First time in FL

Overall, this was a great stay. Clean rooms and close to just about everything. And the private beach was a huge plus.

Nice place, but bring quarters

Very nice place to stay and very clean. Only wish it would have been easier to get quarters to do laundry. Huge miscommunication with the front gate as they sent us to the restaurant for quarters and they don’t do that there. No change machine on site. Only downfall of the whole place.

Will NOT stay here again

The property was nice and we enjoyed the pools very much and easy access to the beach. The condo on the other hand was not very clean. I my self have animals but did not bring them with me on the trip and they also allow pets in the condo but the floors were covered in dog hair and my daughter also found a dead tick on the floor under the table that was the size of a dime. As soon as we got there we were looking around, there was still wet dirty towels for the tenants before in one of the hampers. We had to use the same washcloths and towels for 4 days because we didn’t know you have to pay $3 to wash and $3 to dry a load of clothes. Also there was fecal matter stuck to the side of the toilet when we arrived and the worst part of it I killed 5 roaches and found one dead under the bed. I would also take some of the unnecessary things out of the condo to provide more room, it was very cluttered. I would probably fire the cleaning crew they have and hire someone more thorough.

We stayed in Unit 2017 and overall had an okay stay, but there were a few things future guests should be aware of.The listing describes being close to the beach, but in our experience, it was not walkable from our specific unit location. We were at the far end of the property and needed to drive to access the beach, which was a bit inconvenient.The pull-out couch was very worn and thin, and unfortunately not comfortable for sleeping. We had to use extra cushions to make it manageable.We also noticed a few cleanliness issues, including the stove not being fully cleaned, some dirt on the bathroom ceiling, and rust in the freezer area.The location itself is convenient to the general area, but we do feel the listing could be clearer about beach access and sleeping accommodations.
