The place matched the description. It was clean and had everything we needed. The beach is just steps away and there are several great restaurants within a few miles. Daily emails provided info about our stay. Check in/out was easy. Walmart is just up the road for anything you need. Great stay and highly recommended.

Mariah, we are happy to know that you found this one-bed, one-bath condo to be nice, clean, and safe overall. Please accept our apology for any inconvenience caused by the ongoing renovations. As mentioned on RealJoy and Vrbo websites, "improvements are taking place at Sunbird Condominiums throughout 2023 and into 2024. These property updates will require certain unit balconies and pools to be closed and completely inaccessible, potentially throughout the guest's entire stay depending on the phase of construction. The main pool will be closed early Spring and is expected to remain closed until further notice. We apologize for any noise or other inconveniences you may encounter while these improvements are being made. Due to these circumstances, we have discounted rates. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our office BEFORE booking as normal cancellation policies will apply to any new bookings. Construction dates are tentative due to weather, unforeseen delays, etc." Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
