Excellent unobstructed beach view. Needs newer Cookware as the pots n pans are old and beat up. Otherwise everything needed for kitchen was very good. Floor needs to be mopped clean not just swept or vacuumed. Very dirty. Bathroom very clean. Would like better and more towels. Overall great place to stay!

The host never once responded to the multiple messages we sent regarding the broken toilet. We ended up calling maintenance twice but finally gave up when they never did follow through with fixing the issue. Our only option the entire stay was to remove the back of the toilet lid and reach in to physically remove the plug as the chain was completely broken. The water in the shower was warm at best, and the unit itself was rough and needed much maintenance. The only good thing about the unit was the ocean view. The awful customer service was very disappointing.
Broken toilet paper holder.
Broken towel wrack.
No chain/broken chain. Had to manually lift the res plug for it to flush.
Deferred maintenance in the kitchen. The drawers and doors were very unstable and dirty.

Great location

Right on the beach with a large beach area to enjoy a day in the sun. Located right across from John’s pass, so walking distance from food, beer, souvenirs, and water activities. I had a nice relaxing long weekend and didn’t have to get my car for anything.

Beautiful condo in a beautiful location. Communication was easy person who answered the phone was very friendly and check in process very easy. While the condo was beautiful, we had no sheets for a murphy bed and no extra pillows with pillow cases. Dishes were left wet sitting in water in the cabinet, looked like they had butter on them. The floor made our feet black within an hour, not enough towels left for showering. However, this property is beautiful and it is in a great location and it was quiet and family friendly. Property was also up to date and beautiful inside.

No sheets

When get in and had no sheets for the pullout couch or murphy bed. We told them at 530. We didnt get the sheets till the next day. So my friend slept on a stained bed with no sheets. They set one set of sheets outside the door the next day. We had 3 people staying there and had 2 operable beds.
