Danielle, the rental agent, is lovely. Sometimes get put on music though. Very nice condo for a couple who like a cozy romantic getaway!

Very disappointed in this rental. Has not been renovated in many years. Low toilets, no safety rail in bathtub, ridiculous window covering. Condo was clean.

Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
The unit was tired and needed a major facelift. Cabinets in the kitchen de-laminating, pots and pans old and a few usable dishware, only 3 glasses and no plasticware to use at the pool. The toilet flushed so slow, it was crap shoot if it would go down or not. The tub needed a lot of work, it looked dirty. The drawers were full of old pillows and other apartment gear. No drawers to store clothes in. Confusing Video streaming system. The view out the sliding door was nice, but needed a curtain system and not three fabric free standing panels that you had to move back forth to screen the door from the outside view at night.
Overall the unit is in a beautiful area, and the Omni resort area is very nice. The apartment has a lot of potential and a comfortable bed to sleep in, but it did not feel like a resort get away. More like a "roughing it" vacation.
I thought the Stay Vacation site was hard to use. Every time I used it I had to login and get a login key texted to me and it was cumbersome and slow to use. We had no instructions to use about our unit and was always told to go to the website for some instructions that were not usually available and hard to get to.
