We had a wonderful family vacation here! The condo was great! We really enjoyed relaxing on the large balcony when we weren't at the pool or beach. The condo was pleasantly as described. And the communication was top notch before, and during, our stay. We would definitely stay here again.

This rental was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING — definitely 5 stars! But I also have to say VRBO is truly the BEST, and I’ll be booking all my rentals through them from now on. VRBOCare really came through for us in the clutch.The rental we originally booked was unexpectedly canceled the day before our trip because of a misunderstanding involving an email asking us to confirm we wouldn’t be having any parties. I’ve been booking rentals for over 15 years and have never experienced anything like that before, so it was definitely disappointing.Thankfully, VRBOCare stepped in immediately, helped us get a full refund, and even provided additional funds to help us secure another rental. Their customer service completely turned the situation around.And honestly, everything worked out for the better because THIS rental was way better than the original one that canceled on us! The home was beautiful, clean, spacious, comfortable, and had everything we needed. It felt welcoming the moment we arrived.The host had great communication the entire time and made everything smooth and stress free. You can tell they genuinely care about their guests having a great experience.The previous host later apologized, but by then it was too late because we had already found the PERFECT space for our trip.Highly recommend this property and highly recommend booking through VRBO. We’ll definitely be back. 5 stars for sure!
