Great location and beautiful property.
The property inside is beautiful! It had everything we needed for our trip. They keep it well maintained and it was fairly quiet considering the amount of people staying there. It is in a perfect location, it's a short walk to the beach and close to restaurants and shops. Booking the trip was easy. Management kept us informed about our trip and answered any questions we had. I highly recommend this property and we will definitely be returning.

Clean, attractive unit
The TradeWinds unit was as described. Clean and had what we needed. Everything worked.
The swimming pool was small for the number of guests and children and there were not enough lounge chairs or room for them. The pickleball court is a nice plus, but definitely needs to be fenced.

Great location and property
This was a newer construction so everything was in great shape and not worn down as some other rentals could be. It was a great size for our family and had everything we needed.
