Fabulous location and resort.

The resort is very well maintained, with a fabulous outdoor rock hot-tub and awesome beach access. It was nice to be on the ground floor so that we could easily take our dogs outside. A lovely stay and we hope to return.

Terrific Getaway

Great unit! There didn’t seem to be anything missing that we needed to make our visit a relaxed and enjoyable one. Love that the second bedroom had its own full bath. Love the bar, love the restaurant, love the Pickleball courts, love the pool, love the beach, love the grounds - what more needs to be said!

It was a very nice resort with a great beach and beautiful walkways. The swimming pool area was well managed and it was enjoyed every day. I sure it is absolutely stunning. We had problems getting into the suite as we were not provided the key code and had to contact the host. I understood this was suppose to happen automatically. Vrbo was of no assistance and never picked up the phone line after a 45 minute wait. The host was able to provide those details. The only reason I never offered 5 stars as the upstairs tenant/guests/owners had children that ran the length of the suite almost non stop for five hours. We recognized it was New Years Eve but it was unpleasant to listen to and impossible to sleep. It slowed down after midnight but still active till 2:00

Lovely vacation home

This property was just as advertised. We loved the location as it was fairly private right on the creek. The beach is just steps away from your door. The beach was amazing, the amenities are all right there on site. We made use of the indoor pool/hot tub, the outdoor hot tub and splash pool, and park for the children. We were able to rent kayaks/paddleboards with the owners pass which was so fun! The rooms are spacious, comfortable and overall were an inviting space for our young family. As an added bonus there was a high chair and childrens dinnerware/cutlery. Beds were comfortable and the unit had portable AC and 1 fan which was ideal as we had great weather and it could get warm in the rooms. We communicated with Paul easily and he answered all questions promptly. I would recommend this location for any young family. We loved our stay and hope to come back in the future.

The Condo is very nice and clean , everything is there what you need , location is great , loved the Pathway that goes around the hole Resort .The Restaurant is very good .There is not much to complain , a great place for a Vacation .The only thing was , there was only a very small portable AC , with the hose out the Window and it was only in the living room , so the 2 bedrooms had no AC and where very hot and it was hard to sleep .The AC in the living room could not cool down the room .The listing had advertised AC , and to me that small AC in the living room does not qualify as AC .The listing should be more clear , we had 33 C for the first 4 Days there and it was way to hot to sleep .

Perfect getaway Home

We wanted to stay near the ocean, there is a beautiful view from the walkout. We loved the gazebo with fire tables. The outdoor pool and outdoor hot tub were great . Paul was patient through the entire process. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking our own food. This was exactly what I was hoping for whenI booked it. Thank you for making it easy. We enjoyed ourselves .

A place to connect with family and nature

The 2 suit design providedThe plenty of room, and privacy for two couples, a teen and a dog. What we loved most is the accessibility to the ocean— no more than a minutes walk— as well as the decks and views. The bay is warm, shallow, and a wonderful to explore. We brought 2 paddle boards. Though we are only beginners, the tranquil waters could be navigated quite easily. Walks on the beach happened every day. We also enjoyed eating out on the deck at the Pacific Moon Bar and Grill on two occasions. The service was fantastic and the food very enjoyable, and filling. We appreciated that we could take our dog on the patio. The view from the patio deck, especially at sunset, completed the dining experience. This is a wonderful location and a great place to create memories with family.

Not exactly as advertised

This property is advertised as having air conditioning, but it does not. When I checked in I asked about the discrepancy and if there was more than one fan available, and received a response about another question I asked but no response whatsoever about the lack of a/c and fans. The windows don’t open and there is no screen door to the front door, so it wasn’t possible to bring down the temperature much even overnight. Most of the time this wouldn’t be an issue, but we visited during a heat wave (temps over 90), so it was tough to sleep. The property is otherwise nice enough.

Has BUGS

I tried to communicate in a friendly way that their cleaners arent doing their job. I guess the cleaners are their friends so they must be regardless of the bugs left to be found in teh room the immense amount of dust under the head of the bed and the black mould under thw caulking of teh tub. I moved to a different room that was not privately owned that had hotel cleaning standards and also was beautifully clean and had NO BUGS... they gave me a partial refund after sending them pictures and videos proving what i said to be true ... but i only stayed 1 night and paid for 1 week .. to be sent back $400 out of $1200 and told i dont deserve the rest back is just a kick in the teeth if you ask me. Very rude. DEAL WITH YOUR BUG PROBLEM BEFORE YOU INFEST THE ENTIRE HOTEL!
