Thank you so much for your feedback! We’re glad to hear the unit was perfect overall and appreciate you bringing the door issue to our attention. The squeaking was due to the hinges, which have since been adjusted and repaired. We're always grateful when guests let us know how we can improve. We hope to host you again soon!
Warm regards,

The air wasn't working when we arrived, but they promptly brought portable units out and had the central air working the very next day. There were no problems during our stay. The condo was nice, comfortable, and clean.

Great place. clean. Good location. Easy acto pool and beach. Our only downfall was, a bar and grill across from our side of the condominium that played loud music all night and our 2 children had the rooms up front. By the way the rooms are set up. But otherwise a great stay. We plan on going back in the future!

Issues C-2
The bathroom has no air vents. The sofa sleeper wasn't even fit for a dog to sleep on , we had to put a air mattress on top of it. I have stayed at several units at Sugar Beach of this would be my last recommendation. Also I had 2 charges on my credit card that was not on the contract that I signed and sent back to Realjoy.

Carol, We are sorry that your stay was not what you hoped it would be. We will pass along your comments to the owner for their consideration. The 2 additional charges to your credit card were the VRBO fee and then the rental fee for the extra day you added to your stay. We hope you enjoyed some time on our beautiful beaches and had a safe trip home.

Quick Getaway
I have to say with everything in the area being so busy this was a very calm and laid back place to relax. We enjoyed not only the room but the area as a whole. Would recommend to anyone wanting to get away.

It was a very pleasant visit. We enjoyed it VERY much.
Those services were not available through this property, that Inknew of. Lights did not work on the balcony. The sofa bed was most uncomfortable. The vacuum cleaner suction really was not good. The door lock, either we didn’t know how to operate it, or it might need to be looked. Otherwise, it was great trip, and interaction by text and phone calls were very professional and the return contact was quick. Thank you.

Bike week
The view was okay, I was under the impression it was on the beach but we did have a little pond for a view. The water pressure for the showers was excellent lol. Very cute & very clean.

Nice get away
the property was very clean and nice. Bigger than expected as well. I definitely recommend. The only thing is I thought we were closer to the beach than we were. It wasn't a deal breaker though.
