It was very nice. I would suggest a golf cart. We brought a wagon to use to walk down to the boardwalk. Overall it was a great experience! We would love to stay there again. Next time we will rent a golf cart. It had everything we needed for the stay. I will say it was kinda hard finding the place. We missed our turn twice.

Very nice place that's in a great spot. We walked do to the beach every morning. The community was quite and set out away from downtown so it felt a little more private. Would definitely stay there again.

Cute Condo Close to Beach

Will be back!

This is our new favorite place! Short walk to the beach or we also drove a mile north for car access to the beach. Nice to have 2 options when you have ones who don't want to walk! Had everything we needed + more. We especially enjoyed a little balcony with chairs. Only thing I can think of to improve is a full-length mirror, but wasn't too big of a problem for a 2-nights stay!

September get away

Made many trips to El Cortez property years ago and haven't been here in several years. We were pleasantly surprised with the lovely updated interiors of the property. Only downside is the massive amount of new construction, Port A won't be "little Port A" anymore. But we will be back as we prefer the smaller crowds during the off season.

Nice

If the closet in the bedroom is a locking safe/closet, it needs to be revealed to the guest. It has a keypad, but the same code from the front door doesn't work on it. Still a mystery. Overall, a very nice condo set-up with lots of room and posh things in it. Would book again.

Overall great

Really the only thing that could be done better is the cleaning. I noticed a couple of dead water bugs/cockroaches. No enough to worry about but enough to wonder when the place was last swept. There were also finger prints on the patio door. Seemed as it hadn’t been wiped down in a while. Other than that our stay was amazing and we thank those at Life in Paradise for the accommodation.
