It was a great place! It was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. Super close to stores and restaurants which is great when you’ve got kids. Loved having Walmart right across the street! Would definitely book again.

The condo was very well kept and a nice size for our group. I especially enjoyed having the washer and dryer for our wet and dirty beach clothe... it was a convenient walk across the street to the beach and also right next door to Walmart, which was helpful when we needed groceries.

My family of five stayed here for the week. We enjoyed the quiet floor level condo. It had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Plenty of room. Plenty of sleeping options. Would definitely stay again. The condo was right around the corner from the pool and hot tub. We were literally across the street from the water with a short walk. It was great!!
We loved this condo! It was the perfect size for me, my two daughters and grandbaby for our little girls' trip. This unit is right by the pool and right by the gate to walk to the beach, so it was perfect! The pool and hot tub were absolutely amazing. The beach was HOT, so we spent most of our full day relaxing in the pool. The owner is very friendly and quickly responded to any questions I had. I am definitely keeping this unit in my list to book again when we are on the island.
Lovely beach get away opportunity. The only downside was the additional parking fees. They were ridiculous. Unit could also use wash clothes added to the included towels, but overall a pleasant place close to the beach, with its own amenities like a pool and fitness room.

Needs work.
This place has a lot of potential. The area its located in is perfect. About a block away from shoreline. However, it needs a major deep cleaning; the rugs, the sofa and linens. It seemed to me the last ppl to rent it went to the Beach and the owners did not clean after they left. You could feel the sand on the floor and especially on the sofa. The one major rug in the only room was hard from where something was spilled and not cleaned properly.We were in town for a graduation and luckily we did not spend too much time at the condo.

Property was very clean. Property was secured with a gated entry. Everything we needed was in the condo. Within walking distance to restaurants and a Walmart. Great property will be booking again next year for my son's martial arts tournament.
The property was so clean. The condominium community was very well kept and the pools were awesome. My only complaint was the entry gate was never locked, it was always wide open.
We reallt enjoyed our stay in this 1 bedroom condo. It was very clean and we appreciated all of the extras like shampoo, conditioner, and body soap. The pool area was wonderful even know the hot tub didn't have bubbles it was still nice and hot. One suggestion we have would be to put a TV in the bedroom. Thanks for the stay!
The location was perfect, it was across the street from the beach. The house was comfortable, clean, and well stocked. However, it was geared more towards a family with children. There should be a mirror in the bedroom, so you do not have to wait your turn in the bathroom.
