We had a great time staying at the property! Listing is accurate and within walking distance to beach. Both pools were nice and my 2 year old loved the splash pad.

We had issues with the Wash and dryer not working throughout our stay. Maintenance attempted to fix but could not. Put a damper on our schedule of going to the beach and other activities. since we had to had Dry the cloths outside every day. Owners did not attempt to compensate us or give a break on the stay. Broken furniture in living room, was not informed before arrival. Issues with Batteries in TV remote. We spend a lot of money for a genuine break and have a stress free vacation, this property failed to give us that with all the issues.

Will Book Again

This was a great property! Loved the pools and pickleball.Love the amenities. And we loved the location.The only thing I would suggest is to get a new mop. The one there is pretty dirty and the floors needed a sweep or mop.Also, signage about where to find the vacuum would be helpful. We didn't find it until the very last day of our stay, but if we'd known we had one, it would have helped keeping the floors clean

GREAT property, problematic process

The layout, decor, and cleanliness of the property were outstanding, and this was the perfect place to have a family reunion of our two families with multiple kids. The location was close to the beach, and the pool was a big hit. On all these strengths alone, I can heartily recommend the property. The open kitchen/dining/living room downstairs was just right for hanging out and talking. We also had everything we needed for cooking, which was nice. Though the dryer was not working and the downstairs couch sleeper was non-functional, the property managers had let us know about that ahead of time, and they provided a nice replacement bed (fancy blow-up queen) and other dryers on site, not far away. Providing beach toys/equipment on the patio was a great idea, and we had fun with those. I will note that the lock was missing initially on the beach toy chest and the beach towels were missing (one boogie board was also broken), but these were small things. The reason I say "problematic process" is that signing a 4-5 page contract ahead of time seemed a bit much, especially when, despite all that paperwork, the property managers didn't manage to see that we were bringing two dogs until the day before we arrived, and they insisted on charging us a second pet deposit. In general, if managers miss adding a charge at the beginning (and I clearly said we were bringing two), they should eat that charge, not the customer. I asked them to do so, and they refused. So, there is that.

Overall a great experience - especially the checkout policy! So nice to not have a myriad of cleanup procedures; I don’t mind paying a cleaning fee when all we have to do is gather trash and run the dishwasher! The only hiccup was the internet service which was not stellar. But we would stay here again as it’s a good location and offers a ton of amenities

Cute Condo

This property was spotless! The kitchen was very stocked and well organized. The bedrooms and beds were comfortable. Plenty of space for our family. The location was great . Short distance from the beach and the resort amenities were easily accessible. Check in and check out was extremely easy. I liked that the check out process was easy , not too many things on the check out to do list . We are looking forward to staying here again and would highly recommend it .
