This condo is very spacious and having 3 bedrooms with 3 bathrooms with a roomy living room and kitchen area was perfect for 3 couples. This is a 2nd floor unit but stairs were clean and very private to get into the unit.

CLASSICAL REUNION 2023

My sisters (3) and I stayed in your condo and it was great. Although we had to climb stairs and more stairs inside the condo but other than that we had a great time. The condo was clean and was also provided a washer and dryer to clean my clothes before I left the condo. Great place to stay. We didn't like the stairs because we are all over 55 and our knees really couldn't take it but other than all the stairs it was great. I would recommend staying there again. Quite, clean, accessible to everything. You can walk to wherever you want. Shopping is also in walking distance. Great Stay.

Just okay

The location of this condo is perfect. The walk was not bad at all and if we wanted to drive, the parking lot for the beach access is right at the end of the street. However, the house was dirty. All of the furniture was ripped, stained, or hadn’t been cleaned. You can definitely tell the pictures uploaded are at very flattering angles. The rooms were perfect for our family because each one had a bathroom and the kitchen came well stocked with coffee mugs and dishes if we needed them. Would recommend buying new furniture for the family areas.

Great location!

Pros: Nice size condo. Easy walk to beach. Everything we needed or wanted was close by. Full kitchen and washer/dryer in unit. Pool was clean. Hot water was hot (never ran out) and AC was cold. Wifi worked well throughout unit. Location felt safe. Cons: Listing stated sofa bed but did not have- owner contacted property mngmt and had a roll away brought to us. Opened the rollaway to find someone else's dirty, wadded up bedding. Listing states sleeps 8 but is better suited for 6 or fewer as there is not enough dining seating (4 at table, 2 at counter) or dinner plates for more than 6. Found unwashed cookware. Furniture throughout not in the best condition but was still functional. Master bath shower head clogged and struggles to spray. Master bath had musty smell coming from sink drains- I purchased bathroom cleaner and sprayed into drains regularly and it helped some. Master bed reasonably comfortable but quite noisy- sitting, rolling over, etc makes it squeak. Dryer (washer/dryer comdo) was super loud and would take several cycles to dry small loads. Property mngmt would only give us one parking pass even though we had 2 vehicles. It's tandem parking and they told us just to keep the pass in the car thats parked in back (so we had to continually swap vehicle positions and pass). This can be a top-notch property with a few tweaks. We still enjoyed our stay. I'd consider staying here again with some improvements in the aforementioned issues.

Great Family Vacation

We had a blast on our vacation. The property was in a great location on the island. It was very clean and the check-in/check-out process was a breeze. Will definitely book again!!

Nice Unit with some annoyances

The unit itself is very spacious and comfortable and worked well with our group of 6. Although there are several decks, there is no deck furniture, making those amenities pretty useless. Also, the bed in the downstairs bedroom squeaks with movement during the night. There was no way we were going to use the hot tub in the complex however because the water was a yellowish green. We also found it very annoying that we were told by the rental agent that we needed to wear wristbands. This meant an extra trip to the rental office for part of our group that was arriving late. After all that, no one else in the whole complex had wristbands on so they didn't seem to serve any purpose except to be annoying in bed.
