Thank you for sharing your experience and kind words about the cleanliness. We’re glad the service technician was able to respond promptly, resolve the bathroom issue, and leave everything clean. Your feedback is appreciated and helps us maintain a good standard for future guests.
We rented this beautiful condo and my two small children loved how close the beach was. They enjoyed the balcony and watching the sunset❤️ The condo was spacious and well kept. We will be coming back soon!
The location was convenient but the dishes were dirty in the cabinet,
Had a cockroach run across the bathroom floor on our last night. Lots is construction

Hi Christina,
Thanks so much for taking the time out of your day to leave us this review! Often we are not made aware of issues with the unit until after their departure, we would have been more than happy to have come back out at a convenient time for your party to assist with the dishes. As well, we do spray for insects but there are a few ‘locals’ that can be more stubborn than others! We will be more diligent about looking into the details as we do hold our Southern Standards on every property. If you ever find yourself in the area again, we do invite you back so that we can show you what it means to rent with Southern!
Kindest Regards, Your Southern Team
We couldn’t find how to connect to internet. And big problem and maybe is do to pandemic, there was no Uber or other taxi 🚕 service available. So my advice is have rent a car . Other wise it was everything els was good

This property is rented out through Southern Vacation Rentals and although it is not mentioned in the advertising- the unit has absolutely no toiletries. Not even hand soap or basic cleaning supplies. It is listed in the rental agreement you have to sign off on after you book your stay. So if you’re traveling or flying I’d look elsewhere especially for the price. I actually noticed after - someone else mentioned this in their review. Pros: unit is spacious, had mostly tile, community pool, and beach across the street. Cons: unit was “tidy” not cleaned, no basic toiletries, you will have to drive to local restaurants etc. I would also suggests checking water conditions before going- red tide, waste dumping is high in this area. Check out is also 9am and the unit was not ready unit 4pm - very pricey for such a small window.

Travel by car if you want to come equipped!
This property was just OK. Middle level so there was noise from above. The owners of the unit below were chain smokers which made sitting on the balcony rather unpleasant. No beach towels so if you're traveling by plane, plan ahead. No hot pads for the kitchen. The lower trundle bed didn't have a coverlet, just sheets. There wasn't a spare in the closet so I called the rental property and asked. They said housekeeping would deliver one. They didn't. The pool in the complex wasn't heated and since the weather was cool it limited the time the kids wanted to swim and they LOVE a good pool. Walking to the beach was easy. Probably wouldn't choose to stay here again.
While the property was in a great location, easy to access, park, ext….the listing failed to mention that this property has A LOT of construction happening. 2 units are blocked off, to include the parking lot. Also, you cannot access the balcony. It might seem petty, but having coffee on the balcony on a beach vacation is part of the experience. I can’t do that at home.
I feel a little cheated that the property management had no issue taking my hard earned money, while conveniently leaving out the active construction tidbit. Because yes, that would have affected my booking.
Otherwise, once construction is over and the balcony is usable, I would definitely recommend this place. The condo is perfectly sized for 6, it has everything you need, and is clean.
Unfortunately, when booking my future vacations, I will not use this property management company again.
I live in a constant construction area, due to a natural disaster…so this is why it was important for me to not have to pay to stay in a construction site. Therefore, I feel cheated out of the hard earned money I work for, it the midst of a recession, to get blindsided by details like that.
But if you don’t care about it, it’s a good place to stay.

Hello Kristin,
Thanks so much for taking the time out of your day to leave us this review. We do apologize for the lack of transparency with the construction at the unit. We do our best to keep the notifications on the units as up to date as possible as we do recognize that this does impact the decision to book. Moving forward we will do our best to make sure the attention to details and notice to guests is as streamline and inclusive as possible. In the future, we would love to invite you back with us to any of our beautiful properties to show you a true Southern stay!
Kindest Regards, Your Southern Team
Great experience! Awesome area! Thanks for a GREAT week!
Fridge was not in the best operating condition, dryer was not drying clothes well and balcony was closed for unit and building due to structural problems. Our room was clean, up to date and well equipped. Nice furnishing and beds were comfortable.
