Perfect for a long weekend

We stayed over Memorial Day weekend (myself, husband and 3yo daughter). The location was perfect and we enjoyed being on the top floor for a perfect view. The only thing I would say is the space is pretty outdated compared to others we have visited in this resort. Nothing to necessarily take away from the trip, but little things that either looked old/dingy or even dirty. I love this resort, but this unit wasn't our favorite.

The picture made the unit look nicer than it was. It needed deep cleaned and updated and everything needs painted. The door was a mess, bathroom sink didnt drain. Luckily we were there for the weather and beach which were both fantastic. Was a good trip but unfortunately the unit was not as it appears in pictures.

Online info states we have to bring toliet paper, paper towels trash bags, etc and yet those were provided!. May want to update your info to Match! Shower/Tub is pretty dated.

Little details

The view is perfect!!!!! It stated that it was newly renovated-I think it applied 2 the kitchen only. The walls really needed to be painted bad. Marks just about on every wall. there is hole in the kitchen floor. The table is is pushed against the wall so you can only use 2 chairs. BRING YOUR OWN ICE. We were there a week & we only got maybe 20 ice cubes. Make sure you bring all beach necessities if you don't get beach service. Overall our experience was very nice. Like I said just the little things that go along way. Again the VIIEW is top notch.

Perfect for us

I cannot tell you how WONDERFUL the staff are at this facility. Polite, friendly gracious everyone we came in contact with from the staff to the owners. People were top notch. The facility itself is an older facility thus was more affordable. I would recommend some updates to the condo itself. The bed is terrible. Worn out and you roll to the middle. We just laughed about it but by the end of the week both had back problems. The couch in the lR is the same. You fall to the middle. The bathroom is ONLY for one person at a time and the doors make it difficult to use the bathroom. We honestly were there for the beach so it served it purpose. It just could use some updates. Kitchen was great and newly updated Had everything we needed. And again the staff…FABULOUS
