The property was well-maintained. It was clean, the pool was serviced every day. The boardwalk was cleaned every day and there were no bugs. I do have issues about the unit I stayed in though. There was no blender provided, there was no hot water. It was warm at best. The headboard on the bed had barbs and little nails sticking out from it where I cut my hand one night when I reached back to fluff my pillow. The carpeting in the bedroom was dirty and had stains on it when I arrived. I got down on my hands and knees with soap and water and cleaned it for three consecutive days to get it clean. The stopper in the kitchen for the drain was the wrong size and you couldn’t fill the sink to do the dishes. The Internet/wi~fi was very poor and slow, and the cabling to the TVs was a nightmare of lines and boxes that was almost the craziest thing I’ve ever seen. I couldn’t get the TV in the bedroom to work even after a maintenance man came and supposedly fixed it. The sink in the bathroom would not drain right. A maintenance man came and put some liquid down it but then immediately flushed it. My dad was a plumber and that’s not how you do it. You let it sit to dissolve everything and then you flush it. Of course within, a day or two it was draining poorly again. The redeeming feature was the view and the five minute walk it took to get onto the beach. They have a very nice hot tub that has really hot water in it instead of lukewarm bathwater, and it was very invigorating and relaxing.

Great location for a family beach trip

Couldn’t have asked for a better location, just a 5-minute walk to the beach. View was wonderful. The condo was clean when we got there and the free towel exchange is great. The furniture needs to be updated—some of the chairs were falling apart. The mattresses are sleepable. I would choose this condo again for the location and hope they update the furniture and mattresses.

Works great for a couple

Was a nice condo and location. It is on the small side but ok for a couple. If you are planning on cooking meals while there, the Kitchen is TINY!! but workable for small simple meals. The Bed is small also but again workable. We would definitely stay here again.

Condo needs updating

Furniture is very old, worn and dirty. Ceiling has several spots missing texture and is cracked with pieces hanging down. Kitchen and bathroom cabinets are in bad shape. Carpeting in bedroom is worn and filthy. Even though the location is right on the beach, I would not rent this unit again.

Beautiful view, very dated condo.

If you want a great view of the gulf and easy access to the beach this is the place for you. The condo is a decent size for two. Bed was comfortable and condo was sufficiently stocked with kitchen supplies. On the down side the carpet in the bedroom was disgusting. We had to place puppy pads all over the carpet to walk in the bedroom. The sofa was probably 50 years old and very uncomfortable. Both of us fell to the middle when sitting on it. The recliner needs a good cleaning. Renovations next door continued all month. Noise and odour were very annoying. I would conclude in saying if the down sides were taken care of we would recommend this place.
