Amazing getaway

Beautiful place with an amazing view. Easy access and people in office were friendly. Only thing I would suggest is a headboard for the bed so your pillows don't keep falling on floor, and moving the bed and couch around. Other than that I would go again tomorrow! And recomwvryoen

FIRST TIME PERFECTION

This was the first time I have ever seen the beach and I am nearly 50 years old. This was also my grandson's 8th birthday present from us. The property was just as described and they went above & beyond to accommodate our requests. I have no complaints and will definitely book again. I already miss it!! Thank you!!

The view was nice with easy access to the beach. However, our tv didn’t work for 2 out of the 3 nights. They did replace it towards the end our stay with a tv half the size. The tv was replaced while we were out of the room and we came back to find nuts and bolts from the installation that were left in our bed. Speaking of the bed it’s an old spring mattress that pops and creaks with two small flat pillows. Also, covers aren't supplied for the pull out couch bed (only one thin sheet). Overall I wouldn’t stay here again.

Let me start by saying this was one of the best beach vacays I've ever had. This condo was conveniently located, has great beach access, a nice pool and the price was amazing! My friend and I are already planning next year's trip! With all that being said I do have a slight wish list coming from a women's perspective. It would have been nice to have a full length mirror. I'm only 5 ft and the few mirrors they had were hung high. Some additional bedding would have been helpful. There was only 2 of us and we still had to go buy a blanket. Let me repeat....for the price with the added convience of the beach access this place was definitely a hit!

Clean & cute

This was a great property. It looks exactly like the pictures show. It was very clean and had great security. The only part I didn't care for was that we couldn't get more towels midweek and I wish somewhere it would have mentioned the bathrooms off of the lobby. We didn't find them until our last day & we're going all the way to our room from the pool or beach. So over all I give it a 9.5/10 and would stay there again!!

Girls' Trip

We loved the property. Our view was beautiful amd our stay was perfect! The only thing I would have changed was the coffee pot. We could not get it to work. The filters were odd shaped and the inside of the pot was very black. Otherwise, perfect. The coffee pot gave us a reason to go to Starbucks!
