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!

Great Location

I love that this place was a very short walk to the beach. You walk through the courtyard, by the pool, and out the front gate to see the beach. There is a convenient store you do have to walk in front of to get to the intersection to cross the road and get to the beach. The pool looked really cool, but we never used it. The house itself was nice, but a But smaller than I expected. It was perfect for two adults and two small kids; I wouldn’t recommend any more than that. smaller than I expected.beach.

Cute condo with a pool

The inside of the condo and the outside grounds and pool area were very clean and enjoyable. The beach is right across the street from the condo. Bring your own beach chairs and wagon, the ones they had on their patio were rusted. Also the outside furniture on the back patio was dirty and not suitable to sit in. But the inside of the condo was great and we thought the pool was very nice. No beach view, but still a very nice place to stay.

Overall Okay, not for those with allergies or lung issues

The location was excellent for going to the beach. The pool on-site was maintained beautifully and convenient access from the unit. The unit appeared clean however as others have stated there was an incredibly strong mildew/mold smell. I presume the air isn’t ran when the unit isn’t occupied so the humidity sits and causes issues. I unfortunately have breathing issues and allergies so I woke up feeling terrible after just one night there. The couches and bed were comfortable and the location felt safe. I am only docking one star for the mildew issue and due to the fact that I did not receive the access codes or anything until I reached out to them after 8 o’clock at night the day of check in. Once I reached out they did reply timely, it would have been nice for them to provide the information ahead of time without the need for additional prompting.

The condo was spacious. Updated shower. Comfortable bed and sheets. Updated washer/dryer. All you need for a kitchen. Complementary coffee kcups. Couches need a cleaning. Have a “used” smell. The condo has air fresheners and I think the smell of the couches are overpowering them. Makes the condo smell musty. Plus, the oil diffusers have lost their effectiveness. Need to replace the sticks. Not a big issue and it’s not over bearing but something that can easily be remedied for a fresher property.
