Exactly as listed
No surprises about the condo. Management was great. Pool is great. Property is dated but as described and shown. Elevators were a major issue.

Great stay
It had everything we needed for a family of 5 with small children. The guide provided with local tips was super helpful. It helped us find a beach with free parking and bathrooms that wasn’t crowded. The pools were warm and clean. Nothing was overcrowded. The only downside was the elevators were unreliable. Not a fault of the condo owner but hopefully fixed before our next stay. We expect to be back!

Awesome Condo
We were very impressed with the updated and cery clean condo. It felt like we were at home. Our family met multiple other families at the pool that we are continuing to talk to. It was a fantastic experience. Communication from start to end was awesome.

Building old but nice condo.
For the building:
Parking was easy but finding a luggage cart was definitely not. They have grocery buggies which is trashy. Gym is closed due to construction but the listing states all amenities were open so that was disappointing. Noise level in building is outrageous. You can hear people pushing carts, running and talking out in the hallways! Building is a lot older than I thought, needs a lot of work/updating on the outside. We would stay again but hopefully the outside of the building will be updated by then. The Pool is awesome!!! Pool is 5⭐️Stars!!
Inside the Condo:
Condo is nice and newly updated which is why I picked that one. No remote in master bedroom so I had to text the owner for one which was easy communication. Pull out couch bed is not comfortable at all and makes a lot of noise when moving around. Sometimes the AC make a huge thump when it cuts off.l which will wake you up. The trash can makes a huge noise after it closes. The smell inside this condo is not pleasant at all so we went and bought air freshener to use. Overall the inside of the condo was nice but definitely tiny for my family of 4. They are stocked with everything and more! The condo did not list this but they DO have: a beach wagon, umbrella & stand, beach towels, toys, cooler & chairs. The condo kitchen is well stocked with all kitchen essentials. Would be nice to have one of those built in shower soap/shampoo/conditioner dispensers since we forgot our soap. Overall nice inside condo.

Relaxing, Fun, & Convenient!
This condo had everything we needed for our family weekend vacation. With great views of the pool and ocean from our balcony the condo provided cleanliness and comfort. The master bed was 10/10, so comfortable I couldn’t wait to go to sleep at night. The condo also provided a wagon and ice chest for us to hold all of our towels and things for the beach or pool! We will definitely be requesting this same condo for our next trip!
