Amazing apartment steps to beach

We stayed 9 days for the holidays and the apartment is super comfortable and convenient with all you need for a stay. It didn’t suffer any damages during the last 2 hurricanes, and the houses around affected are being remodeled but the public areas have been cleared, most restaurants and stores are also back to normal. The community has been working hard to get back to 100% and even making extra improvements. We enjoyed our time and have stayed in this property many times and continues to be our favorite.

best location and comfortable

this is a great place, very clean and comfortable with everything you need, just steps from the beach. You have comfortable parking, a "lanai" on the ground floor and area for BBQ. The other unit neighbors are not an issue since only shares the living room wall so rooms are very quiet. It is great to have washer and drier inside the unit. And the AC works great!!!

This is my fourth time staying at this property. Love the location, as it is walking distance to the beach and trolley. Really appreciated having the barbecue and the screened in lanai for suppers. Laura was always there for any questions or concerns during our stay. Would love to return in the future.
