Great location with close access to the beach! Wonderful pool area and lazy river. Kitchen had all the essentials. Nice to have a washer and dryer in unit. Only thing I could say would improve the unit would be updated tv’s that I could connect for streaming. Host was great with communication and answered questions very quickly. I would definitely stay here again.

Condo and resort were beautiful. Check in process was quick and easy. The original unit (619) was very nice and great for the two of us. After being there for a few hours, we noticed the A/C was not cooling. Contacted the owner who was extremely helpful. Moved us to another unit that they had available. Next unit was extremely nice (411). We were there right after the Labor Day weekend. No crowds at all. Everyone we encountered was very friendly. Facilities were clean and well kept. Spent most of our time in the pool and lazy river. Location is great. Far enough west to be out of the sea wall crowds. Yet close enough to go enjoy restaurants and attractions with just a short drive. Will definitely be coming back.

Great resort and condo, perfect for families, direct beach access a big plus

Family of 4 - 2 adults and 2 young girls. Condo is great. Kids loved the bunks. Everything clean, tidy, and well maintained. Check in easy. Location great with direct beach access. Pool and lazy river are top class. Other on site amenities are great too (game room, bars, etc). Pleasure pier and moody gardens only about 10 mins drive (max) away. Will stay again.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The beach access, the check-in process, and the pools were fantastic. The condo was always easy to reach and the host was kind. There were beach toys provided for the kids, which was also kind, even though a few of them were broken. However, the cleanliness of the condo was not what we expected. There was mold all over the shower curtain and in the shower. There was food from the guest before us in the floor in the living room. The sheets were the equivalent to hospital sheets, we chose to purchase new sheets for the bed to make it more comfortable. There is no closet in the condo, so any hanging clothes must be hung in the bathroom where your drying towels also need to be hung. The washing machine left a strange odor on our clothes that came out once I washed them again at home. Overall, I would say we were thankful to have a place on the beach, but there were many things that we were disappointed with.

Response from VrboOwner on 22 Aug 2026
I am so sorry you had this experience. We provide all our guests our contact info including our personal cell and encourage them to reach out during their stay if anything isn’t 5 star worthy. If we had known, we would have immediately sent over housekeeping to reclean the unit for you. The main bedroom closet was converted to bunks as the pictures show but we also had a smaller closet built in the primary bedroom with space to hang clothes. This is the same closet where the beach toys were stored.
