We stayed here for four nights in March with another family. There were plenty of beds and a beautiful location. It was a quick walk to the beach. Our building had a private pool which was nice to get some quiet pool time. Loved being on the lower level and having our own hot tub. Wonderful stay!

We loved this ground floor condo that gave us easy access to the pool and lazy river area, especially with our young kids! The beach was also a short, convenient walk and having the wagon and chairs available was super helpful. One thing that kept our stay from being 5 stars was that the floors were not clean upon our arrival (we could feel sand). Also it would have been nice to have a few more amenities provided to get us started (for example, we only had one trash bag and the hand soap was almost empty when we arrived so we had to run out and buy stuff right away). A few simple things could make a big difference! Overall, though, it was a great stay and we would recommend it!

Fun Family Spring Break Trip

The condo was very nicely supplied and furnished. It had everything that you would need for a nice relaxing trip. The location of the condo was great and the kids loved the direct access to the pool. The private hot tub was a bonus. We would highly recommend this to our friends and family and we would stay here again if we are ever in the area.

Beautiful condo with more than enough room for 10+ people. The hot tub on the balcony was AMAZING and the whole resort had a lot of family friendly amenities. The walk to the beach wasn’t bad although it was kind of crowded there. Julie was easily accessible and an amazing host. Only thing is maybe more blankets in the condo and the bathtub drain fixed
