Cute Quaint Condo ?
The view was perfect! The pool was clean! The condo was exactly what I needed! The ceiling fan in the bedroom has a horrible sound when it's on. Turning it off to sleep made it a little warm. Maybe a box fan would be great to have for future guest! This was just a minimal issue. I would stay here again!

Overall we had a great time at FWB and we would love to stay again in the future.
Cute 1 bedroom condo on the beach! Great views from the balcony. It was an awesome place to stay, and we really enjoyed it. The wall outlet in the bedroom near the closet didn't work, nor did the outlet in the living room by the couch. Plenty of other outlets around so it wasn't a big deal but it was a little annoying at times.

Right on the beach. Balcony chairs. Plenty of kitchen items. Bed was comfortable. The unit itself could use some updating. A little painting goes a long way. The door to the water heater doesn't stay shut and that looks like it needs some TLC. Also update the emails that are sent. The network for WiFi was incorrect, but we finally found it on the fridge. Check in could be an hour earlier and check out could be an hour later.

Great beach condo
My husband and I really enjoyed our time at the condo. They’re is a beautiful view of the ocean from the balcony. It would have been perfect with patio furniture but due to some construction to the building, it had been removed. We will be staying again, soon.
