Perfect family vacation

My husband and I and our sons (10 & 3) stayed for 5 day and it was a perfect vacation. Relaxing, quiet, family oriented complex. Lots of kids around for mine to play in the pool with. The condo itself was perfect for us. My boys got a kick out of having their own space upstairs too. Everything was nice and clean when we arrived and we had everything we needed. Thanks so much for the great vacation. We will be coming back for sure!!

Convenient in proximity to the beach. Easy to get to. Accurate listing. But sheets/pillow cases were stained yellow. Also an opened bar of soap and hair were left in downstairs shower upon arrival.

Response from VrboOwner on 2 Aug 2020

Hi, Yes, this is a popular unit due to the location. I can't believe that your pillow and sheets were stained. We would have been more than happy to send out a cleaner no charge, but we were not aware that this is what y'all walked into. We have removed these cleaners from our staff and are extremely sorry this was your experience. We do hope you give us a second chance and would love the opportunity to rent to you again.

Stairs from hell

This property was supposed to be beachside property and it was not. I got a good view of the road. It had three flights of stairs you had to walk up because of no elevator and I am handicapped with bad knees.

We are sorry to hear that your stay was less than desirable. Although the condo itself is beach front, not all of the condos face the beach as seen in the photos. We are looking to change the verbiage to make this more obvious for guests who are booking

Great condo with plenty of space.

The condo was very nice, and fairly well maintained. Had issues parking when we arrived as someone was blocking our parking space but that was resolved later in the evening. Spiral staircase in condo seemed loose. Also knew there were stairs bit didn’t realize that the 110’s were on 2nd floor which was 2 flights up, my poor knees were mad but we survived it. Would definitely recommend this unit to others.

Nice place, read full review

The place was great with the exception of couch in living room. It is severely wore out and if you plan on using you'll need an air mattress, it is even uncomfortable to sit on. Other than that the kitchen is stocked well and beds are real comfortable. Just make sure you know this place is 3 flights up to main level, if you have issues as there is no elevator. Proximity to beach is awesome , although your view is of main street, which can be noisy and the swimming pool. I would stay again if the couch was replaced, sooooo uncomfortable.
