.5 stars.

If I could only give half a star I would, but only for the furniture being the same as the photo’s advertised. Everything else was awful, from the price increase after booking all the way to the roaches that didn’t require lights to be turned on to scamper across the countertops. Will never book here again.

We loved the decor and amenities — unit has a washer and dryer, plenty of towels, all new appliances

The property is impeccably decorated — great remodel — all new appliances and every amenity needed including lots of extra towels and a great A.C! Our only complaint iis that the unity needs to be sprayed for water roaches. We had three — one in the toilet (that was a surprise!), one on the wall, and one on our pillow in the bed. The unit needs to be sprayed, and I know roaches are an ongoing battle in coastal locations. I spoke the front desk and she was basically no help and told me to contact the property owner. Also, the back sliding glass door off the den does not lock which would be a concern with younger kids. The floors also need to be better cleaned as our feet would be jet black if we walked Around without shoes. It has a lot of potential but these things need to be addressed.

Nice Condo

We loved the condo and the location. The only thing we didn’t like, is the bugs that we had in the condo.

Clean, quiet place to stay

This condo has been updated and looks great. Both the kitchen/living and bedroom has ocean views with sliding glass doors for the balcony outside. Very clean and had every dish/utensil that would be needed to cook. Check in was incredibly easy and the front desk was always hospitable. Will definitely stay again!

Great beach trip!

My wife, 2 year old & I stayed here for 3 nights in June & it was wonderful. Very clean, plenty spacious compared to other properties in the area. Absolutely lovely view, 30 second walk to the sand, AC blows cold, what more could be said? Short drive to all of the great restaurants & pier. Very happy with our stay
