We were very satisfied with our stay here. It was exceptionally clean and well maintained. There are plenty of amenities and lots of extra electrical plug ins which also added to convenience. That’s a definite plus for me. Easy beach and pool access with outside bathrooms close to both. Would definitely stay here again anytime! Highly recommend!

Thank you for taking the time to complete our online questionnaire, we are glad that you enjoyed your stay! Saturday is our busiest check in day and Spring Break was a complete sell out with all condos booked!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The view and location was fantastic. However, the mattress needs to be replaced in the bedroom, the bathroom could use a paint job or a serious cleaning of the walls above and around the shower and the furniture in the living room and dining room are showing some wear. One of the chairs at the table has a leg that is unstable.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My vacation rental experience was really smooth,I booked the place online on a Sunday afternoon and the following Monday morning I heard from the friendly staff, the customer service was always great. I absolutely loved the condo ,also loved the fact that the actuall resort wasn't so big so it felt like we had our own private beach , when most of the resorts were huge and were full of people. The condo is really cute , great location and just enough space for us. Will defenely book this place again .
