The condo was nice. Smaller than I expected but still was fine for the price. The property itself was a little outdated but again, for the price, not bad.
Very nice. Perfect location. TV in main room was not working yet made the time there more valuable and personal. Great response from host. Look forward to staying again.

Property is as listed. Right on Seawall, so cross one intersection to hit Babes Beach. Nice pool. Condo itself was cute and quaint. Kids enjoyed the bunk beds. Personal ice maker was a huge plus for my family.

Thank you for your kind words! We're so glad you enjoyed the location and that the kids loved the bunk beds. It's great to hear the personal ice maker was a hit with your family too. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
the pool was excellent and well heated My wife enjoyed it tremendously.the hot tub had one working but it was separate from the pool areas which was not ideal the unit had a nice view of the water and we enjoyed walking around the area which was very safethe Victorian property itself is pretty run down and could use some updating:)The people at the front desk were exceptionally nice and helpful.
This condo was perfect for our family of 3. Our daughter loved the bunkbeds. It’s super easy to cross the street to the beach. It was quiet at night. There was cocktail service at the pool on Friday evening. TV in the bedroom, ice maker, both keurig and drip coffee machines, plenty of dishes, basic seasonings, sand toys in the closet. Very close to Walmart, Starbucks, and Specs.

We're delighted to hear that the condo was perfect for your family of 3! Your comments are much appreciated!
We came in for our daughter’s dance competition and had a busy few days so we didn’t get to enjoy the amenities but the property was clean and quiet. Parking was great. The inside was clean and just like described and what we saw in photos. We were out and about the days we were there so didn’t get to cook or just hang around the condo. We really only used the space to sleep which was a better options than a hotel and way cheaper. We really enjoyed the stay there and would definitely look into it again if it’s just my husband and I again.

Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay and found the property clean, quiet, and exactly as described. It's great to know that parking was convenient and that the space served your needs well during your daughter's dance competition. We're glad you found it to be a better and more affordable option than a hotel. We look forward to welcoming you and your husband back in the future!
Fantastic location, close to everything (including next door to Walmart parking lot). Great soundproofing.Studio size kitchen with the basics, including a apartment size dishwasher & oven/stove! Lots of codes for the secured property, so keep those safe & accessable. The elevator was out when we were here, so 2nd floor (technically third floor as the first floor is parking) could be a challenge with anyone with mobility issues. Overall it worked for us!
Place is excellent location to everything. Owner/manager responsive to problems . Problems with Air Conditioner turning off while we were inside, promt response but made us check a million things, wish they would have just sent services instead of taking up so much of our time trying to figure out. We finally gave up and just kept resetting thermostat. Otherwise perfect.
Overall we enjoyed our stay, it had a great view and we really enjoyed the pool and parking. The unit looked much more roomier in the pictures, it was honestly just a little too cramped for us. My only complaint is that check in wasnt the greatest experience, the person checking us in was distracted trying to leave her shift on time and we were not told about the gate codes needed to get in at night. The elevator also was out of sevice. Just minor inconvenience no fault to the host, so would still recommend this property.

Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the great view, pool, and parking during your stay. We apologize for the unit feeling cramped compared to the pictures and for the check-in experience not meeting expectations. We'll address the issues with our team to ensure better communication and service in the future. We appreciate your understanding regarding the minor inconveniences with the gate codes and elevator. Despite these issues, we're grateful for your recommendation and hope to welcome you back soon.
Overall we enjoyed our stay at this condo. The facilities were nice, especially the heated pool which we used every day of our stay. The location was good because it was close to the beach, so we were able to get our coffee at the pier and go for a daily beach walk. The unit was smaller than I anticipated and since we were there for a week during springtime, we probably had larger suitcases than some who are there for the weekend or in the summer when possibly less luggage is needed. We found our routine, but it would be a bit tight for 4 or 6 people. The bathroom is small and has no towel rack (it does have 2 hooks) so we were required to hang bath towels on hangers in the room. I also liked that there was a coffeemaker there in addition to the Keurig, since we enjoy more than one cup of coffee in the morning.

Thank you for your feedback on your recent stay at our condo. We're glad to hear that overall, you enjoyed your time with us. It's wonderful that you found the facilities, especially the heated pool, to your liking and that our location near the beach was convenient for your daily routines. We appreciate your observations about the unit size and amenities. We understand that having larger suitcases during your springtime stay may have made the space feel a bit tighter, and we'll take note of your suggestion regarding additional towel racks. It's great to know that having both a regular coffeemaker and a Keurig added to your comfort. Your insights are valuable to us, and we hope to welcome you back for another enjoyable stay in the future.
