The condo was in a great location,the condo itself was spacious clean and the owner was very pleasant and courteous, checking in was pleasant. The grounds is beautiful. The only complaints I would have is I wish there was bigger parking spaces other than that it's that kind of place where you wait to go back

This condo was amazing. The bed was comfortable and I love that the pool was right behind and right off the back porch. My only suggestion was you need more mirrors around the place just not in the bathroom and bedroom that was covered by the TV.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The condo was in a great location, which made it convenient for everything we wanted to do. The hosts were very responsive and easy to communicate with throughout our stay. That said, the unit itself was difficult to find, could really benefit from a deep cleaning, and had a strong musty odor that made it less comfortable. With a little more attention to cleanliness and upkeep, it would be an excellent place to stay given the location and hosts.

Between parking and cleaning fees value for money on a one night stay is dire - arguably that one is on me for not reading to the last paragraph of the listing, but when the parking fee adds 20% to the total price of your stay it is a tough one to swallow regardless. The living area was not set up as shown in the listing, the sofa bed was there but the other sofa was split out into two uncomfortable sectionals. Bedroom tv is very slow to the point of being barely functional if trying to use an app. Strange notices also displayed requesting that makeup be removed before using linens or towels, felt a bit off to us as if they’re trying to get away with not cleaning. Property was otherwise fine, but we wouldn’t return.

Stay here!

This condo was perfect for my family of 5, including 3 teenagers. They had everything we needed! Having direct access to the pool 10 steps away right out the back door was perfect. The patio held all of our pool and beach items and kept the mess and sand outside! Super easy access across the street from the beach, and the wagon was SO convenient to have! Great location away from the crowds, the beach was private and so clean. We will stay here again!
