Overall; great stay

Overall; great stay- we would book again. Cons were having to pick up the access bands at another location before checking in, but it was close so not too inconvenient. Would be great if you could just get these at the front desk. The unit was very clean and just as described, my only constructive observation was that the floor didn’t seem to have been thoroughly cleaned. We wore socks around the condo and the bottoms were pretty dingy after a short period of time.

Fun all in one

We loved this place! The process to check in was smooth and easy. The condo was pretty much as described and very clean. The pools were nice and heated. We loved the close access to the beach just past the pool and over a bridge. Great location which nice and quiet but just a short 10 minute drive to many restaurants and shops. It was a perfect destination for our family.

Overall pleased, but a few minor cons

Just want to list out the pros and cons for others considering this rental. Overall, this was a nice place but just like to review so others know what to expect. Pros: on the beach, balcony view, proximity to pool, very clean unit, master bath, guest room as nice as master, quiet part of island, not too overcrowded on spring break Cons: only 8 towels for 4 people (we asked front desk for more-they said no, no beach towels included even though they are shown in vrbo pics, the pickle ball courts your condo overlooks aren’t the ones for you-they’re for a different complex (you do have some in the parking lot-gets pretty hot over there), the location is not walkable to restaurants-closest is Louisiana Lagnpipe (great restaurant, but you it’s a little over a mile away) Overall it was a great week!! Thank you!
