The place was great. Great view of ocean, nice accommodations inside. The bed was super comfy, walk in shower great. Room for improvement in the kitchen. Pots and pans were terrible! No place to store food, need a dish drainer and provide details about coffeepot, had very difficult time finding filters. Lastly we chose this site because the pictures showed recliners in the living room. Husband sleeps in recliners, there werent any and the couch was very uncomfortable. Disappointed in the false presentment. Great location, there were issues with the beach gate not accepting the code but highly recommend area and condo.- Reviewed On: 7/15/2024

We absolutely loved this place! Waking up to the ocean was the best part, easy beach access within feet from the room. Parking is easy, restaurants within walking distance.
Everything was positive minus the bed frame, both of us bruised both legs multiple times, it sticks way out, easy to avoid after the first handful of hits lol. Then the sheet, it was to small, would wake up with it off on all corners.
Other than those 2 SMALL things, we absolutely loved it and would highly recommend to anyone and everyone!- Reviewed On: 4/17/2024
