Pretty good place to stay close to beach
Overall the stay was great. The only issue we had was that the bathroom was not extremely clean. We found the previous guest’s hair all over the bathroom and especially on the shower wall.

Please don’t hesitate to let us know if something is missed during your stay—we’re always happy to make it right. We’ll address this with our cleaning team to ensure it doesn’t happen again.

Great Condo
Overall great condo. Location is fabulous. Close the the beach and the pool is quiet and was never crowded. Kitchen was well stocked. We had a maintenance issue upon arrival, but the maintenance team had it promptly fixed. The refrigerator smells awful And could really use some blackout drapes in the master. Other than those small things, it was great!

A Great Stay
Our stay was very good. The condo was a bit small but not bad. Our ac unit stopped cooling the first night but they maintenance out within an hour after us calling them and took care of the issue. We really enjoyed the pools. We will definitely be returning soon.

Hit and Miss
Cute unit. A/C was frustrating during night time hours. Cleanliness rated as a B+. Best part of the unit was the shower. Need to engineer the unit with the extra shower space to accept a dishwasher and easier access to the washer/dryer.
Very disappointed with the amount of 4 wheelers that were allowed on the property. Golf carts were fine, but the 4 wheelers were a complete disruption.

Good modern place
There's no such thing as a good value at these vacation rentals, but I was very satisfied with this place. It's itty bitty but it had everything I needed. Except a dishwasher but hey, i can manage.
