Perfect....

Everything went very smoothly from check-in to check-out. Ladies in the management office were very friendly and welcoming. We arrived around 2:30 and our condo was ready although official check-in wasn’t until 4:00. The condo was everything we hoped it would be. Gorgeous view from the large balcony and very peaceful also. As mentioned in other reviews the master bedroom does get quite warm however waking up with 2 walls of windows overlooking the beach was well worth it. Beach service was fantastic and Evan went above and beyond to not only take care of the vacationers but also the beach itself. We will definitely be returning.

We loved the beautiful view and balcony. Absolutely perfection. The room came with beach service (two chairs and an umbrella), and additional chairs, floats and beach toys in the condo. The office staff were very friendly. However, we wont be back. The cleaning staff are sub par. Any metal finishes were rusty, food crumbs in the kitchen corners, broken microwave handle that you could tell was previously glued back on (they brought a new one), food grime on the stove handle, makeup on what i hooe was fresh sheets and the worst, roaches. We even left a day early because we weren't willing the bring them home with us. We were too grossed out.

We’re happy to hear you loved the view, balcony, and beach extras, and we appreciate your compliments about our staff. We’re very sorry about the cleanliness concerns and the pest issue — that’s not up to our standards. The microwave handle had been glued as a temporary fix until the correct part arrived, and we replaced it after your stay. We do wish you had reached out about the other items so we could have taken care of them right away. Thank you for the feedback.

Great view, cleaning is suspect.

Awesome veranda. But the rest not so much. Someone’s dirty underwear on the bedroom floor when we checked in, sheets did not look changed, oven door and side of refrigerator full of grease, utensils not fully cleaned, main bedroom door falling off hinges and will not close. One elevator looks permanently down, the button sticks on other elevator. No where to pull under to load or unload in the rain. Entire building and grounds open without locking security.

The sunrise from the bedroom and the sunset from the Balcony. I shared a few concerns with the property manager and they were quick to address my concerns. The only additional recommendation is to consider getting some chairs with backs for the kitchen table or bar. As a senior Citizen, it was not comfortable sitting in either spot. Overall, the condo is very relaxing and comfortable.
