You will love the 5th floor ocean views from the private north facing balcony of this studio. The Florence complex sits right on the beach. It's just a short walk over the boardwalk to the ocean. I don't think you can stay any closer to the beach!

We use 100% cotton sheets and supply plenty of nice towels for your stay.

We are located toward the north part of the island between Clayton's and Wanna Wanna. Walking distance to many places but away from the noise and crowds.
The island has a free Metro bus that picks up right in front of the building and runs until 9:00 PM.
Pet friendly. Pet fee and Pet Agreement required.

Very clean and comfortable place. Had all the fixings to cook, bake and eat with. Bed was very comfortable to sleep in. The kitchen and bathroom sink had great hot water but the shower did not, that is my only complaint is the shower had no hot water. They even supplied towels for the dog and a couple of old towels to use.

Bed was okay, had to fight with the plug for the AC unit it kept coming unplugged because the outlet was so loose in the wall. The Hot Water Heater quit working for the first 3 days until it was replaced but it was Christmas. Didn't use the Balcony much because there's a Hot Tub on the Roof of the Building next door so there wasn't much privacy. The Exhaust Hood over the Stove needs replaced it was very loud. The pool and Hot Tub were closed until the day before we checked out which sucked and the WiFi didn't work.

Perfect small but cozy studio apartment right on the beach. Our stay was absolutely wonderful. The only problem that we encountered Was that we left our jackets at home in Harlingen but the condo was perfect, the premise and common areas were clean and well maintained safe and secure. We had a wonderful time. We hope to be back.

Excellent location, clean grounds, and felt very safe. Our rental was very well equipped with everything we needed. Glitches with the AC and dehumidifier were the only downfalls, this could have been repaired quickly if communication with management responded.

Hard to sleep, too much noise

The AC compressor was the loudest we have ever heard and the dehumidifier added to the noise by a banging sound when it went on and off. The only night we could sleep was when we lost power. I’d recommend both of these units be replaced before you try to rent this unit again.
