We enjoyed our stay even though we had to deal with construction outside. This was preventative construction and we just dealt with it. The views were stunning and being right on the beach was fantastic. Wanda was quick to respond and correct an issue we had with the washing machine. I having nothing put good things to say about our Hosts and the condo.

PCB

Ms Wanda was wonderful to work with. My only complaint is not enough towels, beds were not comfortable, and condo could have used a better cleaning especially for how much u are being charged. Sheets had sand in them and the condo was just wiped down and not fully cleaned. Overall great location for families and close to amenities.

Vacation

Me and my family had a wonderful vacation here, the condo had everything we need and more. The location was ideal for being able to go play golf or go fishing or even pick up take out orders we were close to everything. Being on the second floor facing the ocean was also a huge plus we could watch the beach as the kids took a nap or just sit on the balcony and have a drink and people watch. I would definitely be interested in booking this condo again.
