Nice place. Well appointed and as advertised. No check in information was automatic. We had to call, then drive to another location to pick up a packet to get in. That was kind of weird but it all worked out.

Thank you for the review, Brian. We are so happy to hear you found the place well appointed and as advertised! Regarding check-in, we appreciate your feedback. For the security of our guests, we use a specialized keyless entry system where codes are generated unique to each stay only after the unit has been professionally cleaned and inspected. Because we cannot issue the code until this final inspection is complete, we provide the check-in instructions at that time, rather than automatically days in advance, to ensure the unit is 100% ready for you. We apologize for the inconvenience of picking up the parking pass and will look into ways to streamline this process further, but this policy ensures a safe, secure, and clean experience for every guest. We would be delighted to host you again.

Beach condo

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Good location, on the beach. There was a problem with keypad entry upon checking in, maintenance came right over. It’s a small condo but was good for a just a few days, W/D in very small closet in condo would have been challenging to use long term.

the beach view was gorgeous from the dining area - not the deck. the beach itself was beautiful and very quiet. The main TV we could not get cable on - only repeated LG channels. Had to watch tv in the bedroom, very uncomfortable. Very little room in the bedroom - King bed was a bit big for the area and the switch for the overhead fan didn't work. The pool was dirty with sand and bugs.

The view is beautiful and the beach was quiet. All the furniture is worn out and uncomfortable. Condo appeared clean when we arrived, but there was old food on the pots and pans. Also, the nonstick teflon flaked off the pans onto all of the food we cooked. Pans need to be replaced asap. You’re paying for the view, direct access to the beach which was great.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m very glad to hear you enjoyed the beautiful view and quiet beach, those are definitely special parts of staying here. I’m truly sorry about the condition of the furniture and cookware. That’s not the experience I want for my guests. I appreciate you bringing this to my attention, and I’ve already arranged to replace the pots and pans immediately. I’ll also be reviewing the furnishings to ensure everything is comfortable and up to standard. Your feedback helps me improve, and I’m grateful you shared it. If you decide to stay again, I’d love the chance to provide you with a much better experience.
