Very good location, but unfortunately, that was the only positive thing about our stay.When we walked in, the smell in was very bad, possibly because the ceilings in the bathroom and bedroom are covered with mold. The apartment was described as remodeled, but honestly, there was nothing that looked newly remodeled.The cleaning was also very poor. We found insects on the floor and a lot of dust under the couch, table, and bed.We also had a problem with the TV. I messaged the host, Randy, and he said he would come the next day, but he never showed up and never answered my messages again.Would I stay in this apartment again? A big NO. Thank you!

The condo was beautiful and the perfect size with everything we needed. The location by the pond is amazing, we got to see so much wildlife. Egrets, ospreys, fish jumping, even a coyote at night. The property is very quiet and the assigned parking is a plus. I will definitely stay here again. The pool and gym area were very clean. Thank you.

Place was quiet and close to beach. Only complaint was that when we left and came back an errand etc., almost always someone was parked in our reserved spot. Became annoying after a couple tries.

Anniversary stay

Overall the property is nice, however there were peanuts on the living room floor that was there when we arrived. We only had two bath towels, two wash cloths, and three hand towels. It would have been nice to have two for each of us. It is close to the beach which was very nice.

Booked the "surf shack" but was told few days prior it was dbl booked. Disappointed but, was able to work with the owner and book a like rental. Bed was smaller but, it worked since we were either at the beach or out. All in all it worked out.

Beach club

Condo is cute and cozy but needs deep cleaning. Baseboards, pictures, couch, lamps are very dusty. Kitchen sink is filthy. Ice maker works but leaks water so it was solid. Shower is very slow in draining. Patio table was very dusty.

Condo was great. It needs a new coffee maker as I had to clean it as it was really gross. Also the railings on the balcony are loose. The key to the door outside on patio doesn’t work. The bathroom sink drain plug was out and the drain was really gross. Other than that everything was great

The location of the residence is exceptional, as it is situated just minutes away from the beach, providing convenient access to coastal activities. Additionally, having fishing available on-site is a noteworthy feature. However, a significant concern arises upon entering the residence; there is a strong odor of mold that is quite overwhelming and raises health concerns. The smell is particularly evident in the bathroom around the vents and the shower area, as well as within the bedroom. This musty scent is consistent with mold, and the environment is notably dusty, with visible accumulation on the walls and ceilings throughout the property. Due to the lengthy Drive we chose to stay but to use the location for obvious reasons such as showering due to the overwhelming scent we chose to spend majority of our time outside which was a waste of our money due to us not being able to really enjoy what we paid for because of the scent

Disaster

A cracked, weather-beaten front door greeted us. The door code I was assigned did not work. If this unit had been recently renovated, I’m not believing it. The bathroom sink was rusted and baseboards were rotting. Gnats we’re plentiful and dead bugs were noted upon our arrival into the condo. We were supposed to start the dishwasher before we left. No dishwasher pods in sight. Suffice it to say we won’t be returning.

Nice location but needs some TLC

I stayed at this condo for the weekend and, while the location near the pond is fantastic and one of the main reasons I returned, there were a few issues that impacted my stay.First off, there was a noticeable mildew/musty smell that greeted us as soon as we walked in, which really set a negative tone for the weekend. The bathroom rug was in desperate need of a wash (or replaced) – it was quite dirty. Additionally, the rug in front of the French doors was also in need of a good cleaning. Another thing I remembered from a previous stay was that shampoo and soap were provided, but they were missing this time around. While I should have confirmed that these amenities would still be available, it was a bit of a surprise since they had been in the past. That said, the condo itself is a nice space, and I hope the owners can address some of the cleanliness issues.

Summer vacay

Over all I was pleased with the place, the pool was just a few steps from the condo so was the bbq pit. The balcony over seeing the pond was nice. Only hiccup I would say would be the ants on the kitchen counter and the shower where it would over flow and take a while for the water to drain. Did contact the property owner to inform them so hopefully those issue where taken care of. Other than that we loved the place it was awesome and would definitely book again. Thank you so much we had a blast!!!
