Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so happy to hear the property exceeded your expectations and that you were pleasantly surprised when you arrived. There's no better compliment than hearing it looked even better in person than in the photos! We're also glad you enjoyed the great location and easy walk to the beach. Thank you for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back for another beach getaway soon! ☀️🏖️😊
Nice clean place. The only problem was some lady yelling at everyone from a few floors to stay off the rope in the pool. She said that was her job. That problem needs to be addressed. I thank she owns one of the condos.

Response from VrboOwner on 31 May 2026
Thank you for your kind feedback about the accommodations. It was truly a pleasure hosting you all, and we’re so glad you enjoyed the property itself! We’re very sorry to learn that your time at the resort was affected by an unpleasant interaction with a resort staff member. While resort staff are responsible for enforcing safety rules and local ordinance requirements, we would have been happy to contact HOA management on your behalf had we known about the issue during your stay. As our first Vrbo guest since renovating and launching this property, we are disheartened that our first review was impacted by factors outside of the condo itself and outside of our direct control. However, we appreciate this helpful feedback and hope future travelers will read our reply, and know that our team is always available and willing to assist with anything we can, including concerns involving the resort or HOA when they arise during a guest’s stay.
