Some deception in a few areas. The claim of an ocean view from the unit was not true. Had to drive to the accessible beach, to far to drive with any chairs and etc. No a kitchenet, small refrigerator, coffee pot and microwave. Hot tub was not open due to it being repaired. Room had a musky smell.

This was a great place to stay. If I had to pick out anything that I think could be improved would be the TV to get local stations and the major networks instead of Roku. The host was very quick to respond to things answer any questions I had.

Good stay

My wife and I liked the room. Not many frills but parking was right outside our door and the water was right there as well. Had coffee with the local dolphin twice in three days. The room was very clean. The only downside was the location. It's fairly far off the path from most touristy things but we knew that before we booked.

Daily dolphins and peaceful paddling!

We loved being by the waterside, watching dolphins fishing from our patio area! We too a couple of inflatable paddle boards and explored the local mangroves where we saw lots of fish? Manatees and stingrays. Some great bars and restaurants nearby with some food for vegetarians (but not much that was healthy!) still? We were on holiday and the paddling helped us burn calories!!Nice little gym too and we even took up pickleball during our stay.The accommodation was compact but perfectly fine for 10 day and two people.We really enjoyed our stay - thank you!

Thank you!

Great location. Clean condo. Enjoyed the pool and the beach. The lights werent working at the pool and they closed it at 730 instead of being open until 10 as posted. One light inside the pool was laying on the bottom of the pool. Safety issue. The minj fridge freezer was completely frozen and we turned it off for a day so we could defrost it. We had purchased milk for my daughter. I did forget to leave the pool card and will drop it in the mail tomrw. Thank you Karen
